Hello

This is my new upcoming project. I dont know about the camo yet since its my first two pattern camo. Will try out some oils on this build and less mud but more dust on the tank and ofcourse rust!




Thanks

I love to paint

I redid the camo to a three tone camo instead. Washed with Woodland scenics burnt umber and raw umber in a wash with distilled water. Gonna add another one tomorrow. Then its a dullcoat and then Im going to dust the tank and give it some light mud and rust.






Thanks

I like the paint job, nice pattern.
One thing I'm not a fan of is the quantity of pigment and the focused location (along seams). The quantity makes it feel like heavy dirt, but the location throws it off becuase not just the seams would be that dirty.
As you said - you're not done so more to come I'm sure.

Scott:

Thank you for your comment. Now that I come to think about it your right. Maybe if I darken it with some dark mud pigment and randomly put in some new rust maybe. Ill experiment.

Thanks

Thanks

Just a curiosity, I noticed that you've got the gun travel-lock installed on the glacis but not the Notek light? It should sit right beside it, the support base is molded into the hull but you don't have the light in place?

How do you get customer service for DML? I sure could use a lead so I can get a part replaced
