Thanks Paul.
For paint I use Gunze Sangyo color H340 or Tamiya NATO Green. For next step I use Mig Wash and pigments.
Pigments I mixed with Ronson petrol.

I "heart" Alberta beef AND this model. Seriously Miloslav, I think this is my favorite model that you've built so far. The weathering is outstanding.

this is a really great build. Many thanks for sharing it with us.
I'm afraid I should give up my project seeing your result.

Absolutely awesome!!

Milo - I've read through your build log... what figures did use? Did you sculpt them yourself?

Keep up the great work, looking forward to your other projects!

Yup, that would be correct a muti-tasker, command tank, issue orders, defend tank,clear dust, take photos, then repeat, not in that order..........
