Paul---It looks great. Good effect with the white wash and a very realistic appearance on the model.
Erhan---Love your T-34...........very nicely done.

Hi Guy,
I will, hopefully, get all the streaking and chipping done in the next few days and then play with the mud mix I have planned for the running gear. Should be a further update soon.
All the best,
Paul
@ Marc...
Really nice finish on the J, are there side-skirts to be added as well? Look forward to seeing more.
All the best,
Paul

Delbert, the mud is a combination of Doc O'Brien's dirty brown weathering powder, Plaster, water and elmers glue for a adhesive.
Paul, the sideskirts are currently being added.
Unfortunately, i had an accident with some superthin CA, and it got on a piece of mesh. Very dissappointed.
Thanks for the compliments, guys.

Marc...........looks great. Good drybrushing application and your camo was applied very well. Sorry the side-skirts caused so much trouble.

Update on my M4A3 105mm Sherman.
Well, I finally finished the basic painting, two coats of gloss with Future, then applied the decals. I sealed the decals with another coat of Future. Once dry, I applied a thinned coat of lightened O.D. on all upper surfaces to represent fading from the elements. A dusting of earth was then applied to the running gear, and sides of the hull, and then a very light coat of dust over the top surfaces as well.
Will seal the paint with another coat of Future so I can start the weathering process with oils.

I was able to remove most of the spilled CA off my mesh. Got them all mounted, and washed. Now for some drybrushing and hopefully i'm finished.
I can't wait for this kit to be done!!!

Hi Marc,
Well done, lovely job and the side skirts look good. I agree that a J is less interesting without them.
All the best,

Excellent job on that Jagdpanzer Paul.
Watching the progress on your build and some other modellers makes me want to buy one of these.
I'm just not sure if i want to deal with tracks again right now.
EDIT I can't believe that thing is Braille Scale.
Totally impressive.
