I hate markings but I will place them tomorrow.
And I will do a few washes after I placed the decals.

Thanks

Hey Hilbert!

Looks good! Nice chipping!
Is that tarp also made out of Dash?

Hey!

Well....saw you busy when you started on this kit and you really took things serious (really, I'd have burried that flash on the road wheels under a layer of mud lol) and it looks like you've maintained this spirit during the rest of the build. Painting work, weathering and of course the tarp look very cool

I do agree with 3442 the tarp could use some weathering and snow on top of the tarp would be cool!

It's up to you

Martin

Good job Hilbert,

As the others allready stated, nice weathering and chipping. Can you reveil your technique on the Das-tarp? It looks great, and das is probably the cheapest stuff to work with...

Keep the pics coming! John.

It's very very simple.

You take Das klei no matter wich kind (I took the white one).
knead the clay untill it is soft.
Spread it out as a large flat surface about 2 to 3 mm thick.
Cut it in size of the area that you'll cover.
Put it on the model and be sure it lays realistic.

Then be sure it will not fall in, that isn't happen in realtime also, so on your model too, so I made 2 bars over the area.

Then you must wait untill it's dry, then you weather it etc.

Very simple and easy to make, it takes about 10 minutes to make, and a day till it's dry.

Thanks for the comments!
