VERY nice - sweet weathering job! Not overdone, just right I think.

Thanks, I appreciate that. I use burnt iron for the paint chips. There is a slight red color that is close to the color of weather exposed steel.
I was afraid I was overdoing it a bit.

Great job on that Mk.IV Carl. I like the weathering, makes the plastic look like heavy metal

Here's my Yellow Tank, a very old Tamiya kit I had from a long time ago from model boxes bought in a stack at a flea market. It came in a box marked for a US army Jeep with no instructions or decals. Went together poorly and I had to scratch build a couple of parts that were not present. But all in all, I was excited to build a yellow tank and to participate in this campaign.

I have completed my Sdfkz 222 for this campaign but can not take decent pictures as I'm still not used to my new camera. Will try my best this week.

Hi Everybody,
This little thing is my Panzer II by Tamiya. I enjoyed it, when I made it. I hope you will like it. I used Tamiya and Gunze Ac. Washed with oils and finally migments .
I am waiting for your comment.
Thnx

I am an XTREMELY late enlisty to this campaign! I came across this website about a month ago so I am very new. I was aware of the goings on, but I was also trying to graduate high school!!! Now that it is over and I have free-time I have been building models all day... everyday. I built my LAV-25 in about 36 hours... straight. The weathering is pretty extreme, but I got it all from pictures my buddy took on his latest tour in Iraq. The writing near the Bushmaster was stolen from a picture of a .50 cal gunner. I hope it is up to snuff (it is only my second armored model!!!!). PLEASE: any feedback on technique would be great! I was mostly an aircraft modeler up until last month!

-SolidSnake-Tank looks real good. The chain and bucket look to big for the scale. I can't imagine how hard it would beto use a chin when the links are almost as big as my head. But the tank does look really good.

Thanks Cap. Armor is very new to me so I think it will take a few more kits to get everything right. Thank you for the welcome.

Finished!
Put the finishing touches on this baby this afternoon. Thoroughly enjoyed it, my first 1/35 armour kit in 10 years. Of course, now that I've taken the pictures I notice half a dozen things that need correcting!
The tracks are a little bit saggy because the Italeri vinyl didn't like the Mig thinners I used to apply the sand pigments with....whoops! I'll probly reposition the commander as well, his hands are in a bit of a limbo where they are right now , plus a few other annoyances. When I've dotted all those I's, then I shall put some pics up in the critique forum.
Till then, thanks for the Campaign, its been a blast!
