Thanks for a really great article ti. 
It was simple and less complicated. The stages idea was a good method. I am surprise that your weathering methods is nothing more but simple...nothing wrong mind you just for the results you get one would think that you used complicated methods. 
Once again, great job. I've taken some notes already. Hope to see more articles from you in the future.

Absolutely beautiful work Charles, as always. I really like your scratchbuilding work and it inspires me. I also like to paper staps and slings you've used here. It's almost a lost technique in the days of PE but that's how it was done 'in the day'. Paper is a medium that's often overlooked and I'm proud to say I still use it often.
Again, first rate work Charles, you make beautiful models. Well done sir.

Thank you kindly Bob. I do appreciate the comments. Paper is so easy and less coplicated to deal with...but the PE version is also better detailed than the paper version...if you count the buckle...

That should be interesting. any tips on what that is on drawing board?
BTW, one question. The different shades on the tires...they were done after you spray painted the tires with the brown paint right? Love the accent they you get.ti

I had sprayed the tires with the tan Tamiya paint first than went over it with the diluted mixture. I'm building the ESV stryker. I am doing another build article on something else but i might do the next one on the ESV. We'll see.

No problem. BTW, I've done some changes to the ATGM since that article was written. Removed the rope and rugsack. Added a rolled up tarpin and added more weathering as well as some rearrangementof extra details. Will add a pic later. The IPMS Open is coming up soon..so I have to brush up on some of the parts.

sorry to answer so late. Was outta town. Ti, the updates looks awesome. I particularly like the tarp. How did you achieve the look? looks real to me. Care to share your method...than you. Again, this styker beast looks fantastic.
I hope one of the manufacturers come out with it soon. Or maybe Miloslav can put one together for us.

Thanks Jason. Method was simple. 1. Wet tissue papper rolled up 2. Then painted with wate based paint while still wet. 3. weathered with pigments when it was completely dried. That's it.
Nice to see you're coming out with this variant...as always, I'm always the last to know So all my work was for nothing...

Such a simple method for a great looking item. Thanks Ti. Miloslav, I did not doubt you would be doing this variant.

Thanks for a great article.
If I may ask, how far away did you hold the rattle can when spraying on the "dirt"?

You're welcome John. Glad you enjoyed it. I held the can about 20cm from the model. I also used a piece of cardboard as a reflector to reduce the over spray these cans cause as you spray. I also used a kitchen strainer or fryer strainer to reduce the amount of spray particles.
My picture taking abilities is left to be disired. The model looks much better in person than in the pictures...so I would like to think..
