Excellent job. Great looking figure and nice weathereing on the DUKW. One criticism if I may though... I work in the bottled gas industry and first of all, it is unlikely they would lay the tanks down in the cargo compartment as depicted, particularly unsecured and allowed to roll. ALSO and more importantly they would never transport flammable and explosive gas without a protective cap on the valve. If the vehicle is involved in an accident and that valve is damaged, either the valve will blow out of the top of the tank like a projectile (It is under pressure after all) or the whole tank will take off like a torpedo. I've seen it happen! One time several years ago a 100 pound capacity propane tank belonging to my employer fell over on a slope and when it hit the ground (frozen), it blew the valve out and they found the tank inside a concrete block warehouse at a Ford plant that was shut down for the Cristmas holiday.

Nothing left to add But Gosh that is the best I have seen done on the DUKW.
The figure is one of the best I have seen also.
You must post some of what you used on paints and the Ropes are really great.

Thanks for posting.

Magnificent workmanship. Well done

Thanks friends!

Claude: for base colour I airbrushed Tamiya XF62 Olive drab (acrylic) . After decals and dry-transfers I applied three matt varnish coats (Gunze).
Weathering: first of all, some very light washes to the whole model (I call them “filters”): 95% Humbrol thinners and 5% oil paint (black+burnt umber, Vandyke brown, etc..). Later, using a small point brush (nr° 0 or 00) I applied a selective wash with a less diluted mixture only on the panel lines and around engravings and rivets. Then I used MIG Jimenez's technique: spotting the model with various oil colours, that I blended with a flat brush after 1/2 minutes.
After a couple of days I applied a light dry-brush to highlight details (projections, rivets, etc...). Than using a very small point brush and Vallejo colours (olive drab + black) I applied scrapings and strippings. Final steps were rust and pure metal effects (with parsimony and after consulting good pictures!!).

ciao Tom
