Good day!
Finally finished this one, a DML 251/16, originally started for the Puffing Dragon campaign (oops). Built it OOB, washed it with oils, used Tamiya Dark Yellow for the base color and Testor's enamels for the detail areas. Applied some mud underneath, and used Warpigs and MIG pigments. Covered with Gunze Sangyo Clear Flat.









Comments and criticism welcome, please! Thanks for looking!

Cheers -

Tim

Looks good Tim.

Really nice job on the build.

But as said some larger pics would help to see better.

Neil / James,
Thanks for the comments, and tip on the pictures being bigger (always been a problem)

Will do Ed, thanks for looking. Didn't like how the mud on the lower hull initially came out, but after some doctoring turned out okay, agree could use some more along the sides.

Thanks again all!

A really looking good looking one. The blue numbers give a nice contrast to the vehicle. I would just add some dirt to the lower part of the sides and wheels. You made a muddy lower hull but the sides and wheels are just without any trace of dirt. What's working good is a earth colour paint diluted 95 % thinner -5% paint and airbrushed on very thin coats to the lower part of the upper hull. Than just few splashes of pigments or pastel or home made mud (for example the same you used on the lower hull).
