Hi Stan the paint used for the staghound was Tamiya Olive Green with a few drops of Buff mixed in to lighten it but it goes real dark when you put the Johnston Clear on so I have added a mix of Yellow Orche and white Oil wash. Then Over sprayed that with another coat of Tamiya Buff thined with screen wash then a good coat of Matt varnish to give it a flat finnish. the next stage is to dust it up using Mig Pigments aruond the lower hull and wheels and last some pin washed of Burnt umber and Raw umber to highlight the pannel lines then a few scratch marks here and there around the turret where the crew would climb about. Hope to get this all done by the weekend

Just a q uick update. Paint on and layer or two of Pledge on. Hopefully get to the decals soon enough then weathering. The green is more on the mark than what it shows in the picture.

Cheers,
Nick.

Fellow Anglophiles,
I have finally uploaded some photos for the campaign. I am working on the 1/35 Tamiya British Chieftain. I am adding the Eduard Chieftain photoetch and some bits from the On The Mark Chieftain photoetch - most of their parts are much to tiny and fiddly for my tastes!
I currently have the suspension completed and have added the engine deck screens and access handles. The handles were made from wire. A couple of shots follow:

I am also replacing the plastic tiedown 'lumps' on the side skirts with bent wire 'U's'. tedious, but they improve the look. I may use them to anchor netting, foliage, etc.

Hopefully, I will have some more updates soon.
thanks,
Stephen
