That Ferdy looks great. I'm not sure how you did it, but in my eyes the wheels look like they are the real deal. The weathering IMO is spot on. Not to much, and well thought out as to wear and tear on the real vehicle.

More more more!

Hi Wayne,

I used tamiya acrylics for camo paint spayed with an Iwata Eclipse HP-CS. tools and cables were done with Vallejo acrylics. washes, filter & pigments were all done useing mig products. streaks were made with windsor&newton oils. thanks for the kind words gentlemen.

Gary,

That's a fabulous Ferdinand!

Muted camo colours and very restrained weathering - the real ones did not (normally) last long enough to get bashed-up / heavily weathered did they.

I love everything about it and this is one of the best I have seen.

Well done mate!
