James,pics are tough to see,but the camo looks good and I like your mud techniques,is that the AK stuff ? must it be mixed ?
I would only say that since you have mud on the lower chassis,perhaps there should be some on the insde and outside of the rims and the underside of the fenders ?

When it comes to mud on a vehicle, don't forget the tires. The camo looks fine. What brand kit is that?

That's sharp enough to see that the camo really looks great. Using a brush and Lifecolors, did you have to apply multiple color coats? Any issues with color build-up at the edges of different colors?

Last picture is by far the best of the lot. Nice work on the camo paint scheme. Looking forward to seeing the finished model on it's base.

thanks guys! last pictue was taken with a Real camera not my phone! damn i hate using the phone camera, my olympus has been KIA so im stuck really.
Russel, 2-3 coats, no pooling or anything and the edges i payed close attention to so as not to get the raised lines, i would just say keep the paint thin ish. and youll be fine! haha
i usually use tamiya, but i had ran out of the colours i wanted to use. ! sounds about right eh!

Another big difference is that you have a window with strong sun light in your background for all the other photos. Its almost impossible to get good photos like this, even with a top camera. Always have the sun at you back ... or at least, not behind whatever you are photographing.
The BA64 looks good ... good hard lined camo. Will you add a base and/or figures?
