Here is my progress for today. The straps on the cam net will be painted later. Any advice on the mud effect? I've used plaster and acrylic paint (buff and red brown) diluted with Tamiya thiner. Should I scratch some crates or keep it simple?
Thanks for your feedback!

Yes I did Thanks for the nice word! coming from you i'm proud 
I've used cheez cloth for the net, cardboard for the ``leafs`` and thin metal from a cork cover on a wine bottle for the straps. Your info on diluted glue really helped me to get it form on the hull, I was strugling with this for a while.
Thanks for looking and comments

I must thank gary for his oilfadeing technique. It'll be better with practice and time.
Wich colour should I use for chipping? Lighter green or rust or both?
Is it better to oil drybrush before chipping?

Hey Phil,
its really hard to tell in your pics how well the fadeing/streaking turned out. however you can tell some difference between the clear coated and flat coated pics. i can see some subtle color variations after your fadeing so your on the right track IMO. like i said it takes time and practice but looks that your well on your way. chipping is just personel preference. some use black, brown, dark grey, black/brown mix dark rust, it realy depend on your taste. you can definately use a lighter shade of the base color to hightlite your chipping. im not sure what you mean oil drybrush? overall your curchhill looks really good man! and im a little jealous of your camo netting. yours makes mine look pretty amateur! 
nice job Phil. looking forward to your progress man!

I meant: should I drybrush first or chip first?
I did some chipping but it went south...
If I cant post a pic (I'm having problem with this today) you will see the damage. Really need your advice on that error.Thanks for the cam net! I've used your tip: diluted white glue really gave it its heavy look and formed it on the hull.
Nop! cant upload photos, there a strange loop.. are you havig the same problem?

Repaired the damage I did with my chipping madness!
This is a all first kit for me: first modification, first filters and oilfadeing and it will be also first pigments if they arrive in due time.
So how am I doing so far? what should I improve first?

Hi Phil,
when i use pigments for "dusting" i start out gradualy or being subtle with it. you can gradualy build up the effect you want instead of going overboard or all at once. i also use my airbrush for "dusting' useing highly dilluted paint like tamiya buff or deck tan. if you will go up by my picture and click on my photos go to page 2 or 3 and see some examples of dusting. the T-34 was done with oil fadeing, pigments, and airbrush dusting. most of the rest of the models you see there i use pigments for tracks and running gear only. dusting was done mainly with airbrush. they all recived an oil fadeing treatment either subtley or liberally. i think youll be able to tell the difference between T-34 and the others. but its all about personel preference. im not a big "mud" type guy unless im going to do a diorama that requires it. anyways, im rambling on again!

This morning I was in a scratching mood so I've build a small stowage crate to give a little personality to the tank crew. So I got the plastruct styrene 0.5 and started what was suppose to be an ammo box.
It rapidly changed when I saw the 1/35 wine bottle that I had put asside for a while, not knowing when I would use them.
A jolly crew that is!
I'll spray a clear and get some wheatering before setting it up.

Fixed the scavenger crate on the churchill then secured it with rope from a Soleil Royal kit from heller that I bought.
The rope is colored with coffee (let the rope in a mug for a night) The result is intersting, not as dark as I imagine but close to an old hemp rope. Take a look.
Ok now it's true: Next step dusting!! I hope I don't miss it since I never done spay dusting... I'll keep you guys posted.
Thanks for your time and comments.

Hey Phil,
that is a real fine job on the crate and bottles, heck it all looks good. great job!
as far as airbrush dusting, its not something to rush into if your not comfortable with it. take your time, practice before you commit to something like that. but if your confident then by all means, go for it!

Gary[/quote]
For example I used paper (like the one used for grocerie bag)
for the tarp on the wine bottle crate. Should I use something else that would look even closer to textile at this scale?
Sorry for my poor choosing of words. I get mixed up translating my tought into a second language
thank you
Phil.
