Tamiya's Jumbo completely OOB. Still have to finish up the pintle .50 cal and a pine tree for the back corner that I'm not completely happy with yet.

Wow Michael
The weathering that you made in the tank was very good.
What you used to make this snow? was pretty cool too.
Congratulations for the work

Very good for the Beginner section, i like the look.
Get rid of the branch in the corner to, either do a correct tree or leave it out completely.

Thanks! I actually used the Woodland Scenics snow flakes. It's a little coarser than I'd like for 1/35, but it's a much better result than the baking soda + white glue that I tried earlier. The slushy parts are the WS snow flakes mixed in with Future.

Thanks as well - the drum was a bit of a failed experiment. I was testing out the hairspray chipping that I did on the winter whitewash on the drum, but completely neglected to Future the base rust coat on the drum, meaning I scratched away most of both layers down to the plastic. But putting some rust pigments in a patchy layer over the scratched out portions gave it an interesting effect, so I hid the worst with some melting snow and stuck it roadside
