Hi!
It's finished some time ago Revell kit in 72 scale. I tried to make it as running through the becoming dry spring mud.

Amazing weathering on the exhaust stacks, especially for braile scale. The mud looks a bit dark for the rest of the base. The tracks suffer from this by looking melted, rather than dirty.

Nice little build Bartekk, I second the mud condition, maybe some color modulation to the mud.

Thank you for your comments

About tracks. My idea was that the mud on the base is dry from the top. But heavy beast easily dig up the fresh mud which we see on vehicle and in furrows.
I agree that tracks lost details but on photos. In real they look better.

Hi Bartekk,
Nice little vignette,I like the camo and I like the exhausts.
However, you can do some things to make your future models even better.
The mud is monotonous (one shade only) it would be better if you used several shades of pigments to achieve a more interesting look. You can check the following video.

Also the superstructure looks like it could benefit from some weathering it's in high contrast with the lower hull.
Just some constructive comments
Good luck on the next project, P.A.
