Thanks Kenneth. I think the Barracuda camo is a bit out of my league.
Who dares wins 👍
By the way, I bought some Aussie paint from Mouse Armour - do you know what to thin this with?

BYG DANSK!!!
Kenneth I think the paint is Auto based enamel so I use a general purposes auto thinner. I tried Testors / Model Master enamel thinner and it doesn’t work.

Hi Kenneth
That is a very nice Danish Leopard and the figures are just perfect for the time period. I love the beard and the long hair.

Greetings fellow campaingers
I am at that stage where I am happy enough with my Challenger to call it finished
(of course once I have posted this I will spot something that needs fixing
)
The model was first primed with Humbrol 105 Matt Marine Green and then painted with a 50/50 mix of Tamiya XF-67 NATO Green and XF-51 Khaki Drab. The black camouflage pattern is Tamiya XF-69 NATO Black. The illegal add-on was painted with NATO Green with the main panels painted with a mix of NATO Green and XF-11 J.N. Green (never mind the illegality, it's the looks tha count).


Weathering was done with a mixture of Marutechnics Easy Mud and Tamiya Weathering Master “Mud”. Once I was happy with that I finished the whole lot off with a number of very, very thin coats of Tamiya XF-52 Flat Earth.






cheers
David

Thanks! while I did finish the Pershing the DSLR is already packed and on it's way to Cork with the "we go by land" half of our holliday group [and the rest of us board the plane in a few hours for 2 weeks in Inland] so pictures can wait and the vignette might make the finish as well

An update on my Aussie Leopard AS1.

Base coat of Olive Drab with some masking.
Camo applied, now to add decals and some weathering.
