over past couple of months been working on a few projects. An M-123c tractor with M15a1 trailer and an early M-60. Both were pretty much in the "can" applying my weathering mix which is pretty close to being the contents of the little jar I clean my brushes in. Mix brown, black,rust and some steel into a real diluted solution. Anyway, while putting it on the M-60, the OD paint began to run with the mix a bit. hadn't given the paint 3-4 days curing time. So OH CRAP>>>wel I took a 1/4 inch brush and used it to dabble OD onto some of the areas cleared off the wash a bit from the decals and went to bed. Solutions dried and this tank looks really weathered today.. Hence oh wow. LOved the effect of my wash on the tractor trailer too...it fills in the low spots and made the tires look grand

Hey Blaster .... there are rules against haging carrots like that in front of us..... we want pictures! Cant wait to see it!
You must take some credit for experience as well. If that happened a newbie, their first thought would be to strip or dump!

love too guys if I can ever figure out how to do it. the only stuff i've ever been able to post is when I sent it to someone else to do for me. so I'll try this new system, if I can't figure it out, I'll send an email to animal and attach the photos. The only thing I have left to do is run some dull cote over it to clear up any shine I have left on the finish.
