Paint is a 50-50 mix of Tamiya Buff and Medium Gray. Oils and enamels were used for detailing.
Weathering to come.

Nice job painting the figure, unfortunately it's not right for a '67 Cent.
Wayne,
Judging by your response, (and the way you handle criticism) I'll assume you're a younger modeler. I certainly don't see where I have been mean spirited in any way. I went out of my way to pull a kit down from the stash to look up part numbers to help you out. The fact that you did not want to fix the mistake is immaterial to me, it's your model after all. However, I did point it out in case you weren't aware that you had left off a part.
I also pointed out the raised lines as you may not have known about them. I happen to have built quite a few of these Centurions, so I've got a little experience with them. Thus my interest in your particular build.
This is not the "Praise my Model and Give Me Positive Feedback" forum. It's Constructive Criticism. If you're looking for the other there are other sites that I'm sure you'll like.
Whenever I criticize someone's model, I always try to point out a good thing about it first. (This is a life skill that works no matter what the situation is) I believe I even said not one, but two nice things abot yours.
Now, as far as never having anything nice to say, I guess it depends upon whom you ask. The three people I went out of my way for this week to obtain photographs for, at my own expense, might disagree. That entailed driving to an Army base and a Marine base. That I have the time and resources to do this is fortunate. If you read my posts from earlier this week you'll even find I asked nothing in return.
When all is said and done, we're not curing cancer here. We're building models. You'll find almost everyone here wants to help others. When someone says something positive or negative about your build it is meant to encourage you. It's how we grow. How you choose to respond to criticism is up to you. Usually a simple "thank you" works well.
My response was based on several negative and snide remarks made by one person on every build I have posted recently.
There are ways to approach the subject of criticism and this person seems to be unable to reach a civilized level when dealing with my builds. He also knows darn good and well how old I am as it was prominently displayed in my profile.
I have said all that needs to be said and refuse to post here anymore.
Adios.
G
