Hi all, created this from a picture I found in a book. I know the tracks are pointing in different directions so that has be fixed.... also the weathering is still going on at the min got a dust layer to add and then blend it all together. Anyway.... any questions and comments are welcome.

(Sorry for the bad photos)

That looks great! My only CC is that you should fill the gaps around where the front, light guards join the hull. Oh, and it's just MHO that the crew appear a bit yellow. Is the weathering, on the turred stippled on?

Thanks Matt, I agree with the light guards..... something I overlooked...... to excited to get some paint on it.lol The crew are a not so yellow in real life I think it was the lighting. The weathering on the turret is mainly done with a sponge or two, a rough one and a smoother one by building up the colour. Sand base, then green and then a very faint steelish shade after that it was streaking with model air sand and wipe off with a sponge.

really nice job on your chipping and weathering

Thanks Anthony, I am playing with idea of creating a blog based on the weathering techniques I use, e.g. chipping, streaking with model air paints, graphite powder and the like. All of which would be a very simple and easy to use format of step by steps with plenty of pics and a rate that would allow fellow modellers to follow along with their projects. (EDIT) Forgot to say it would probably be on this site as well as an external blogging site.(EDIT)
