Hi all
Have just put the finishing touches on this,its the newly released Tamiya kit, with a few additions,all the barrels were replaced with items from RB models, and the horrible vinyl kit tracks were replaced with model kasten individual links.
Painted with tamiya acrylics mixed as per instructions. First time I have used colour modulation with any success. All the weathering was done with alternating oil paint washes and coats of clear then the whole lot was given a coat of Restore dull coat.
Thanks for looking.

Nice job on that Tiran. Love the weathering. Question: Modular Paint job, What gives? To me it looks like a good paint job by usual means.

Its using different shades of the base colour to represent shadow and high lights, to be honest it doesn't show up in the photos.

Looks very nice.... "vinyl kit tracks"? Tamiya's ads are saying it comes with link-and-length tracks. Just curious.
