Sorry the camera phone pics aren't the greatest. I added touch up painting and pigments on today. I think I'll splash some tiny mud drops around and I should be about done with the 1/48 Tamiya Hetzer.

Hi Greg. Beautiful finish. Love the paiting and weathering. You captured the winter/cold effect nicely. What are your plans with this now? Its screaming out for some life ... figures/personal gear/colour contrast/etc.

Thanks guys!
This was actually a break from doing dios but maybe some other day. The TankArt books have been helpful. The whitewash has tamiya white and tamiya white mixed with deck tan. I used ak streaking grime. I actually goofed the hairspray and some of the base paint came off so some of that may have gotten mixed in the streaks as well.

I didn't do really much at all with spraying wet mud splashes. I started to and decided it would take away more then add anything. I zoomed in maybe too much on these shots or messed up the lighting, as I lost some of the scale effects in the photos. Calling it done!
