Very nice! I love the weathering and the worn parts. The use of these powder pigments have really let us take weathering to a more realistic look. Remember the days when we tried to do this with grinding up chalk pastels?

You did an awesome job, I hope you get to show this off at a show or something. I'll be working on a mid '70's version of this one in MASTER camo, I hope mine comes out half as good as yours did!

The painting and weathering were fantastic. They exactly matched my memories, particularly the damned red dust. You should either blog your technique or bottle it. I would eagerly look forward to either.
