I use hair spray paint chipping on this model, the result is not exactly how I wanted it to be.

Alex, great looking LAV. I like how the chipping came out. unfortunately other than dirt and mud and the occasional scratches the LAV's are pretty clean, the Sgt Major would blow a gasket if he found them heavily chipped. If you like how it turned out, that's all that matters. you've got great skills.

Awesome work, Alex! I wouldn't sweat the chipping. Build for fun. Or, call it a lesson learned.

The general effect is very nice! I feel your pain about the hairspray technique, the first time I tried it, my results weren't very good, hence now I used the sponge technique on a Tamiya M51 and the results are much more what I was looking for!

Nice job! I think this is the first one I've seen with the driver's enclosure added.
