Great weathering. And a nice model

I don't have the courage to do a white vehicle yet.
I have a lot of assembled kits, that i want to do in UN or winter ...

Thanks for your kind words guys. Must admit I never expected to see that as a feature!

I'll work on my photography for the next one

Great build and paint job Andy. It looks beautiful. Would like to see some signs of life though ... some personal items, colour contrast and figures. Its little touches like these, that will lift the model up to the next level.

Thanks for the tips, keep them coming

This was my 4th kit, and I was pretty pleased with it. Wish my photography showed the colours properly - but that's something to work on.

Perhaps I could chuck some ammo boxes etc at it. But I don't like it to look too busy

Thanks everyone for your help. As you would expect from a newbie I've asked loads of questions on here and I've always found the answer. Thank you.

I've seen loads of great stuff in campaigns and other threads. Enter them in DMOM? Why not?

oh. Nearly forgot. Thanks to Mike Renaldi for his books and help on hairspray technique. Cheers mate.

Hope you had a good Christmas

yes I'm a little drunk

Joseph, it's the Dragon III G kit. I added pe clamps, fruil winterketten, thinned the remains of the fenders, but apart from that it's standard.

Thanks for your kind words

Andy
