Jelger, thank you for the comment. About the weathering on the exhaust covers:

1. Lifecolor UA701 base.
2. Heavy chipping base.
3. Base tank colour and camo.
4. Make scratches using hard brush -> lifecolor base appeared.
5. Sponge technique -> lifecolor paint was added (middle amount)
6. Sponge technique -> lifecolor paint was added (very small amount)
7. "Wash Light Rust" from AK -> paint like as using filter in different places on the cover.
8. Making rains using "Rust Streaks Effects" from AK.



I hope, the description will help you.

Mateusz, really nice work on the exhausts and all the painting generally.

Teloxys aristata - I see this is what is commonly known as sea foam...I hadn't realised that the stem and foliage is all part of the plant, though I think this has had leaves added to it. It looks nice, though the trunk is maybe a little slim for such a tall tree. The tank is around 2.7 metres tall. Maybe the tree trunk could be made a little fatter?

Can you share a few tips on your figure painting technique? Those guys look great!

Love the look of this B-1 Matejson, Is it the pictures, the barrel looks slightly skewed in relation to the turret?

Thanks for the link to the finished dio, I'd missed that - very impressive stuff!!!

Got some good comments on that thread too which just seems to show how few modellers on here bother to look at "braille" postings, makes posting in here rather lonely at times lol

cheers
