Hi Christophe,

Excellent work, the gun looks terrific. These were certainly a serious piece of hardware.

Cheers.

Wow!! Excellent piece! Can you explain your weathering a bit?

Thanks!

For sure, Rob!

- I used "interior green" (vallejo air) and "duck egg green" for the highlights, with an airbrush
- Chipping with a brush and a sponge. (very light green and brown)
- AK "streaking grime for green vehicules" to give more depht and signs of weathering, with a flat brush.
- First layer of pigments ("european earth") fixed with "pigment fixer"
- Second layer of pigments ("gulf war sand", "light earth", "concrete") fixed with thinner and removed the excess


So easy!

That's one nasty piece of business. No wonder life was hell on the Western Front. Good job!

Since you have the ammo, a fire base sounds like the next step?
