@Shawn: The mud looks really convincing! Care to share any details on how you did it?
@Dustin: Cool camo job! Looking forward to more of this.

Thank you all for the compliments. Cristian, I used a combination of products from AK Interactive and Ammo of Mig. I used the Ammo of Mig Dry Steppe to get the base texture - stippled it and used the airbrush to get some splashes. AK Interactive Landing Gear Dust Effects for light dusting in surrounding areas, and then Brown Earth Deposits for the darker soil.
I used multiple applications of the products and used White Spirit to spread it around and blend.

Ok fellas, I'm calling this Jagdtiger done. I spray some mud/dust on the lower hull. Never done this before, but after talking with a fellow member, on how he does that, I gave it a try. Not nearly as nice as his, but it's a start. I also added some pigments to the tracks.
Thanks for looking.








Cheers,
Dustin

I finished up the Panther F the other day. The L/100 barrel is pretty obnoxious, but I love the lines of the Panther.

Looks killer Shawn!

Love your weathering job, Shawn, look great! I wonder how many times on the real thing that the barrel was more a hindrance than a help...;-)

Has whoever did that box cover even seen a cat? That is not a cat's head by any stretch. Looks more like a rat.

At only nine parts (the body halves, haunches, a 2-part head, ears, and tail) the feral cat assembled quickly.

The kit was designed with a twist-on head that could be swapped with a companion piece (a Saber Tooth Rabbit no less!), but this feature left an obvious seam at the neck. I cemented everything in place and faired in the gaps with Milliput two-part epoxy putty.
There was a little putty left after filling the cat’s joints, so I used it to make an extra artifact to place inside the nasty cat’s cage for additional “atmosphere”:
