The weathering is coming out very nice. It breaks up the gray very nicely.

Robert

Thanks Robert
Started weathering the top a little now with more white and less yellow oil paint.

I'm late to this thread but I have to say Peter that your Mark III is looking fantastic. Great job!
Terry

Thanks Terry
Starting on the wheels next

Very nice weathering Pete!!

Thanks John
Just doing the tools and wheels now

Can the top hatch pads be either black or brown leather ???
I am tempted to paint the Jack block a wood colour but I think I might just paint it the same colour (German grey) as the tank. Would I paint all the straps German grey as well???...are the straps leather or made of thin metal??

I was under the impression they were usually black.

As for the wood block, I guess it could get oversprayed like the tools and such do when the vehicles got repaints, but I would probably add flecks of wood showing through to simulate chips and scratches from use and abuse.

As for the straps, I think many of those were metal as leather would most likely wear out too quickly.

Thanks for the reply
I will paint the hatch pads in black

Starting work on a figure not sure if it will be for this tank

Just another figure update

The pose is just right and the painting is top notch.
