Nicely done!

Tom

Thanks for sharing. I really like the way you built and painted this one.

Thanks, guys! I appreciate the comments!

Fantastic work! Love the weathering

great build and nice paint job.

Thanks guys! That's very kind!

Nice job, well done! Which kit did you use, and if I may also ask, what color/brand of paint did you use?

The kit is a Meng kit with aftermarket brass Hotchkiss guns. The paints were all Vallejo, which the manual suggests. The only thing I do for every model is, if the base color is on the darker side, cut it with Vallejo ivory sand to what looks good to me. So in this case, the base colour was Vallejo green brown with ivory sand to lighten it. Oils used were Windsor and Newton oils (burnt umber and mauve) pigments were the original MIG dry mud, dark mud, and this dark earth mud effects paste they have now (first time using it). Tamiya gun metal for the tracks.

Thank you for that very thorough description, I'm almost finished with mine, and I really like the color you achieved. I'm going to give your formula a try!

Let me know how it turns out! Post pics if you can. I didn't mix a definite ratio of light and dark, just according to preference.
