I just posted some in -progress photos of my OIF M1A1 hull. I'm kinda doing this like a figure. I want to complete the hull for the most part before I move onto the turret (like painting a face and then moving onto the uniform). I did this because of the side plates. I figured I needed to complete the running gear and tracks so I could add the side plates. So I just kept going with the painting.

I'll weather the vehicle all at once when it is completed. I hope the photos are clear enough to see the added detail. This is my first go at this and my camera is not made for close-ups.

I tried to explain in each photo caption what details I added. This is in my gallery.
