Fantastic job!! I really like it
Two things - I've never seen a yellow cloth at the neck like that? What does it mean?
The TC's right arm is not resting on anything. I'd turn him a smidge to get him resting natuarlly.

Really nice weathering.

Hi, Superior modeling job! Really like those figures, esp. the faces. You do great work. What did you use for the mud mixture besides what I assume to be static grass there? Excellent!

Take care, Sgirty

Hi all!
The mud is pigments diluted in gloss varnish.

Sorry it is not static grass but some hair from my then one year old daughter...
The figures are not yet finished. Thatīs why the TCīs arm has lifted during the photo session. He will be fixed after painting is done.
The same reason is the yellow clothing at his neck. It is merely not painted at all. The tank on the other hand is already finished except for the tail light (needs a touch of red)
Thanks for your kind replies!
