Very cool weathering. The drybrushing, "dirt" and "grime" is great. Finish it off, its going well.

Good job so far Kenaz...the camo looks very nice and the weathering is well on its way... Where'd the guy go that got his dirty feet all over your kit?? :-) You should make one look like he slipped a bit cause those vehicles really are slippery...I almost took a flip off a panther when trying to climb up the front once..so show some slipping . Great idea but you got to show us where he went or add a figure to the last two prints..lol.. Keep up the good work .

I love the camo and washes on the tank so far. I have a couple of small nits.
The footprints on the front look pretty artificial - I'm just thinking of this from how the person got there. If they boosted themselves up, there should be an accumulation of mud in the front. If they continue to walk up the glacis with muddy boots, then I'd think that they're pretty slippery and that they'd brace each foot carefully, so you'd have the ball of one foot on the upper edge of the transmission cover, and not have the heel / ball straddle the lower edge as in the photo. Additional steps would also be braced instead of continuing in a straight line. Just my opinions (you get what you pay for) on "how they got there"
