Hi Roo, Steve and Ralph. Thanks for your comments guys. Much appreciated.
Roo; I dont want to fully weather this just yet ... this is going into a diorama later with the
SU76M and the
Miniart vacuformed house I have almost finished. I prefer to weather all at the same time so they can be tied together and to the base with the same weathering. I tried the flat cote over pastels before, but ended up losing much of the effect. Need more practise at that trick.
Steve; PM coming in!
Ralph; Yes there were figures, but usual old tamiya quality. I might use some parts in a figure-bash, but overall detail was soft and heavy seem lines. Poses were good though, so with some TLC, they are usuable!
Tamiya olive green was used as a base, but it has been washed, drybrushed and had light filters. I dont worry about Russian green too much ... Anything goes in my opinion!
