Added some light dust to the running gear and I'm calling 'em done:

Very nice! How many hours (approx) did it take to finish them?

Erik

I like them Keith, you have done an excellent job with that camo. You have also captured the North European dust very well, but I think the difference between the bottom and top is a little bit to stark. This may well be the pic's, as the flash will exagerate the dust and not show any subtleness you achived.
If you drapped a camonet over the front they could come straight from the German range....
Very nice

Cheers

Nice work! I can hear them roar over here!
My only addition would be a little (depending on the scale how little) drip of thinned black on the engine deck round rosters, to give it more dept / to let the roster come out more.

What scale is it?

Paul

Thanks Guys,

ERIK--I am realy not sure how many hours I put into these. I don't keep count. An hour here, ten minutes there. I have even been known to take a few minutes to paint little items like the headlights or turn signals, or cut and install antennas, on the way out the door for work in the mornings. (It's a good thing I don't have to wear a suit to work and that paint blends into the BDU pattern! ) I think I spent more time mixing the paint and adjusting the airblush flow than I did applying the camo to the kit!

If I had to hazard a guess I would say 35 hours for both(?)

HENK--Thanks. I am debating whether or not to put a much diluted pastelling over the top of the chassis. Give them a murky water, splashed look.

PAUL--I did give 'em a dark wash, but I see what ya mean. I may drop some more into those round grills, especially before the local model contest in September. (Along with Henk's idea above)

Oh, and they are 1/87th (HO) scale. From the ROCO Minitank collection. Yup, VERY small.

Thanks again for looking gentlemen!
