I used pigments on mine, after masking. I dabbed them on dry, and then took a damp paint brush and streaked the pigments. Same results. Just like Joe's method, if you do not like the outcome, it is a simple matter of wiping off and doing again. both methods are pretty much the same.

Wow, wow, wow. Joe this is amazing!
You the man

I would never know you weren't an armour modeller, from what I have seen in this post you look like you have been doing this for years.

Looking forward to seeing it finished.

Ciao

Ah we meet again, well today I was able to get most of the parts on, there are a few little things left like the shackles in the front under the window and bolts to the armor plating. I had a few left over 1/48th come-along’s, so I added it on to the spare tire. Tonight I will be cutting out some printables that I got from Gino, Epi and Matt. The plan is to fill the back up with a ton of supply’s. I have a cool name picked out for it, ready for this….”Supply Run”

Theses first two photos I had a little fun with

















I did run into a few problems, first there was two decals that silvered despite what I prepared and secondly I made the mistake locating the unit marking on the back. They ended up crossed…oh well
