I like the chipped paint weathering... Is there a thread on the site that covers this technique?

Hi Andy,

Technically this looks like a great build, but I'm afraid it doesn't do it for me.

The figures look out of pace, great painting and would look good by them selves but their uniforms are spotless. No real soldier in the field would look like that. This is meant to represnt a tank in the desert battlefield condition, for me it's lifeless, brilliantly painted but incomplete/unfinished.

The track colour looks wrong unless it's just come out of a car wash, where's the dust and wear?

Sorry I am not trying to have a go at you, but I see lots of kits like this that folks rave over and for me it just doesn't look real. The spare track colour looks wrong there should be a deep metal sheen coming through it, there is kit everywhere that doesn't seem to relate well to the vehicle.

I know this is against the grain but I'd say it's 95% of the way to being an outstanding build but the missing 5% takes away from everything else you obviously worked hard to achieve.

I'm not saying it's not a grand build nor that parts of it are not excellently painted, but in trying to achieve a perfect model you seem to have taken you eye off the whole picture.

I mean these observations as constructive and not critical, so no offence is intended.

Thanks for sharing and at the end of the day if you are happy with it then it doesn't really matter what I think.

Cheers

Al
