Looks pretty nice. I think the photography doesn't do justice to the wash. It appears to be blended and understated IMHO. Also, the base cololr seems to be a little "red" to me, other than the rear Schurzen. I think you would be better served by taking away the stark white background and diffusing the lighting a little. Nice construction.

I think it looks very Nice!!!

You have put it together beautifully and the weathering is just right.

The only thing that I miss about it is a little more depth which you
could achieve with a few washes and perhaps some highlights...

Other than that it's perfect!!!

Good Job!

Looks great! Very good job on the camouflage.

One small comment: Maybe there too many scratches in the paint job? - unless it has been doing some heavy fighting in ruined cities. Considering the scale these are significant scratches.

Overall a very good job with nice details and nice subtle weathering.

Thanks for sharing

Hello,
thank you for your comments! I appreciate it very much. Now some replies to your suggestions.
About washes and drybrushing, you are in a way right that model needs some depth. I don't have enough skills to create those realistically so now I left those out. For next model I certainly will try out something.
Scratches, yes, too evenly and some of way too heavy! This is something that you should have some kind of algorithm for it You either apply too few or too many and always too evenly. Well, next one will certainly have smaller and fewer scratches.
Crockett, I take your comments about lighting and background seriously as I'm just learning photographing as well.

Thanks again

Niko
