Thanks guys! more pics soon, I have just added some more welds, and I am currently experimenting with the paint, but not happy yet, and my air brush is not giving a sharp enough lines so I will keep trying as I don't want to do the camo with a brush and get hard lines.

Some update pics for you guys, fairly pleased with it so far, but needs more work, but I think I have achieved a grubby look :) I have been experimenting with a mud effect, and discovered that tilie grout/adhesive works well, don't know if anyone has already discovered this but if not its a good tip and worth a try :)
Anyway let me know what you think.
