Hi all!

And thanks :D , it’s been a bit of a trip!.

Here’s how I did the post shading and highlights to bring out the spots that light hits most.
It looks very stark, but this isn’t the final thing, it will look much better when I’ve applied filters and washes.

And the camo video for this below is out as soon as I get it done!

Dear All

The Abrams main painting and build is done, good god it’s taken a while!.
Hope the video helps out with your paint, or it shows you how you don’t want to do it!! :D
Thanks for putting up with this, and onto stowage and shaders, filters, pin wash etc and I have a 7.1 Abrams sound to stick into it.
Hopefully I’ve not let our American cousins down with the Abrams, still love my chief and chally more! ;)

Have a good day!

Did you find a NATO camo template for the Abrams or just wing it? Looks good.
