I really, really like how the edges look like worn metal, how did you do that?
1:16 was my scale. Until 'Konan' came into my life... an Armortek 1:6 Tiger 1!
... Now followed by a Panther G, 'Gunther'!
I'm a happy man.

Glad your enjoying the build herr doc . And Marco Peter , I have only gone round the edges with light green so far, it just the first stage of scratches. Next I will go back round the light green with a mix of brown and gun metal , then when dry rub the edges with a pencil. I will post more pics when I get time ..Updates soon, thanks for watching.

Next was going round the light green scratches with a brown gun metal mix and painting the machine guns black . I also went over the scratches now with a oil paint rust colour wash , but very light as I don't want much rust on this tank , lots of scratches as its just been hit with over 100 rounds but not old enough to be really rusted.

Now I want to try mud effect , so I crushed most of the earth colour soft pastels in 3 different batches , to make 3 tones of mud and keeping the more rust colour pastels to make rust pigment , trying everything out first on my test VW bus , Guinea Pig Wagon. I mixed the pigments with half water and pva glue and some fine real garden dirt , mixed together and dab on. I don't want it to look overly muddy, like winter , more spring , summer time and its just gone through some muddy shower puddles , mostly drying out mud. It would be good to know if anybody has other methods and advise on how to do this better.

Tracks back on , and machine guns dry brushed gun metal , and I shortened the torro tow cables , although I like the schumo tow cables better, these will do for now , maybe 1 day i will treat myself .
