Completed the camouflage last night I'm hoping that some washes and weathering will tone it down and bring it all together

Finally starting to make some real progress now!

Have fitted metal gear boxes sorted all electronics inc 2.4 GHz system, applied the declas and started the weathering, next will be metal wheels as my attempt with plastic ones did not work.

Looks good. Only comment would be you may want to rotate the cupola round a few degrees.

Thanks for looking

Well I guess we've all heard of the fabled "striped paint" ?
Mr Ferny has discovered the equally elusive "wooden " paint !!
What an awesome finish on the tools mate.
i hope the gearbox change to steel repays you for the effort.

Hell of a job Mr Ferny.
Right down to the paint line where the guards would have been fitted during the final cam painting stage.
All credit to you.
