Challenger so far

Post by jeman »

Hi Guys, the Chally is STILL IN THE HOUSE lol and I'm adding bits to it. Now my dilemma is do I weather it or do I keep it clean ? I know some luv the weathering and some luv the clean look.............my gut feeling now is to keep it clean but soooooo unsure :crazy: Still have lots of detailing to do to the rear grills and stuff so I'm going to spend a few evenings to sort that out......... :haha:

Looking good.

I'm of the mind modern should be clean, maybe some diesel soot and grease marks etc.

Hi, I have the same dilemma with my M1A2. I must find a way to get rid of the overall shiny look without making it look dirty. I am thinking of doing some trials first but planning on using MIG Jimenez Sand pigments applied to the overall tank, with a little bit darker tone in the lower areas, then covered with a light coat of satin varnish to keep the pigments in place. I never did it on such large scale.
