Thank you. Later tonight I’ll put on the rest of the parts. Not sure what rout I’ll go from here as far as weathering battle damage and so on

So here is the lastest so far, My set up from last ight and this morning. I hand painted the details. Added the black again for the wheels and metalic silver and gray paint for the tools. Painted the commander, a bit difficult to paint the commander as well as pealing off the stickers

the stickers were being stubborn. I also added some Tamiya weathering copper color to the exhaust and some shaved pensil lead on the muzzle break and around the fenders for some light dirt and gun powder effect. Also added some small chaines on the fron and back. May add some more accessories but I dont think I will add any battle damage like I did with my Tiger 1. What do you guys think my next move should be? im not sure what else.

Mr Fox I like it, sometimes you just don't want to overwhelm the model with stowage and battle damage. Been there done that.
Not sure if you have any experience with washes, very thinned out paint that can accentuate the models fine details.
You can apply it around bolts and nuts and panel lines.
Remember to have fun, and if you make a decision that you later want to change, simply change it.
