Abe has camo!..... seeing as i dont have any moving parts for this project yet
' i am doing most the 'detailed work' so i layed down the basic Camo
i am not the best with an Air-brush in the world' infact this is the second thing i haved ever sprayed
where the pattern come from i have noooo idea? it just evolved that way' i will do some finer hand painted detail next....rust/dents scratch's etc. even tho i have no idea how to do it
anywho!
So a big bold base green to start with
add some brown
add some darker green and darker brown, and pin stripe the edges
and just dust over it with a cloud of black to tone it all down??
i like it
for a first go......it looks german in some way (dont ask me why)

been painting and sorting a few bits out on the shell like the main cannon for a start!
it looked like it been stood on' crushed' and rebuilt, 'but not very well'
so i broke it up' rebuilt filled and painted
i know the kill count lnes are painted a bit crap'
but war is hell and theres no time for nicetys
i also been trying my hand as some ware and tear marks, rust, pits, paint thining etc
its ok for a first go
also the machine gun that was mounted ontop was crap and toyish but i got me a nice detailed one to replace it with
Next will be......................dunno yet as its a 'slow burner' project at the mo i shall see what can be done till i get the mechanical parts
