That. Is. Nice.
Roosevelt .... 'It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena... and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly.'

Amazing detail work. Looks so real. Like a museum piece. What paints and methods were used?

Hi Mikeh
First of all I have to say that I do not own any air brush equipment.
What paint and method ? Basically the normal Tamiya acrylic paint 'Olive Darb' and 'Nato brown'. Also a set of oil based colours for the washing and artist crayon in different colors for the dirt, dust and rust. For washing I have used black oil colour and turpentine. The consistency is like strong black coffee and use a flexible thick paint brush to apply it. For the highlighting I have used simple white oil colour. Then dirt ,dust and rust applied with a short haired hard paintbrush. The last step is to cover the complete tank with 'Gunze Top Coat' acrylic clear matt paint in a aerosol can. Below you find four links which demonstrate the basic techniques which I use.
