This is the first time I have worked with metal parts for a build, so I decided to try some Burnishing Fluid to get my base weathering. I looked this brand up, "AMMO MIG Jimenez...and it worked great. I like the affect and wish I would have used it before I mounted any of my brass parts. I will be using it from now on when using brass or metal parts...

Hi Mr. Bix,
Sorry I did not get much done this last week....My family took the liberty of passing around a horrible Flu bug, so needless to say I have been a sickbay commando and am still feeling like I was run over by a bus :(
Here are a couple of pics of the tidbit of work I got done....
got the two crank shaft clips mounted. Im thinking of not having the crankshaft stowed here properly, because this tank crew won't be AJ squared away.
