Some 'gun soot' pigments applied to the muzzle break


And some graphite rubbed over the edges for a more worn look. It's just the holes that annoy me.

Great work Marco, it's surely going to be a show stopper when you complete it

Cheers, Lee.

Only as long as my friend is not there too... He bought a 1/4 scale Panther!

There's always one isn't there Marco

Cheers, Lee.

Gun Soot pigment

Lovely work Mr Peter
I use soft pencil a lot on my tanks to simulate worn paint areas too. I must try getting graphite powder & see if it’s easier to get a better result.
What product is that gun soot ?

I use graphite pencils too, who said it was powder?
