Pushing on towards the finish, getting down and muddy. I found some mig products I forgot I'd ordered thought I'd test them out. Pleased with the results on the wheels, I think my multi part might set from ammo (these come pre mixed) gives better texture on hull mud build up on previous however overall I'm ok with how they've worked on the fenders. All that remains now is to refit the running gear, and add and paint the commanders hatch and hull ventilator. I'm toying with adding vampire sites for the commander, drive and gunner but we will see. ImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImage

Nice result on the weathering. The mig products are useful for sure. But the premixed acrylic stuff? I guess you are better of not to use that. It might be a bit tougher, but the enamel products are much more convenient in blending etc.

The stuff I usually use consists separate plaster of Paris, acrylic resin, pigment and sometimes an oil paint component.

The premise stuff doesn't quite have the texture, however in theory I could add more plaster. Something worth considering on other builds

Have you tried sieved garden soil already? I would say it adds more natural texture when compared to the premixed products. At our scale it looks really good.

I think we can safely say say that you have made this model what it was always meant to be, it is going to be a one of a kind model of perfection. Love it! :thumbup:

My shapeways vampire units finally came, had to do some modifications to fit the E90 but I'm pleased so far. Just primed to see the detail better, they will be duklegelb with blue lensesImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImage
