My inspiration for the camo:

It ended up being a mix of these two, pattern-wise more like the lower one but not such a hard edge.

I wanted to work on the wood block

More grain in the wood

I re-blued the metal bands, the one on the right is 'after'

Are you leaving the barrel like that? Is it supposed to represent the replacement barrels?

I still haven't decided. It seemed like a good idea, and I once built a 1:16 Panther like that and it was a nice touch, but on this larger scale it seems a bit... boring?

New set of tracks!

On the far right very, very nice spare tracks. See this topic for details on those and an extensive guide ho I weathered those:

I LOVE how these turned out, but... the track hangers are wider than these track-openings!
So I thinned the lower part down

Fits!
