The K-Mart Special!

Yep!!, and if it breaks you can be a Karen & ask for a refund

[HERMAN BIX]

Awesome result Herman, looks just life the reference! Time for a road trip!

Cheers Mr Ram, your good work is clear and evident
The entire thing has to be blended in with a bit of filtering & pigment dust but the idea is now visible & seems to work.

Had a bit of a break yesterday as the Girls had the end of year dance studio concert at the Jupiters Casino Theatre.
Was an epic 4 hour long endurance test of blood circulation and fatigue combat, with bits of "pay-attention-those ones are yours " interspersed !!
Made it through

Today is more stowage and the dreaded but obvious turquoise sacks all over it. I have the gist of the rest of the stowage elements, but the sacks a bit hairy
The colour is near enough, and once dry I intend to fill them with some polyester fill or suchlike , just to add volume. Then a wash or filter.
Attaching them is the next challenge, as the lashing points have rabidly filled up, but with a bit of thread-the-needle I reckon I'll get er.
This is the fun bit for me, the adding of roughness!
Roping off the rear stowage is going to test my patience, but there was no real way of pre running the tie off material until I had the stuff in place.
Such is life and as I write this Im watching a bit of video footage from the Ukraine conflict...............I have zero problems in my like to tie off plastic on a model relative to what others have to endure !! I promise not to sook about how hard it is to run thread and tie knots in it

Good Evening, Herman!
Looks like a Village on the Go! You really captured the look of one these tanks from the Local Wars down in Africa. Looking forward to the weathering!
regards,
Painless

Cheers Mr Wolf, I seem to have a penchant for roughies eh!
The basic weathring is done on the tank, so blending in and toning down the stowage is next.
Instead of a wash my intent is a filter so as not to overpower the finish, and of course pigments.

This is a piece of art, my friend. Sincerely. I have a soft spot for third world tanks (obviously), and this is just... fantastic.

After a few light filters with Mig 1510 Tan for 3-tone camo , its toned down quite well.
Seems to have blended together and looks right when compared to the subject pictures.
Small arms , pigments and the crew figure next, then its wrapped up

Looking great Herman!

Not keen on the blue chairs but it all adds to the look!
