Looking good already fella, Zim is spot on. How do you intend to go about weathering, light or full on combat mucky?

going to be full on combat dusty, not too much mud as mines a what if, as if the tank has survived to the battle for berlin, so lots of concrete and brick dust. got an airbrush so that should make the final mist coats a lot easier. did the zim myself with milliput and a small screwdriver. worked out there is between 2500 and 3000 litle impressions. went cross eyed a bit. lol

mulliput from your local model shop. rub the surface its going on down, so you have a key. mix your milliput, using latex gloves and keeping them wet. put small peices on at a time and smooth thin with the wet gloves. once you do one side then use a terminal driver , wet it, and just work your wat up in lines imprinting the tip. only takes time. it was my first time using milliput after 30 odd years of modelling and it wasn't as bad as i thought it would be.
