If you consider your build-speed to be glacial, then mine must be tectonic Looking good!

Good morning Mark, Don't worry about the glacial pace. Just enjoy the build brother. Heck, it took me just over two years to finish a Tigercat....enjoyed every minute of it. Staying tuned.

Thanks guys Basecoat on 002 by Mark Hartig, on Flickr 001 by Mark Hartig, on Flickr Not an easy surface to get an even coat on. I'll let it cure for a day before proceeding, ought to be enough time for acrylic paint Regards, Mark

It's taking forever to pinwash, a probability I was not unaware of. Pics when the next level done

Visible progress at last. Some oil filter fading, pinwash, and flatcoat 004 by Mark Hartig, on Flickr 003 by Mark Hartig, on Flickr 005 by Mark Hartig, on Flickr I'm a bit disappointed in the level of contrast, so when the flatcoat cures a bit of drybrushing will be in order methinks before I do the detail work. Sure glad the pinwash is done, I did not think it would ever end Regards, Mark

Leon I shiny coated it, allowed it to dry, and started filtering with progressively lighter green mixed with yellow. Pinwash and then flatcoat followed by yellow green drybrush. Finalized by light grey drybrushing puts it where it's at now Thug thanks but looking at your '55 kind of makes me wish I'd done one of the Ukranian camo schemes on it Bill, Wes, thanks guys I think weathering's finished 012 by Mark Hartig, on Flickr 010 by Mark Hartig, on Flickr 009 by Mark Hartig, on Flickr Really don't want to overdo it. Base being planned; will get around to dirt later Regards, Mark

The idea is way too cool!!! Saw them at a tank museum in Munster and they were awesome especially the T-72.
