If I didn't know it's a platic thingie, I'd be fooled to think it's scrap metal... You're an artist Rob

Cheers

Just a quick update. The dust coat is on and so are the tracks. The fit of the tracks is very tight but I managed to get them on and the pin in. Will start the dust, dirt and maybe mud next. It's good to be back at the bench again. Hope to have this wrapped up by the weekend, then onto the M51.

Thanks Spud and John.
It looks ok but needs some earth effects and then comes AK fuel, grease etc....the fun stuff.

It's really great. As I said before, if I didn't know that it was plastic, I'd bet it was metal. Edit: ops I had forgotten that old thread Looking forward to seeing the M51 complete, it's another stunning work

Fellas, mucho gracias. Glad your still following and like her so far. yeah Bill, pot ugly she is for sure.
nearing the finish line as far as weathering goes. might add a layer or two then call it quits. No overall piccies just yet. Once I'm somewhat happy with it I'll do the small touch ups and add the lifting hooks that popped off.

Thanks kindly for the comments fellas. James, glad your liking it dude. It would have been done already if I got to work on it every day. The tacks will get reworked and some areas touched up, will be done soon.
