So far, top notch weathering, love it! Ruck On, Bby!

[kaktus]

Thanks! Some basic work for the base is also started. Its been a looong time since I have done any groundwork. Have bought a lot supplies still.

[deafpanzer]

SWEET!!! It is looking good... glad we have totally same taste! LOL

[kaktus]

Some stains.

Hey, I don't want to get in any trouble about this. 

[Steve Zuleski]

The close-up pics show really well the time and effort in chipping each and every location on this rig without overdoing it or making it look unrealistic. It's not always easy to stay focused and not lose patience in the process. Now that is what I call, craftsmanship!

Ruck On, Bby!

[handiabled]

Base looks great so far! The layers of weathering and grime on this have been done in spectacular fashion

[moparmadness]

Beautiful close ups!

[kaktus]

Started to paint some basic colors to base. I will post more pictures when it has something interesting to show. I needed to test how it will look with kv in place, quite ok in my opinion. What do you think?

[deafpanzer]

Excellent! Can’t see anything that needs an improvement.

[kaktus]

Allright, first cast with resin water is done. No turning back now . Hull still needs a bit more weathering and details, but I just had to get this stage done.

[406 Silverado]

Man this is PERFECT!! You put such finesse into your modeling Jukka. Water/ mud effects are over the top good and that turret looks fabulous on top of that chassis in the prior post. You've definitely got it going on in the realism department. WOW!!!

[deafpanzer]

You nailed with the brown muddy water!!! Looking real good buddy!

[stikpusher]

Beautiful work! That puddle sure does look the part and really gives the impression of the tank stuck in the muck.

[kaktus]

Thank you! I was a little nervous to go and see how the resin is cured, or is it. It was! No problems at all. 

Next I will focus on all the rubbish that is left on site.

Speechless

[kaktus]

I just had to take a little motivation shot of the arrangement. Starts to look recognizable. Tail light is now painted. 

[kaktus]

Let's add some color! 

[handiabled]

Every addition you make this just gets better and better. Amazing work sir!

[lyle]

This is really a neat dio.

[kaktus]

Glued turret in place and made some slight waves to water surface. Gives a little more realism that being completely still. Used ak water effects gel here.

[kyledehart5]

How very cool this is!! The waves are a nreally nice touch.

[kaktus]

Thanks! Painted a couple of spare tracks.

[handiabled]

You have a wonderful weathering technique. That spare track piece looks amazing
