This looks 1000 times better. I am unfamiliar with the Das Werk polishing compound, the effect from it looks great.

Your finalized painting of the camo came out spectacular. The subsequent wash really starts to enhance it nicely. That polish really gives a sense of realism on the drive and aheels. Terrific work so far Chad.

That is a super weathering technique! Looks naturally worn though to the metal finish

Glad you had the camo redone because it really look great now!!! Nice touch on the sprockets by the way!

That is some really well done chipping Chad. To me, it looks you nailed that realm of not too much and not too little. You have what looks about right. Very nicely done.

Each step you're taking in the weathering process just brings this puppy more and more to life Chad. Excellent work so far.

I've never tried the Das Werk stuff before. Looks like you got great results from it Chad. I reckon I ought to try to find me some to try out.

Well, I’m calling this one finished. Lots of lessons learned here that are written in my build notes, which will get stored on OneNote. Later this week, I’ll post completed pics in the finished forum. Next up is a simple Tiger I. No camo. No zimmerit. Just a nice relaxing build. Thanks for following! 🍻   |

Oh the autumn leaves are a great touch! Do you glue those in place so they don't get knocked off accidentally?

Lovely finish especially the ZImmerit! I think you should include Zimmerit in ALL of your future builds because you are the master at it now.  Very nice touch adding leaves too. I am looking forward to follow your next build Tiger which is one of my favorites. |

This really came out nice, the leaves are a great addition and really bring some life to it. The final camo looks perfect...good save.

Missed the ending to this. Incredible finish as others have stated. Great work on it throughout. That zim was awesome too.

What I'm seeing in the last two shots you shared here are pretty dang impressive already Chad. I'm really looking forward to seeing the rest of the finished shots of this beauty. Thank you for sharing your techniques with us along the way and I had a complete blast in following this one. AND......this build went well for you with no major / traumatic issues. lol |
