Nice progress Luigi. You've taken care of the part that takes the longest and the least fun. Looks good with the tracks bud.

Thanks spud and rob. Yes, it can be boring sometimes, but as soon as I got an hold on how to do it, things speeded up a lot

Looking good Luigi! The best cure for track assembly I've found is to do them a little bit at a time in sections of 10 or so and while watching TV or something similar that helps with the tedium. That way you also feel like you're making "progress" with each section completion and don't feel like you're slogging so much. As you've discovered, once you hit on a method the process tends to speed up a bit with the 2nd track.

Why worry, each of us is wearing an unlicensed nuclear accelerator on his back.

Individual working tracks are really a tedious work, progress looking good.

Thank you all Steve: Another one? Dan: thanks for the colour recipe, I stole a part of yours to paint mine. Next step will be filters to achieve some more tonal variation by using the oil dotting technique that I experimented on the firefly. But it will be no sooner than tomorrow or wednesday, as I want to be sure the base has totally cured.

Looks good Luigi no worrys about the paint recipe its nice to hear people using my ideas one thing i found that worked for me was i used my darkest shadow colour and heavily thinned it and sprayed a light coat over the whole model. I used yellow,green and blue for oils if that helps you.
keep it up dude

Thanks for the advice I think I'll also add violet and earth tones, they worked well on the Sherman.

It was filter time today, but I couldn't manage to get a decent picture of the tank. The only that vaguely resembles the risult is this: Artificial lighting and photographic incompetence are to blame...
