Making good progress with this one Leon! Definitely an improvement with each update. Looking at how you have the rear weathered, I would suggest adding some mud accumulation to the rear plate bottom and also the areas where mud would come off the tracks. Given how high you have mud up at the front, you would have similar (but not necessarily equally high) mud accumulation on the rear depending on how the front got that dirty. I'm assuming you would also be adding some mud/weathering to the tracks to match in coming stages, right? Keep it up buddy, you're doing just fine!

Thanks Tobi,i only made one change to this.The more i looked at the top of the front hull i did not like how it was looking,so i removed a lot of the heavy mud effects.I also did a light mud wash on the tracks,so i am happy with how it looks now.I am going to call this finished and post pics in the morning.Thanks again for your suggestions.

Congrats on crossing a new frontier Leon! You'll never look at models again the same way, I guarantee it. You may even start to catch yourself ogling construction equipment when you're driving for inspiration... |

Nice finish Leon. It's always worrying sticking a load of mud on a very nicely finished model but you done and it looks great mate.
What next in the Leon production line then ?

Beautiful result Leon! Personally I like the upper hull most. Very good effect there with the removed dirt on the top.
Cheers,
Tobi
