WOW Pete,that looks great.Love the camo and markings.

[deafpanzer]

Catching up as I have missed few updates. Camo looks great... can't wait to see dirt & dust on it next!

[robbo]

Cor that's looking rather splendid, certainly moving this one along very nicely too. Quiet a basic looking tank but one that sort of looks good in it's basic look

Cheers guys, well I've been farting around with the weathering over the last few days using a mixture of MIG, AK and true earth washes and filters plus some chipping with vallejo colours. Today I stated on the lower hull with a blast of tamiya earth and buff then painted the tracks with Vallejo panzer aces track primer then picked out the inner track pads with dark rubber.













so far it's coming along nicely, I just have a couple of filters to add then it's matt time and pigments.

nice job on the weathering and tracks there Pete.

[wbill76]

Nice progress Pete! Love the subtle weathering and those tracks look very nice as well.

Dicky, Paul you will not be disappointed the kit is an absolute gem.

Thanks guys for your support, more now and I have added some streaking effects using bizarrely enough AK streaking grime and rain marks! So today it's matt coat time and finishing off the tracks.

[deafpanzer]

Dig the streaks!!! Great weathering job! Are you in Minnesota yet?

[bigjohn]

The streaking grime and rain marks really take it up another notch! Look great Pete.

Cheers guys, this is the first time I've used these particular products and I am impressed with them. Andy, not yet mate, I don't get to Minneapolis until the last week of September. However seats are booked with Delta and a trip to a model shop is also on the cards!

Great work on the 90 buddy the weathering is looking awesome all i needs is a light dust pigment wash round the details and some water marks and i would call it done you have made a great model there buddy

Nice addition with the streaking effects there Dan, very nice.

[Deleted]

thanks chaps, weathering's going well and the lower hull is finished, just finished nights so off to bed then some pictures will be up later today

[Leon]

Agree with the guys Pete,very nice job on the weathering and streaking.

[armorguy]

I like what I see ! Mighty fine job so far Pete. The grenades look 1/1 scale ! The camo is a work of art.

[Deleted]

Thanks guys, here's the hull all finished up. I used a combination of MIG & AK pigments both wet and dry then used a brush loaded with wet pigment and flicked it along the lower hull for mud spatters. Metallic elements have also been added as well as all the vision blocks using metallic party scatter.















The turret has not had it's dose of pigments yet but everything else bar a couple of bits of stowage has been done on it,





Still a long way from finishing this though as I still have the figure, extra rounds and boxes and base to do yet.

[bbd468]

Bloody outstanding build Pete! Luv your weathering.

[Leon]

Excellent work Pete.Great mud splatter effect.

[armorguy]

I enjoy this modern beast project, killer work my friend !

[rbaer]

Dang, that's nice.
The Type 90 is pretty sleek looking, makes me think of something other than a tank. Dare I say it's pretty?

[wbill76]

Nice weathering on the hull, just enough to give it the 'been in use' look Pete! Scope faces look top notch as well.

[bigjohn]

Oh Man, those mud splaters look excellent Pete! Set this out in the sunlight and I'd swear it was real.
