Gary thanks for looking in and the kind words .Hope your move went well.

Hey Leon, Its been a long tuff journey so far. The hard part is done, just unpacking stuff now. Wanna get more bench time but sis keeps me busy movin stuff about and hanging pictures and the like. We'll be sorted soon enough.

[Leon]

Gary,glad to hear all went well on the move .I'll be waiting when you get back to the bench.

Afternoon all,just got the base coat on the M60.Will post pics when shes dry.

Thanks for looking.

[Leon]

Ok fellas got the base coat on.I wanted to paint it Tamiya buff but that was a no go.Not available in rattle can so i painted it with MM Modern desert sand.IMHO i think it looks really good.Camo and detail painting to come next.Hope you like it.











Thanks for looking,and always ACW.

Evening guys.I need you help on a paint color.These are two ref photos of camo schemes i like.In the 1st pic i'm not sure what the shade of brown or green is.In  the 2nd pic not sure of the shade of brown.It's to light for NATO brown.If you have any suggestions or thoughts on the color i sure would appreciate it.

[Leon]

Dicky,thanks mate .That is a big help .Going to have a look at the LC MERDC set
