Now that is a tank that has been driven and lived in. Is there anything such as a "showroom new" tank? If I may? Something that may give the mud some more "depth", is on the areas where it is the thinnest (i.e. the upper border of the mud line) and the peaks ( those areas that stand the most proud from the surface of the tank), a light dry brushing of a lighter color to represent those areas that are starting to dry. Just my 2¢....that's all. Your camo colors look fantastic with the wash. Mighty fine work here. Dave |
