So folks, been a while since I was on here , got a lot of reading to do I se. But I have been working a little something. I picked up a 1/16 scale rc KV2 some time ago,and set about transforming it back to a green monster again. The captured German was cool, but I wanted a real green mean machine, so the first task was to sand of as much of the old withe Wash I could. ![](http://imageshack.us/a/img832/7527/5va8.jpg) ![](http://imageshack.us/a/img15/8893/81gd.jpg) Also the coupla needed to be changed. A few 1/16 shops has a resin part for that. ![](http://imageshack.us/a/img17/4268/ngbj.jpg) I broke out the AK primer(this primer is growing on me the more I use it) to get a feel for how the turret would look like. ![](http://imageshack.us/a/img703/6420/d4g5.jpg) ![](http://imageshack.us/a/img27/9493/0p1g.jpg) ![](http://imageshack.us/a/img560/3945/i5ty.jpg)

Loading the brush With a little amount of AK fresh mud and 'pulling the trigger' ![](http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/844/al7l.jpg) ![](http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/834/3nnx.jpg) On the hull it self I was not 100% happy With how all the splash's came out, so With a big soft brush I 'wiped ' it to remove some, and With Vallejo russian green+ some of the light greens from the AK 4BO set I gently added a few spots here and ther with my airbrush to cover some of the overly done splashing on the side of the hull ![](http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/401/616u.jpg)

Thanks for stopping by. Well last night I got around to try making tarp the 'John Tolcher ' way. got some tea bags and glued it Down to a sprue. Not quite Tholcer Q over it yet, but much better than my first atempt with water and Wood glue and napkins The air type vallejo was to thin , but With ordinary I got the rubber like finish.Once dry I will play With some pigments for that dusty look. ![](http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/585/k5o8.jpg) ![](http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/41/fuox.jpg) ![](http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/838/kz84.jpg) ![](http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/31/1epe.jpg) ![](http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/42/u5lm.jpg)
