Looks like fun Oliver.

Thanks everyone for the comments.

I just got some more work done (yay, rust!):








I forgot to prepaint the base before the dirt, so some plaster seems to have been left uncovered. I just added another layer of dirt, and will post pics of it in a min:



Thanks again everyone for your comments!

[noll]

Well, added the nex payer of dirt, as well as a boatload of pigments to the JSU:

Thanks guys . Means a lot.

I just added tam flat clear from a rattle can, but it seems to have gotten rid of the pigments. As I'm doing hs and paint soon, I'll apply the pigments again after that.

Agree with Pete, the shell impacts/penetrations look just right, looking forward to more.

Should be able to finish this up tomorrow.
