The turret is nearly built. I removed the soft detailed molded on holders for the gun mantlet cover and scratched them in order to add a bit more crispiness to this golden oldie. The grab handles of the hatches will be replaced by metal wire.   |

Thank you fellas. Today the turret was airbrushed with two shades of rust brown. I added a few drops of Tamiya clear to the dark and light browns.  |

Marco! Thanks, how are you brotha? Tommygunn, thank you. Paul, thanks, it's a start and I'm happy with 'grand'.  Ian, thank you. Steve, thank you my friend. You're most welcome. Boots, thanks ! It's the start of a battery of rustification. Today I battled on and after another coat of Tamiya Gloss Clear. I mixed three shades of green diluted with water and made enough for the whole tank. The turret was sprayed with hairspray applied by the airbrush pistol to avoid uncontrolled...sprayerizings. I then dropped salt in the fresh hairspray. The darkest green was applied, then de mid shade and the lightest. I want worn paint with sun bleached effects. Once the paint was dry I removed the salt with a toothpick and a rough brush. The result was then sealed with Tamiya Gloss Clear. Now the turret is ready for stage 3. The three greens I prepared for this step.  Picking away the salt...no rushing, it's reeeeeeeeelaxiiiiiiing.   Tomorrow the next step. This is where I'm at.   |
