I'm thinking splinter too tbh, but different colours, probably a mix of grays +/- black and white. Will try a few more swatches to try out options.

Nice colours and patterns mate, I'm sure whatever you choose will look awesome.

Changed the base coat to lack, courtesy of Halfords Commo range matt black. Going for black/gray splinter. Some progress picks later.

What do you think then peeps? Minimal tidying up to do (it worked Mr B) so once it's all cured it will be filters followed by pinwash. Planning to keep this fairly clean so no chipping n stuff this time. Need to figure out the what and how of getting colour on the slat without it looking like a Friday night in Chip alley.  |

I'm amazed at how that viewing angle makes the turret disappearš³

What turret ? I had the something similar on my Leo Revolution, I left the gun cover between the commander and loaders hatches and took a pic without noticing it was laying there   |
