Thanks Boots. I used VMS binders satin FX to get the rain streaks which have come out very well.   The T34 has been primed and some parts painted and given a gloss coat. |

I've got a T-34 in white wash with no weathering, I've kept it for when I fancy testing some weathering

Thanks. The T34 has got some colour on, with some shading using dark green and flat flesh (snipersmudge’s tip). The wheels have had a gloss finish and will start on the weathering, as per the book.   |

How about this. Drought beer in a can. Nothing new, I know, Guinness have done it for years but now Asahi have a version. But how does it work?   |

Nice green on the 34 . As for the beer, well either you drank very quickly or you have been conned big time  |

No. I mean there is nothing in the can to make the beer fizz up like there is in a can of Guinness or Boddingtons. Abit of colour and made a start on weathering the hull. Top needs a gloss coat now.  |

Ah, you mean there isn't a widget in the can  . Nice weathering by the way  |

Great weathering Tommy  As for the can...........i reckon some clever machine adds a carbonated gas at the same time as pressure sealing to keep it lively......it then releases and vaporizes as the can is opened......just my hunch  |

Tommy, the T-34 really looks great! Great additions with the stowage and traction logs.

Begun the weathering on the lower hull. Oil paints and then VMS pigments. Will try some oil paints on the surface of the mud in the morning. Wheels were done with a wash made from black and brown oil paint with thinner and then oil paints on top.  |

That's looking rather grand Tommy. Great progress in such a short time.
