This is looking amazing now Tommy, just the right amount of wear and weathering.

Worked on the tracks and the bogeys today. First VMS zero pigment on the bogeys. Then abteilung industrial earth oil on the moving parts added with a toothpick. For the tracks oils, light mud, earth then dark earth. Used a dry brush to spread the oils. Turned out very effective.  |

Cheers PorcoRosso. Also used the oils to weather the engine block, but not too much.
