Evening Chaps, here’s your Sunday update. Played around with some homemade pigments and fixer. The pigment is powered chalk pastels, the fixer is W&N Matt varnish thinned 80% with their Sansodor. Dark staining is based on a famous photo of an uncamouflaged vehicle you can find on the ‘tinter net  Also used some home mix water stain solution of Citadel paint 90% thinned with Lifecolor self-levelling. I think it just needs some fine semi-Matt to pull the upper hull together + total flat Matt on the lower & running gear and last details and we’re there.   ACWAE  |

It's a funny looking barrel, but a great build!

Looks good. I like that dark stain underneath the gun. Yep, that is a darned good rendition of the back blast from those rocket propelled torpedoes it fired  |

Excellent work, particularly like the soot around the barrel. Very effective.

Cheers Chaps. Well I’m calling this one done. In fairness I’ve did that a week ago but just not had time to take pics. As this is going to my lad he didn’t want it too weathered and as close to the Warthunder version he plays as possible. Here’s the pics    Thanks for the great comments along the way |
