Thanks my hearties!
The wooden crates were done with VMS chipping fluid. Not used it much as yet but very easy to use.

Cheers PorcoRosso. Now it is matted up a bit, I am more happy with it.
Mainly going to use the Africa Korps weathering set.

Thanks bwilt, armorguy and Boots. Now with a DAK wash and then, because I am certifiable, I went over every bolt head with the light IDF tone.   Stowage had Tamiya black panel liner, then today a sand wash.  |

Looking very nice there. Highlighting the bolt heads, I do that with most of the raised areas using a lighter tone for larger parts and then an even lighter one for the smaller ones. It looks rather other the top to start with but it’s done before the weathering which tones everything down and brings the colours together. Is it realistic, probably not, do I find it visual interesting, I certainly do.

This looks excellent, Tommy! And nice job with the stowage; you treated each piece like an individual model. |

Thanks guys. Having a problem with one of the tracks. Hopefully it is glued now.
Going to do some light chipping, especially on the fenders to show that they are aluminum.
