Nice, so what you have done is add chipping and then rust effects with a piece of sponge?

Nothing wrong with a nice bit of chipping Aaron! I like the use of the tinsel & I'll even forget that German optics were a green tinge!

I blame the box art.

Chips done with the sponge Joe, black and brown acrylic. The streaks are Ak Enamel.

Optics corrected. Thanks for pointing that out Patrick, much appreciated.

I got some pigments and sifted dirt on and the tracks. The tracks fought me all the way, I should have used pins all the way down.

Just caught up with this. Cant be said in single words so..

This is bloody awesome! I can't begin to believe that this is 1/72nd scale.

Love the colour, the camo, the chipping, rust and dirt. Great work!
