4Bo at the ready!!
Its too late for this build but the wheels of a tank are a great way to go to town with the modulation extremes. I always aim to paint the wheels with light colours to contrast against the hull's darker colours. Use two or three different shades on reach wheel. Also highlighting rims, nuts and...- Steve Jones

Its NOT a Stug!! Tamiya 1/35 Brummbar + Easy link Ostketten tracks
Difficult to tell from the photos Bob. Looks good from here. I personally like a bit of primer showing through here and there as it adds to the faded worn out look. If your a happy bunny then I'm a happy bunny too :smiling2: :smiling5:- Steve Jones

Tiger Commander.
If it were me then the green and red brown would be chipped to the yellow colour. The yellow colour chipped to the red oxide as JR says. However it depends on how extreme you want the look to be. You may just want to leave it as is and just dirty it up a bit- Steve Jones

Help needed with a simple scratchy build, please
The ones I have made in the past have simple brackets (three in total) riveted to the pack panels. Then using two planks of wood for the support. Quite a lot of the time the crew would then add a length of track to increase the height of the boards and support more stowage. If you have a look at...- Steve Jones

Help with using a drill to clean wheels?
Hi Bob These are a set of wheels I did recently. The top right one has the tyre taken off entirely. I used the como/dremmel drill with a discus shaped drill bit and gently created the groove while turning the wheel on the end of a toothpick- Steve Jones

1/35 Bronco Bishop SPG - forum choice
A little late to the party I'm afraid Dave. Looks a wonderful kit and I like what you have done to it. I agree with the interior paintwork scheme you are going for. It doesnt make a great difference but the white the British used was gloss so you may want to add a bit of gloss varnish to the...- Steve Jones

The biggest issues with chipping fluid/hairspray chipping are threefold. Firstly your working environment. I work in a central heated study room, others in freezing cold sheds, others in the lounge etc etc and this has a large effect on paint drying times.
