Hey guys,

So I started weathering, and totally forgot to take pics as I went. Doh!

I started with applying the decals then followed with a tan filter to start tying the camo together. After a gloss cost I went over everything with a very thin wash of starship filth to try to make the Zimmerit pop out a bit.

The tracks and tools were giving a thin wash of black acrylic ink which was partially wiped off before it dried.

I did some chipping on the flat surfaces with a sponge and went at the exhaust with pigments.

I've been carrying on with the weathering by applying various streaking grimes to the vertical and horizontal surfaces. I also went over some of the handles and protruding bits with a dry brushing of metal pigments.

I've also applied mud to the lower half of the hull. I tried a new technique which is supposed to represent dry mud that has washed downward. I think it worked.

Bob,
Looks the Bomb...good to see you got the Zim down on the lower hull. A common omission on panther builds.
Cheers,
Rick H.

Bob .
:thumb2::thumb2::thumb2: Tops mate. How on earth did you get those no's on the zim ?
I think the weathering looks good, too easy as I know to over do it, that looks fine. Tools,nice texture on that jack, the bolts really pop with the wash, was that Indian ink as well?
