excellent paint chipping and weathering. i dont know what afv stands for. are you putting decals on it or is it done?

looks great.

 

[geegad]

Hello jim There are two decals on this model I know when I did this version I thought what???They are on either side of the driver slitsAnd afv stands for.( armoured fighting vehicle) And thanks for the kind words jimJohn

 

[Guest]

didn't even notice them my first look. definitely used to seeing the swastika then some kind of unit markings and numbers. still looks great though.

hi john, excellent job, the weathering and chipping is superb,especially the worn paint on the floor , cheers tony

 

[geegad]

Cheers Tony you've got to love marmite Geegad

 

[yak face]

I do, but whats that got to do with this!!!?? LOL

 

[geegad]

sorry didn't explain my self I used marmite to do the worn effect And I also love the marmite to go off the subject completely with my beans on John

 

[Ian M]

What a waste of Marmite! its rarer than rocking horse do-do over here and I sure as hell am not putting it on any thing that is not going in my mouth afterwards!!!!I cant believe that Marmite is cheaper than liquid mask either.

What are the advantages of Marmite over liquid masking solution?

Ian M

 

[geegad]

Hello Ian I know but over here it's cheap and there is more marmite than dog poo poo

Anyway I find marmite comes of easy with a little warm water and it's easy to apply I find with masking fluid it can pull at the model and if you've got delicate pieces it can pull them off

Here's to the brown stuff I salute you

Cracking work on the AFV John, the weathering and muck are very well done.

When the half track is put with this excellent mini diorama it will really show it off....

Cheers,

Ron

Cheers Ron Got some more cleaning and a bit more weathering to do on the dio base and then I've got some figures to put in as well so nearly there!!!Thanks for the kind words Ron John
