discussion My first ever build. Wish me luck!

Thanks for the comments guys.
I have done quite a bit more on the model now. Not really had much time lately, but will post the pics up when I get a spare minute. I'm really enjoying it and I'm happy considering it's the first one. Been researching different techniques over the last few days as this first model only stretches from a bit of pre shading to mud splatter. Any ideas which techniques I should look into with more detail?

Hi Paul,


Glad you are seeing some progress and enjoying it............ Mud is always a good one .......... and a bit of rust here and there......

Hey Paul, dark washing and dry brushing will bring out all those nooks and crannies, it's a bit of a process but once you got it down pat there will be no stopping you! Look up my "Duster AASPG" in completed armored vehicles. in the thread you will find a short but to the point tutorial on the subject which I think you will find informative
