Are we going to see some colour modulation Moni? The angular boxy shape would be good for that

Looking good so far.

Is that where you subtly change the hue or the brightness / darkness of adjacent panels?

Kinda Dougie - it's imagining there's a light source & fading the paint accordingly. Usually from the edge of of a panel toward the back.

Nice work so far Moni!


Yes, I'm with Patrick...you plan to paint a color modulation?

yes Patrick thats what I,have been trying to get some what suitable for you ,

real have to agree with what Patrick has said is a bit tricky to get right but dose look good if so


well Patrick I ,have a go at it,and all in all think it turned out alright in my eyes,


still all the gear to add so much bits and bobs on these all the tools,


well hoping your liking it so far


need to start the weathering,

You're not hanging about are you?!


That looks good, don't go too mad on the rust though - I really get annoyed at seeing German AFVs all rusted up!

 

[takeslousyphotos]

Looking very good Monica......... I like it a lot.

 

[takeslousyphotos]

Looking at the photos again Monica.......... I have one small observation, it isn't a criticism, but (isn't there always a but ??.......... ). I reckon the spare track on the front and side are too rusty. Personally I'd like to see them in an "Iron Finish" with a bit of surface rust.
