Hi there Patrick you certainly up to a great start ! Figures looks good im sure you do a great job painting them! Vehicle nicely build paint job looks great, probably need a little weathering to fit the desert! Looking forward to see the completed dio ! Good luck with your build and all the best! Regards Danny

Hi Patrick, nice work so far on the PP. Like the layout of the dio, sometimes it is the position of the models and other small pieces that make it all come to life.

As for weathering, just do some simple washes and a some dust pigment, just go steady.

One thing you can do is use a pencil on the landy, just gently rub on corners etc and that will give you a slightly grey/metallic sheen, looks like rubbed and worn paintwork.

i'm calling this one almost done
just got to give him a gun and do a few other small things
as you can see figures are not my strong suit this one alone has taken me nearly a week and i have still got two more left to do

Hi Patrick
Got to admit I like the 'loads of gear' look on the Land Rover. Figures are nice and the one you have worked on is looking good.
