Hi Lee. Please do look after John - he's a real reprobate.
So here she is after the latest session:

The main part of the build and paint job is more-or-less complete - just the stowage to add now.
The basic wear was added by dry-brushing on layers of Vallejo Camo Olive Green mixed with increasing amounts of Flat Flesh. At about the half-way stage, I applied a wash of thinned black to the whole thing, then continued dry-brushing, adding more white to the mix. I then applied graphite with my finger to add a metallic and oily look to the panels and highlights, then dry-brushed on a little more of the lighter colours, adding silver, to achieve the final highlights. The last stage was to re-draw the lines and detail with thinned black, using a fine brush.
I next applied the decals, then weathered them in with graphite and very thin washes. The tools were then cleaned up and given a coat of matt black before mounting. The details were then picked out with the appropriate colours. The final stage was assembling and mounting the 50 cal.
I'll leave this alone now until tomorrow, when hopefully a fresh eye will help with any adjustments that are needed.
