No problem mate it was only this morning I did feel the pics weren't showing the real detail of the tank

Cheers mate

Cheers si that's the problem with photos , cameras tend to make colours brighter and also lighten the piece your taking a picture of

If you're using an iPhone Alan, try downloading a photo editing app. I use Pixlr express & it's very good.

Alan that is spot on I think it was down to the lighting on the original photos that made it look like there was no contrast in the rust.

Nice how did you go about it Allen did you paint it properly first then weather the rust on top or rust it from scratch?

The photo of the rear of the tank is brilliant. Looks real to me.

Hi Alan the second set of pics are much better, I love this, i must admit you are inspiring me to do one of these wrecks myself the colouration is spot on and the easy way if you so choose is to cut the MG32 barrel off. Well done mate a beautiful kit well executed.

cheers dave , I painted it in mid-stone then added burnt umber oil washes , then I gave it a dry brush of reddish brown acrylic , then a watered down pva coat and sprinkled rust weathering powder then another oil wash of burnt umber then a dry brush of mid stone in some areas then another coat of burnt umber oil wash then to finish off I sprayed it with thinned pva and got a big brush dipped it in the weathering powder making sure it was thicker in some places so it looks like it's crusted rust

Great tank Alan and the second set of photos really do it justice.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

Seconds out!!

Round three!!!

Sorry, I couldn't resist that.

Yup, the second batch of photo's do it justice, really nicely done!!

I put a sheet of paper in front of my flash to prevent washout and flash back. That is what I did with the photo's of my completed NCR.
