Matt,
Still love it. Looks like all the German Armor after the Soviets
rolled through. (I do love Soviet Armor) Sorry everyone.
Great paint job, like Ruben says,
"Step away for the model" "keep your hands where we can see them"
Looks great just the way it is. If you need to you can go mucking
around with it some more, but it looks great just the way it is.

Hello Matt,
fantastic job. The rust looks very realistic. I can't wait such a long time until the tank is ready.

Shawn , Iowabrit , Ian thanks guy's for your kind comments , much appreciated
Well here are a few more update photo's , not that much has been done the last week because it's been to bloody HOT !!!! to do anything , i have added more rust and grime streaks , few more chips here and there , dirt was also added using pigments the lower hull, wheels , back and front lower hull plates all still need to be finished
The spare track links on the front fenders were given different tones of rust coloured pigments to add some visual interest
The sledge hammer on the left hand side i chipped away at the handle then added black pigments with a little white to give that burnt wood look
Here are a few ( well quite a few ) photo's of where i am at .............
I am always adding small subtle weathering detail here and there until i am happy with the result ( added up this would be hours and hours of work ) to me this is the most relaxing and enjoyable part of the process that's probably why i only build 3 maybe 4 kits a year
So thanks again for taking a look and as usual any questions , comments or feedback is more than welcome

Absolutely fantabulous job , you can see the amount of hours involved just in the depth and richness of color ! You must be so stoked with how it is going ?

Matt,
I've got nothing to add that hasn't already been said.
I'll be picking up my jaw and carrying it around for the rest of the day.
Thanks for posting the great pictures.
Looks as real as it gets.

Thank you all so much for your kind words as i have said before , it really means a lot ..... thanks
Since the last photo's i have added some more detail ie. the radio/driver hatches , mantlet shield , started the pistol port plugs , finished the chipping on the lower hull , road wheels etc and added some more dirt and grime ( i know i can't help my self ) but not to much only a bit here and there
I have noticed i haven't painted in between the outer and inner ( the track guide horn space ? ) road wheels so out with the metallic paint to fix this mistake
but in hindsight you wont see much of this area but i will know it is there
thanks again everyone for your support
