I've added th 3rd. stage of the White Wash ! Sealing each layer with AlClad's Aqua Gloss Clear. ( it's super thin & I misted 2 coats on. I much prefer this to Future. It's an Acrylic Resin ( base, as opposed to the Alcohol based other Gloss' & Flats that AlClad offers.) Each successive layer was followed by a seal coat of th Aqua Gloss. Lookin' at it closely .. to Me .. it's added depth ! ? Also adding some of the Winter Streaking , followed by a final layer of Their Nato Rain Marks to aid in th dilapidated White Wash ! Th windows were weathered with some Lacquer Thinner to give that Frosted look.

I used some "Snow & Ice Fx" mixed with some of AK's Fresh Mud,Dark Earth & Kursk Earth ot form th Ice Klods that gather in th Nether Regions ! I think another layer will be needed once She get's on th base.

You want MUD !? You got it !

Breaking into AK's Heavy Mud weathering set , I added th mud in layers, changing up th colors from Fresh Mud - Kursk Earth. I then went back & finished it off with some Wet Fx. & Dark Earth pigment for added texture.

What is the Snow & Ice Fx? Is that an AK product?

Looking good Erik!

Hey Everybody ,

Thanx for th kind words !!! Much appreciated !

@- TomN - The Snow & Ice Fx. belong to another company .... I can't say just yet ... but hopefully soon I can release a review & Video on th is Awesome stuff !! It really does put everything you've ever tried to shame. As far as making Ice & Snow !!

RON & ERIK - I could see how some people may say that it's too much ... But look at these real pix from th Rasputsia .... It's real! I know both of you Dig it .... these are what inspired Me to get Her real Dirty. Plus .. If any one has ever owned a Bug & taken it through Mud .... It can really kick up th Mud !! \m/

:erik
 
Erik,

Looks fabulous!

There's only one organization that would ding it in a contest and we all know who that is. To say something positive and to be fair, they are the best there is at counting rivets though, I'll give them that!

Great job! (y) (y) (y) (y)

Great job on the Kubel wagon Erik.
The worn winter cammo is spot on.
I have found some photos of panthers for you from the pocket area.
The first is a very rare one from the kowel railway station. Sorry but some of the quality is not great - I just hope that I have the right area - early 44 Kowel / cherkassy?.


regards Ian
