The streaking grime effects look great...anxious for the pigments use ldguy

Ian, I do not known if my opinion( constructive...) is good for you, but I found the chipping very excessive, anyway the overall look is very good

Yes friend I did 'overuse' the chipping on this one :facepalm , after the streaking and other weathering effects it is better but need to remind myself the 'less is more' !!

I like how the weather toned down the camo. Looks very realistic.

Somewhat inevitably and sadly, when pigments are applied, one loses the definition in the camouflage pattern. Not in the first photo (because I forgot), I also used Mig's 'European Earth' as a 'blender' to tie-together the various tones of wash & pigments. And before anybody asks, yes, the slightly different tone on the left-front road wheel is deliberate !!

These will be the last pics before final assembly (hopefully this evening, my time). As ever thanks for taking the time to look and / or comment.

And so after 48 years of building plastic models, I have finished my first German WWII armour - started many, first time finished. Please feel free to make any comment, criticism or ask any questions.

Have a great weekend all.
