Miniart Valentine

[Jeeves]

Bought this kit from Saúl a while back-- he had used the interior so I am happy to build just the tank as is...although I will not be building the German version. I am looking to recreate the Malta brick camoflage. It has been a good build to date- and good practice for when I get to building one of the interior kits I have in the stash. Definite finicky bits with the multipart sprockets and such...

Been putting this off because of the spring weather and all the outside duties that entails- but got the Malta stone camo started on the Valentine- here is the progress so far!

That's pretty cool!

That camo is so good that it hurts my eyes to look at it.

Looks like the crackle effect.

Trying to figure out base placement...I'm aware this tree is probably not indigenous to Malta and have about 30 pages of wartime Malta images to go through to get a better idea. Also have an Alpine figure and pup to add in...
