Nice Job. Some washes and weathering over the top will tie it all in.

You can't have to much silly putty.Ok so here is the latest bit..and it's alotta bit
Well I don’t really have pics but I have been using those small cans of Flat Black Krylon from Hobby Lobby. I primed it black a week ago, and today sat down to work. Remember, I want to do this particular camo scheme:
Now I hope the rivet-counters will cut me slack here, mostly because this is the earliest model T-62, not the 1973 as shown in the pic. Also, I am taking considerable artistic license in painting in this scheme, but this is what I really wanted, so I went with it.
I dee-cided to roll with masking this. This would mean I had to think in terms not of lightest to darkest, but in fields (Least first, most last). To that end I first laid a light coat of Flat White, combines with some Ivory White, letting the black primer bleed thru for some simple moderation:
Next up came the masking. And what better way than to use Silly Putty!
So maybe I over-bought…. Any-hoo, I started cutting and rolling, cutting and rolling, and masking away. The fender and hull represent 1 solid hour, but the turret represents another 90 minutes on it’s own.
So I then went at it with some of my remaining Model Master Russian armor green, when I did again a small amount (Maybe too small) of modulation. All the above represented some 5 hours of time today, but when I unwrapped my prize, I have to say, ABSOLUTELY WORTH IT!
So now it’s on to final assembly and detail paint on this butt-ugly tank. Let me know your non-rivet-counting thoughts, and thanks fer lookin’ in!
Looks great

So it's been a bit, but with the summer semester giving me additional time, I was able to get something done on this today.
Basically final assembly, along with pin washes, some weathering washes on the top, and "mud" paint on the lower running gear.
Whoa what an B-UGLY camo scheme! Still have more to do fer-sher, but next up is getting some foam blocks and cutting them to make the ditch
till then!
