By heck, you're not hanging about John lol. I've only gave mine a good looking at, you've got the turret built. Nice one.

Have fun, John

Doesn't look that naff mate, i take it you've used acrylics and the hairy stick to do this? ... if so it's a mighty fine job John

Started the weathering with a coat of brown wash, this had the effect of softening up the camo.

I then dry brushed silver to give a worn effect.
