The green overalls are fine but a tankie wearing a green beret arghhh !

Standing by for friendly fire LOL

Ahh, bit of a faux pax huh? OK, I could be persuaded to paint them NATO black.

Another great build that could tempt me to the dark side.
I do like the mk1a cardboard box spray booth. I used to have one myself, a great bit of kit.

[Mr Bowcat]

Black berets, by popular demand.

I also had a go at some mud effects, I'm pretty pleased with my first attempt.

Thats better Bob
The weathering is good mate

[Mr Bowcat]

Cheers. I went a bit heavier on the weathering than the Challenger, really just practicing new techniques, but I'm happy with it. I particularly like the effects of the streaking grime and the mud.
