      Hard work to think of this being so small - well done.

                Thank you Ian, Gerry, Tim, Jim Nick and Andrew. As I said earlier in the build thread, I was pretty pumped up about building this, as it is so removed from the normal WW ll subjects that I build. I guess variety is the spice of life. :thumb2: Rick H.

                    Thanks Paul......Lots of dusty dry pigments and a few light washes before that really calmed down the Panzer Grey. A good technique and I will use it again as it has an aging effect that appeals to me. Glad you like it. Rick H.

                              Whats not to luv? Great work on lightening up the bowser. Lovely touch of colour with the brass handles. Great scratchery and terrific research. One to be proud of my friend
