Thanks Mike, will try that and also see what I can do with pigments to get a broader spectrum of earth tones.

Mix them all together, not the full pots just samples of each and then add or subtract the tones.
Cheers, Mike.

Continued with the Panther this week. Applied the wash to the turret as well and to all the zimmerited surfaces to bring out the ridges a bit more:

Been working on the wheels as well, but too far away from a good result to show any pictures. More head scratching to do......

Another wonderful update Dirk. I am taking frantic notes as I will be having a go at one of these at the end of the year. Looking forward to seeing the next progress report.

Dirk,
looking very good indeed.

Thanks Steve and Scottie!

Continueing with weathering of the engine deck, chipping applied with Vallejo 822 German camo black brown. Always difficult to find the right ballance and not to overdo it.....

Bit more work done on the engine deck. Created some tonal differences with dots of oil paint, which are then mostly removed with a thinner moistened brush and added some oil/grease stains around the engine hatch. Still more to do......

Dirk,
Looking very nice and subtle your right it is easy to over do it.

[JR]

Dirk, agree with Paul on it being subtle, that just makes the hatch area look right .

[Steve Jones]

Very nicely done Dirk. Attention to detail is so important in creating depth. Wonderful work :thumb2:

[Guest]

Dirk,
Looking like a totally new build from what you started with, paint is just right and not over the top, same with the weathering. good job all round.
