The hull has had its top coat of olive drab and some high lights done, the details have been picked out in OD mixed with light flesh. Next Gloss clear enamel has been added in the areas where the decals will be placed. This will be followed by a coat of clear when the decals have been added ready for the washes and chipping.
I have started on the stowage adding colours. I still cant get the hang of highlighting it always looks to stark I struggle to make it look subtle.
Scottie,
Nothing wrong there at all. If there is one suggestion I could make when painting equipment, it is to use oils to give you your highlights and shadows as you would with figure painting. So much easiers than acrylics. But as I said nowt wrong there.
Cheers, Mike.
Thanks Lee, its always fun to make your own and so much cheaper than after market stuff.

Thanks Mike I was actually thinking that to myself I will have a go when I get back to the bench. Thanks for the suggestion.
The stowage looks absolutely right to me. I think you have a subtle style of painting and stark highlights would stand out too much against the vehicle. Just keep on doing what feels natural - you're good at it. Superb work Scottie.
