    I had no idea you were going to muck it up this much! Looks like the rooskies had their times with the Rasputitsa as well as the Germans. Very nice effect Mr.T.

      Neither did I Rick :smiling2: but since the build isn't that great and the paintwork has been a bit of a test I decided to have a go at something a bit more than the usual light dust

        Quite a change for you Simon. :surprised:
        What do you think to those AK pencils ?
        I was wondering about using them on foam board .

          Glad you had fun in the mud Mr T. Certainly looking the part now. Great stuff

            John - they are ok for doing scratches and small bits of highlighting etc on a matt surface. I wouldn't use them to try and cover a large area
            Not sure they are really any better than the artists water colour pencils I already had

            Steve - who doesn't like making mud pies? All a bit of an experiment though so it may still end in disaster......

                Adding the grass was the magic in my book. Added just that bit of detail taking it out of the ordinary. PaulE

                  Hi Simon
                  Mud is looking good. The grass bits work well. Had fun! Bet you were one of those boys who rolled in mud and splashed in puddles

                    Scottie, Paul, Jim - thanks, lets hope it still looks ok when I finish with it

                    Another round of mud, lighter in tone this time - Kursk soil - splashed on using the airbrush to blow it off the paintbrush method. Never tried it before so that was also fun

                          very nice indeed Mr T!
                          I do love the grass in the mud- totally realistic but usually left off by most people.
                          you should be careful- you might even finish this one......

                            Simon,
                            Just caught up on your build, looks like you have had some fun along the way, nothing like a bit of model aggravation to focus the mind. Great build.
                            Mike.

                                Neil - finish, how dare you :smiling3:

                                Mike - I may do another sometime and replace all the rivets and correct the suspension etc. Have actually quite enjoyed this one though

                                Mick - thanks

                                I am just starting on the base
