I think I'll try the white wash. Then in the Spring, I'll try removing it.... maybe it'll look authentic then.

Cheers...

Superb.

That's some kind great detailing you did there. How do you get the white wash look? I was considering using real white wash, which I think is water soluble.

I'd like to get my KT to look like that.

Cheers...


I used a sponge and a mix of white, brown and red acrylic paint { red and brown were in small quantities }and dabbed the tank with alyer upon layer of the paint.

Status: offline 		Thanks, Harq. I still need to learn more about taking proper photos. I'm thinking of visiting the Great Sand Dunes National Monument on the west slope of the Sangre De Cristos some time this winter to take some desert-looking shots there.

Puff - thanks. I'll try it. Small quantities at a time? Maybe I'll attempt a small patch at first until I get the right effect. Thanks again,

Cheers...

The shifting, singing sands! When the wind blows the friction of the sand granuales creates a singing sound - weird, eerie, but neat! Also the place where UFO's were seen quite regularly in the late 50's through the 60's - and still going on. Home of Snippy the horse, lettuce and potatoes! Wait! What was this forum about? Oh, yeah, TANKS! And great looking ones at that!

Sould be pretty good for photos. I'll have to figure out how to get the monster onto the dunes though since you can't drive up to them anymore -- the Nat'l Monuments people took over and now you can't flatulate without having someone yell at you.

Cheers...

Thanks for the replies guys! Looks like a great Christmas gift for .... ME!
