Getting close to finished!

This Pershing has 3:1 gears, Fiber Optic Bow MG, homemade recoil and flash, metal tracks.

These pictures are of the middle finish process. Base color of Dark Earth was applied. then bands of dark grey green. When this had dried I lightly sprayed Olive Drab.

The goal is to have the other under colors just peek through.

I left the underside in a primer for now as I have a new mud method I will attempt.

After the Olive drab I gave it a sepia filter. Then a dark almost black wash. I don't want the wheel to match exactly as I think it adds some interest. These will be a closer bland with the final washes.

Before the wheels went on I used dry pigments to simulate mud and dust around the running gear.

I used a steel color over the armor in a near dry brush effect. It looks to heavy as of now but that will change soon. While waiting on the decals to come in, I applied some floor wax to the areas where the decals will be applied.

The exhaust was painted a base of Acryl Rust then powdered pigments used to simulate the rusticles.

Now does anyone know what gear goes on the back plate? This hull was second hand, and I'm lost on what goes where in the back.
