Sweet! Did you mask it with playdough or some other masking? Cans, or airbrush?

Thanks for the comments guys as soon as shes up and running will do a lil beach video
@ hobbimaster
Hi m8 I was going to use stencils using blu-tac (like play doh) but found getting a decent pattern to hard so i primed it in white then applied a light brown base layer over a few coats then built up the darker brown over a few coats and yes i did use spray cans as im useless with an airbrush lol [] For the base of the tank i just used the darker brown to add some shadow effect.
If you spray in light waves from side to side you can get the camo effect and build the darkness up like that,hope that helps [sm=wink_smile.gif]
