Well, after a while I got tired of watching my shiny bulldog prance around like it just came off the assembly line,
I wanted a more real, and tough look to it....

So I picked up a small pot of "Tamiya Flat Earth" , I thinned this down allot, and applied it with a light cloth (dishcloth). The effect is actually not bad, I obviously haven't finished, there's quite allot more to do.


So, here it is beforehand.



and after...









Merry Christmas guys!

Brings to mind a song...

They see me rollin'
They hatin'
Patrollin'
And tryin' to catch me ridin' dirty.
Tryin' to catch me ridin' dirty.
Tryin' to catch me ridin' dirty.
Tryin' to catch me ridin' dirty.
Tryin' to catch me ridin' dirty.

Love that dirty tank!

Fine work.

hahahaha!

Thanks, no expert on weathering, my first shot, still lacking something I think.

Got my camera set up now, having a blast, problem is, where I live it's really in the bush (Loads of trees, like a Rainforest pretty much) and the receiver is having trouble getting a clear signal all the time, I can't get more than 10m range on the camera before it starts going fuzzy, then looses reception alltoghether. Anyway, I'm about to post on that.

These tanks are major fun, though, I couldn't imagine it without the rotating turret and airsoft unit! [8D]
