Looks great to me Nige and I like the colour you got from mixing the pigments - might have to pinch that if thats ok!! :th: :th:

And man-alive all that stowage!! :eeek: There's so much that you will need stowage to keep your stowage in! This is shaping up very nicely and can't wait to see your next update. :cheers2:

Got some more done tonight. I used a mig pigment mix of brick dust/gulf war sand and pigment fixer on the glazer plate. And then used a soft lead pencil to give the effect of the crew scrambling up the tank
