Hi all

This is the fantastic Hobbyboss 1:35 GMC Bofors that I've just finished. RB Model replacement barrel, MK35 Editions French officer all sitting on a Miniart base. Really enjoyed this build.

That micro chipping is first rate work dude! Wow... The wear on the wood is cool too.
Excellent piece buddy!!!

its a fabulous build and so much detail it needs a second look to appreciate the small intricate details as well as the whole picture, nice close up shots to browse and some inspiring ideas, very nice indeed

Thanks guys. There are some areas that I'm not so happy about. The wood chipping I did the rear section first and am quite happy with this area. The front section I rushed it and used a hairy stick instead of a cocktail stick over the hairspray technique. This removed far too much material than I would have liked but it's a learning curve and the first time I had tried the hairspray chipping technique. The micro chipping on the paintwork is dry brushing with a sponge starting with a metallic steel colour followed by some brown and a rust colour.
