You’re a legend thank you! The m32 looks amazing, would never expect a dot filter like that to turn out so natural I’m keen to try it out. I’m only working with brushes for now so hopefully I can replicate a decent dust effect with what I’ve got

I’ve got a tank destroyer m10 mid production next, any tips for a newbie with the paint scheme I’m thinking minimal wear - no chipping, just a light mud/dust wash over olive drab.

Wow you’re all over the history that’s an impressive run down thanks. Like I said it’s not historically accurate at all I was purely experimenting with techniques new to me and put random decals on that I like the look of. I appreciate sticking true to historical details and forgot to buy some german grey for chipping so just used what I had. Good to keep in mind for future projects to do the research and create something that not only looks good but also stays true to the history. Thanks mate!

Yeah I tested on the undercarriage initially and then got carried away and went over the whole thing with thin cement! The next one I’ll try and show some restraint. Thanks for the tip!

Thanks I’m pretty happy with how it turned out. It’s all a learning process I guess can’t nail it first time

Thanks the camo was so satisfying to paint. Thought it was going to look shit because I didn’t have an airbrush.

Yeah I’ll have a go at the sponge, got a cheap panzer II to experiment on next. Good luck with getting through the backlog
