Beautiful build. How did you get the exhaust dirt?

Thanks! I used pigments for the exhaust stains. I think I mentioned that in the build thread.
The pigments used where AK Track Rust and a little bit Vallejo Carbon Black.
I used a soft brush to apply the pigments, so I built up the layers to get the desired effect.
I then sealed in the exhaust and gun stains using a matt varnish.

Yeah, it's my favorite way of doing exhaust and gun stains.

Just looking through this now, WOW!
Great skill in all departments, all around top drawer build mate, very very nice to look at!
Hard to comment on anything specific, its the overall quality that's impressive.
You could have easily fooled me with it being 1/32, again, WOW!

Kippis!
