Re: Gav's Meng Bradley & Tamiya TUSK Abrams Build
Cheers Mike. Still got the environmental weathering to add, which being a desert vehicle will mainly be built up dust. I will add some slight mud build up around the wheels and lower hull, but nothing much. It will be weathered similar to my Paladin, with a build up of dust around the lower hull/running gear, then dust deposits in the crevices etc. of the main hull/turret.

Cheers for the comment Jedi.
So believe it or not this model is now finished! Therefore this will be the final WIP update, and I will link to the final reveal thread as well.
Onto the final batch of WIP pics then!
Adding the MG ring to the loaders hatch and the commanders cupola.
The stowage items which will be placed on the model. Obivously these are still WIP, but gives you an idea of what will be added.
Closer look at the US Woodland camo painted on the back pack. I painted the two packs joined in this camo as well.
Idea of stowage placement
Stowage on, aerials on, crew in place
And that's her now. I added a layer of Kursk Soil and Light Dirt Nature Effects to the lower hull and running gear. I then added pigments to give the impression of some build up sand/light mud in the wheels, along the bottom of the skirts etc. You can see this in the reveal pics as I didn't take any pics as I did it.
Thanks for sticking with this thread, sorry it wasn't finished for the SiG it was intended, but I am finding a better rythm with my modelling within my life so might be able to get some more work done on models from now on.
Cheers for looking and I welcome your comments.
