Many thanks Tony, Graham and Andy, for your very kind words and support,Just working on the Gun and cage at present, the exhaust still needs some work to it, but I will wait until have applied the last protective coat, then when I do the final pin wash,I can age the exhaust a tad more.
Over the next few days I will get a tutorial done for you guys, as after this is finished, I dont want to start anything else until I get back from Japan, one of the key points in chipping any model I have found is not to be to uniform, and be as random as possible, but I think chipping is comes into its own when you apply a wash, this I find just blends it all into one.
I do enjoy making my own washes, so you guys who like to buy them "ready mixed"may have to put them away and mix your own..lol
For the eagled eyed among you, you may have noticed that I painted the inner doors desert yellow, well while reading about this tub, I found out that they painted them desert yellow, due to the simple fact that when stood, the white interior paint broke the camouflage, when the doors where open, as was quite the norm due to the heat.
