Hearing those words from one of my idols here on dA... Wow!Thank you really much! I asume you haven't tried it so farJust get a sponge, some dark brown color and carefully apply it! There you are! I still try to learn where to paint the effects. It is not as easy as it sounds! I have also learned the importance of the right order of assembly. Next time i buy a tank i will not paint (or even glue on) the eagle, the scroll, the boxes... anything but the chassis before that step of weathering! I am really looking forward to upcoming projects like this one!
