I do really appreciate your support guys!!! it does help me a lot to be a Modeler not just some assembler.

Thanks TRM, Quaralene, Carsenualt and Tank Buddy Norm, much appreciated!!

after a few hours of sleeping, actually slept out on my bench just staring and thinking on the beast... then a bulb just pop out from my head and here's the result! now it looks like a dried out oil stain.

but I have to put the beast temporarily out of the bench for this week and work on a restoration of "Little Brother" need to support our local chapter for the ToyCon this coming weekend.

the mud is a combination of Vallejo pigs and from our backyard. I have to re-wash, re-chip and re-weather and add some stowage.

Thanks for looking!!!
