'Blushes' thankyou very much mate, the base colour isnt the same as my 1/72 its slightly lighter same 2 paints used (humbrol 147 & 28) but slighty more of the 147 used this time. Thanks for looking!

Awesome!
Overall, and the shades are perfect, especially on the engine deck and in the opened panels.
Job very well done!

It's amazing that I never noticed the difference between the dark grey and the blue panels.....

I have to agree with the rest of the crew, very nice work Merseajohn. This looking like a fabulous "Hunk of Junk".

Re: Merseajohn's 1/144 FM MF

Thanks so much for the comments guys! I really wanted to start the weathering tonight but you guys have stopped me rushing ahead!! Anyway here's the progress on the bottom. Just the dark panels to do now (which were originaly done with primer on the studio model)
Sorry again for the poor quality! Should have the camera back soon.

Hey chaps! Starting on the weathering now, and first off was the top turret. All done with AK Interactive pigments. Let me know what you think.

Re: Merseajohn's 1/144 FM MF

That's gonna look fantastic when you're finished with the weathering. And it's small enough that you'll have enough pigments left over to do more models!

 

[Quaralane]

Re: Merseajohn's 1/144 FM MF

Looking really good with those.
Nice start on the weathering

Re: Merseajohn's 1/144 FM MF

NICE!! Can't wait to see the rest of the body, with weathering like that!

Re: Merseajohn's 1/144 FM MF

Weathering looks amazing! (no surprise) but I have question....why go for the weathering pigmants? Is there something going on with those that I should know about? Is there an advantage over simply mixing colour?
