So this is the third model kit that I have done and decided to forgo what the Trumpeter kit recommend as far as the camo paint job and decided to do a winter camo job.

Here are the pics so far. Next is a layer of future a pin wash and then working on weathering.

Critiques and feedback are welcomed. Baseless praise appreciated.

Indeed good looking machine there, and nice choice of subject. I always wondered how something with such a huge melon could avoid taking a hit in it ;D
 
Looks very good in a W/W,and it's well executed.Your chipping&scratch effects look very nice as well,and your choice of winter white on this beast was a great choice as it makes a superb canvas for weathering.I'all be watching this one for sure......keep up the good work!
 
As a follow-up I did a pin wash and have done some weathering i.e. streaking. . . . .

Any advice on how long I should let the streaking sit to dry? I used the AK interactive streaking and from what I can tell maybe a couple of days before I apply a second layer.

Also, check out barter's KV2 that thing is awesome and has giving me some inspiration.
 
Hey Shinai!! Nice WW!!! Looking forward to seeing this after the washes and streaks.

As for the AK a day or two is all you would need. At least from what I do. The first coat should stay put, but sometimes a will add a quick light clear coat to insure that they stay put. Keep it coming!! ;)
 
That is one nicely battered paintjob you have there. Already looking forward to the weathering.
 
Okay well I have been making slow progress on this build. I did a pin wash and some light streaking with a light dark and brownish wash. I am seen some other builds that are pretty well weather and I wanted to do something that was a little less subtle. However, I will add some dirt, mud and some snow effects to the later - especially to the chassis.

Sorry these photos are not great - kind of makes it hard to see some of the effects.

Any comments and suggestions are welcomed.

Well it took me about two and a half years to get this done. I did not even touch it for more than a year because I have been just so busy with so many other things. Well here it is . . . I thought of building a diorama for it, but I completely fail at snow effects.
