M41 Walker Bulldog - Vietnam

just getting started with assembly 

progress with turret assembly 

more assembly progress 

pre-shading and basecoat done 

 

 

Used Tamiya Dark Iron (XF-84)) for the tracks. It should be interesting to see how this turns out. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

did some airbrush work on the muffler covers for a rusted look 

 

 

 

 

 

Experimented with the periscope using molotow liquid chrome covered in clear smoke paint. 

 

molotow liquid chrome covered with a heavy drop of black smoke paint on the periscope windows... kind of like it 

 

 

 

Pin wash in place on everything. Decided to put everything on, except the tracks for a quick look. 

 

 

 

repainted the rust on the muffler area, think this looks better 

did some dust wash to dirty it up a little
