But I still hate mineral spirit effect on small parts

James, I don't like to use big words. It's simply amazing
I especially admire your mentality and patience to re-do things until they look perfect...
cheers,
Zsolt

Very nice James! Really looking forward to seeing this progress.
It amazes me what's available and achievable in 1/35 nowadays.
One question though, and don't take offense, but is the interior 'too' weathered?
There ain't nothing wrong with being anal mate!
Keep it coming!
Cheers

James, Looks great-at the end of training don't forget to get the recruits inside the tank with a broom and dust pan!

It looks really good Jamie.

Nice and dusty (and you've got an original photo to back it up) As you are going to be removing some of the pigments, consider removing most of the dust off the seat, it looks very clean in the original photo.

Just a suggestion as it's your model!

Okay so here are some pics for you showing the progress made since the last update
- and I am happy to say I am actually getting close to getting the tracks on this thing
-always good to get the tracks on! The hardest part about doing this hyper detailing stuff is having to be patient while all the ducks get put in a row. I wish I could be more productive but I think focusing on this idea of working through all the evolutions of tank development will result in some very complete builds.

So here I am opening the can of worms, the wheels previously prepared. These will get the same treatment with the solvents and pigments that the hull got.


Here the suspension parts that the wheels are encapsulated in also get the treatment.




Some pics of the wheels. More work will be down on all of these as this is only an initial dirtying up.


Things are pretty fresh here- the colours will most likely darken and much of the pigment will fall away over the next bit of construction but at last I will have got something where in the future it will be hard to reach.








The suspension strengthening bars get "the treatment" as well.
