Steve / H and any body who likes wallace and gromitt
the anti pesto was purchased to turn Wallace and Gromitt into napoleon and either an adc or josephine. if its an adc then it will be on campaign if its josephine then it will be based somewhere else. And which one should be nap and which should be the other.

The finished article - although after seeing the phots I notice the extreme close up has shown up bits that I have missed. Anyhoo - see what you think. Paul    |

Hi Paul.
Nice camo.
Looks very much like the Tamaya upgrade on this vehicle, but with out the etchings. ;D
Maybe tone down the tires a bit, look to black and new.

Thanks for the comments - it is the Dragon Smart Kit, great kit and without the need to buy expensive after market stuff - its all included.
I take your point about the wheels, I was trying out a tip I was given by flowing thinned oil paint around the rims to form a demarcation before filling the rest of the tyre. I used black paint thinking taht it will be mostly hidden under the weathering anyway but then I completely forgot to weather the wheels at all except a little wash.
You lives and learn

Superb work  although I'd go along with Foxy's tyre comment German WWII rubber always looks greyer to me  |

Still nice job Paul, I use for the tires LifeColor paint RAL 7016 or UA 208 Anthrazitgrau. This when left to dry and weathered, makes a good representation of the real thing I think. But I am shure there are others which can do the same job of toneing it down lol.  |

I have started using vallejo Black/Grey which is not so stark as straight black and once the pastel chalk or weathering powder is applied looks fine.
Perhaps I will revisit this at some point and rectify the wheels, the more I look at it the more stark it becomes. I appreciate your comments though, welcome your feedback.
