Tracks are done! (almost!)
After a quick dry fit I think I might do a few mini adjustments with some lighter earth tones here and there. I also decided to make a separate video about them as ...

Hey guys, today I weathered those tracks, and I shot a small reference SBS for you. Spoiler alert: they were weathered the same way as the tank 😄
At first I wanted to make them into a shor...

Well, here we go... I'd say the earth tones are pretty much finished. While applying them on the rear portion of the tank I had to constantly look at the photos of the unpainted, but assembled mode...

Mates,
got the Aqualine dust tones laid down. Or so I thought!
Turns out, and this is why taking regular pictures of your work is so important, that it needs more than just a few ...

Looks like the Rutscher is starting to get into its final form! 😁
I also made a series of quick shots as a sort of quick reference so you can imagine the process more clearly.

I couldn't look at that exhaust so I did a quick 5-minute fix, removed some of the rust with thinner and added just a few tiny dots into some corners and now I'm much more satisfied with the result...

Yeah, it had taken me some time 😁 But in the past 2 days I managed to complete the chipping all over the model and now I'm in the middle of the rust stage. I suspect it'll be done tomorrow...
