Re: ASU-85 mod1970 Trumpeter
Thanks for the comments.
I managed to make some progress on this gun even if I'm slow. I used the oil dots technique to create some streaking which do not show much on the picture though.
I have to paint the accessories before I apply the pin wash. Then I'll tackle the dust and dried earth on the lower hull and the running gear.

Looks great Olivier!
Just got to love how busy this kit manages to look while being mono coloured... and part of that is decidedly by your paint job, not just the busy exterior!
Best regards

Looking good Olivier, I echo Raouls comments, she’s got a big booty and looks great with your paint job!

Thank you for the comments on the paint job. I am not comfortable with this technique but it looks like it is not a total miss
Here are more pictures with the accessories painted. They have been taken in daylight. The unditching log still needs to be brushed in shades of gray (not 50, a couple should be enough )

Its simply stunning. You have accomplished something I have a very difficult doing, and that is allowing the pre-shading to show through. I take the time to do it, but then I always apply my base coat to heavily and it goes away.
SHawn

Thank you for the kind comments. Unfortunately I'll be unable to work on it for 2 to 3 weeks. I'll be away from the workbench. However I'll be able to see your own progress.

Re: ASU-85 mod1970 Trumpeter
Hello
before I leave my workbench, I have made some progress on the weathering. Dried earth and some dust have been added to the lower hull and the running gear. The upper hull got a coat of dust as well. I don't want to add too much dust so the paintjob remains visible.
Still have to make the front and rear mudflaps from tin foil. The PE ones are too large and too stiff.

Looks awesome Olivier!
Really love the WW2 feeling that both the log and the ...err...busynessness ( ) of the design generate !
Best regards
