Decided to use this Encore Models kit as my entry instead of the Camel:

I like that a lot. How did you get that finish on the ammo cans?
James

Hi James,
The picture is magnified which makes the finish look a bit over done but basically I coat the item in enamel aluminium and once its dry I use the spong method with Vallejo aluminium on the corners etc and then an enamel wash. The two tones and wash give the impression of old plate, at least I hope it does lol. Thank you for taking the time to comment,
Tom

Looks good Tom! Keep on with the build, you still have about 13 months to finish it so don't wait till the wire.

:popcorn
 
Closing time, managed to break a part so I guess this kit aint going out without a fight lol, gaps in the seams so plenty of filler work to do :soldier

The seat belts rock! :ro:

Thank you Mike, they were preprinted but when I tried to shape them the color just cracked off so I annealed them, painted and fitted like normal which seems to have done the trick. If you want to see some really rocking seat belts then check out HGWs new texile belts, they are awesome.
