Very cool! And the tracks look excellent.
Neat, very creative Erik 
Thanks guys 
Did some work yesterday, and I declare the build part for completed. If you build a model like this you get a lot of "funny" ideas to put on the kit, but I think it's ok now. I guess it's easy to get carried away and overdo it. So this is it;
And with a primer coat;
I think it got the looks of "de Tank van de Generaal", comments always welcome!!
Now on to painting! Thanks for looking!

Good question Bob, I was thinking of doing minimal weathering, a very light wash and a pinwash to give it more depth but no rust etc. What do you guys think?
Erik
You have to think about comic book colors. Think we need to throw a rock at Chuck and get some of his input.

For someone who claims that this is his first scratch built model you did a very good job.
Simply excellent!
Why don't you paint it as in the cartoon?

My two cents is; paint like the cartoon.

Good idea, Mayby I could sent it to Chuck and let him paint it
But only the input would help also!Cheers Erik
Hey Ruben, good to see you again!
The problem is I'm not very good at painting models, certainly not if it has to have a cartoon look...but I will try All the best for the New Year, for yo and your family!!

Ha- ask the cartoonist! I've been thinking about it, and this would be a great time to use volumetric lighting in an exaggerated style! It would make the shapes pop and emphasize the cartoony nature of the beast. Do some chpping here and there and some good old drybrushing on thos baskets, rivets, etc. Be sure to keep the colors on the bright side- no faded, greyed-out hues here. Dirt here and there- but clean, mostly- with some big, fat boot prints and a hand print or two.
My 2 cents, as requested. What a great model you've made, Erik- cheers!
