Thanks everyone!

I just love looking at the "before and after" paintwork shots 

Ditto.

It's amazing how the paintjob coalesces the vehicle and look.

Very much so.

With an aircraft model commencing the paintwork can take it from "almost being ditched" to " actually this isn't that bad".

But just now and then it can go 'What WAS I thinking off? This is total RUBBISH!'

No such thing as a bad whiff. Just sometimes it needs a little more PSR.

Oh so true 👍 😄
If at first you don't succeed..PSR the hell out if it 🤣

Take it back to bare plastic and repaint. 

Or hack it about and put it into a crash diorama...

I changed the headlights to a position on the fenders. Looks much better now. I built a rack Bradley style for .50 cal ammo cans on the back of the casemate.

Everything on the Badger and Weasel is OD green now. It's been a long evening. I preshaded with black on the more recessed areas but I'll see in the morning if it made a difference. If not I might spray a little lightened paint on the upper surfaces tomorrow.

The thing with OD Ken is when it's exposed to the sun for a long while it becomes alot ligther then you'd think ..so you could lighten it up quite alot and it will still look good..anything in between works too.
So you can go from new to old just by shading 

[Rick Lowe]

And the variety of shades OD can fade/bleach/weather into is amazing.

I've heard it's best to add some yellow instead of white.

[Rick Lowe]

That makes sense, as it starts as a mix of yellow and black.

Or a nice deep cream.

[kerick]

Painting tracks and road wheels. You know the story.
The OD green looks good and some of the black preshade is doing its job. Next is some OD plus yellow highlights.

I'm already getting impatient 😄😄
