I had fun painting this model up, which makes me think I should do more like it. I remember a few years ago when I couldn't wait to paint, but it became a chore to paint everything. After all this hobby is about collecting, sometimes playing, and painting. In that order. :)

| I had to use natural light to show the subtle details, but the sun was setting so it threw some pretty harsh shadows. Even still, the dirt weathering pigment is easy to see in the recesses in this one. It's also worth noting that the tank commander was painted entirely with washes, barring a few touch-ups. |

| The oil-paint rust streaks merge nicely with the dirt-pigment on the side of the tank. |

Two colors of rust colored pigment, heavily reduced (I think I used water to pull pigment off those pipes 3 or 4 times. Less really is more.) I'm pretty happy with the oily fuel drums, the effect was simply built up using layers of Gryphonne Sepia, Ogryn Flesh and Devlan Mud.
On the plate with the Imperial eagle I'm fond of the sponged paint chipping on the left edge turned out. The dusting of dirt and rust on its right side also looks nice. |

| Tracks painted with umber, drybrushed with darkened boltgun and then dabbed with weathering pigment dirt. They didn't pop until I went pack and blackened each rubber pad. All the metallics were a mix of Boltgun and black to keep a worn, military feel. I used blue and purple washes over the barrel of the flamethrower to show heat discoloration. Then I added a little black pigment at the end for soot, followed by white pigment for ash. |

| I love the rust spots and streaks created by flicking the oil-paint. I still have a bit to learn about the pigments, but they are surprisingly easy to use. |
