its been a while since i worked on this but a few weeks ago i gave it a colour change but never got around to updating the vbench, as you can see it still needs weathering etc this was my first ever attempt at airbrushing camouflage.

Well James [Jim?], this is a good way to get your money out of a kit

.
The good thing is you'll get better each time you do it. After this you can give it a desert paint job perhaps?

Anyway I've looked in from time to time and just thought I'd say hi

.

i was considering a desert paint job, but i think after watching hurt locker i think i will get a humvee and maybe an abrams in desert camo and try scratch a bomb squad and bomb disposal robot thing lol
