Thanks!

Very nicely done. Excellent weathering. When I built mine I gave up on the bronco tracks and used Crusader fruils

I really like this. Just the right amount of weathering--very realistic!

Looks awesome. A less-than-obvious choice in WWII armor for sure.

Nice!

Thanks for the kind comments guys and to Brian for geting it up!

This one was actually built in parallel to the Matilda.

Cheers!
Stefan

Stefan, wonderful model. Of all the tank camo of the war, RTR's Caunter Scheme is my favorite. Great dust effect, too!

Neatly executed and realistic dust effect. Just loved it. Keep up the good work and thank you for sharing. Warm regards.

Thanks for your kind comments guys.

Personally I liked the Matilda better (better Caunter scheme and weathering) but I think the storage (and possibly the figure which doesn't really belong there) take it down somewhat...

Cheers!

Hi Stefan,

Excellent work, the A13 looks great. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Stefan, I really enjoy your Matilda & the Cruiser with the Caunter scheme! Beautifully executed. I am looking forward to giving this a try, What Tamiya colors did you use? Thanks in Advance! Best Regards! Bill

Alan, thanks for your kind words.

Bill, I first put on a primer coat / pre shading of XF-1 flat black. Then I sprayed on the dark green. According to Tamiya it is a 1:5 mix of XF-1 and XF-26 dark green. I didn't have XF-26 so I used XF-27 black green straight out of the bottle. Then I used the XF-23 light blue but put in some grey to tone it down. Some sources (in particular Zaloga) indicate that it was rather a grey tone than a blue. I decided to go in between and simply tone down the blue to make it more grey. Last color was the sand, for which I used my own mixture of XF-60 dark yellow and XF-59 desert Yellow (it's really a bottle of desert color that I mix into whatever hue I think is needed for the relevant project...).

That's it! With weathering and washes it will change the tones anyway so I don't really try to get the exact hue. Generally I go lighter so it won't get too dark after washes.

Cheers!
Stefan
