Hi Tim,

Thank you for the positive feedback, it's great getting support, especially when it's proving difficult to get a look that I'm happy with, .

Your bicycle and 'baking powder' snow look great, love the way you have settled it on the tree bark, very realistic, .

To be honest I did consider baking powder, but over here it's difficult to get anything related to baking during this darned COVID 19 lockdown, . Plus, one or two people mentioned about it yellowing over time...how do you avoid that?

Cheers, ,

I've had good luck with oversprays of so-called "flat Future", which is just Future floor acrylic (now marketed as Pledge Revive-It) mixed with a bit of Tamiya Flat Base.

I'll have to see how it turns out. Now at the stage of adding a lighter mist over the panzer grey. Then I can paint the hood, and start weathering... After fabricating a set of windscreen wipers. Any suggestion how to do that best?

Not that I've discovered which is unfortunate as I think its the best for replicating fresh snow.

Fantastic how you build up the mud... Just a bit more colour needed to the grass IMHO... Either yellow for dead grass or green for living. It is quite bland now...

Better! Now it is spot on!

Hey G you got yourself a man-bag – accessorising, that’s the name of the game! Churchy actually looks really um cool but I’m absolutely not watching at all at all

Mud and grass turned out great on your Churchy.
Colors look good as well. My only critique would be more randomness in the muds' placement. It looks too evenly spread outalong the length of the side mud guard.
But that is one of my pet peeves. Randomness.
Much like my reasoning ability...very random,

It is a worn white wash. Looking good from here G.

I dunno why you say it isn't good, as I would be proud if my kits would be like this!

Nice job on the tank. So just to make sure I understand - wipers for the periscopes? If so, I recall a PE set for the Chieftain I never used. Might have been On The Mark. If I dig them up (and they're the right size) they're yours. Alternately you could look at at a set for HO scale locomotives, either in PE, styrene or nylon. The nylon ones don't break as easily.

The problem with PE wipers of any scale is they usually are one piece - flat and attempting to replicate an articulated wiper that may be made up of two or three pieces. You might try cutting up pieces of PE frame and making them. There are probably pieces in the frames that already have the width you need - you just need to cut them to the desired length and attach all of the components together with CA.
