It's very simple, but thats exactly what I wanted, an afternoon build. The main problem is the tracks and suspension. I'm a fan of band tracks for their quickness especially in this tiny size, but these are 2 pieces per side, and require the heated pin head method to join, and the pin part aren't long enough to make a good join so need to be reinforced with a staple and glue hence the mess. I can't get paint to stick either. The suspension arms are so thin they break easily, and so I found it very difficult to get tracks to tension using the front idler because of all this weakness. But I wasn't prepared to build a Panda version with individuals so there it's is.
Dusty, I have Afghan setting in mind, and saw recent photos where they look like a flock of pidgeons have attacked, the dust seems so white. I went with just oil brusher oils, no pigments this time.

Yep, oil liners, used the dust colour. Started with medium earth for ground in dirt then added the dust and a bit of buff for finish. Put down dots and blended or streaked with white spirit moistened brush. Just done same on a SU-85 but not as dusty, it's a good technique for my style as I'm too heavy handed with pastels
