Album image #1
Fantastic kit to build, but in the end I wasn't totally happy with the too subtle texture, so created my own 
 

Album image #2
Addition of welds and changes of existing ones based on reference photographs 
 

Album image #3
Trying out Mr Surfacer 1200 + Mr Colour Thinner as a primer on recommendation from a friend. Would definitely recommend, and will continue to use them. 
 

Album image #4
Trying out a new technique with black lining all edges and shadowed areas 
 

Album image #5
Don't get the actual effect of the green in the photograph on iPhone, but AK's Real Colour "British S.C.C. 15 Olive Drab" is exactly the right colour. Not too green, not too olive drab. 
 

Album image #6
Added a tiny drop of Light Green for subtle highlights

The texturing came out great.

Thanks, Ben! I'm glad you like it!
I went back and fourth for a few days before deciding to go for it, and am pleased that I did.
