Most of this will be covered by the skirt, so I put in the pigments while I still had the chance.

The track connection will also be hidden by the skirts, so I just stapled them together.

Colour modulation. I opted to just pick the colours myself instead of getting the Vallejo set.

Decals and grime added. I hoped that using Golden Acrylic interference paint would give the effect of the headlight being on, but the interference effect wasn't really visible. Going to cover the light with a tarp.

Adding some more stowage to enhance the realism and definitely not to hide the bad job I did with the rivets.

Glued on the stowage and added some more shadows to the tarp covering the light and the flag.

Thank you! Markus and Rui!

I've seen the camo scheme on pictures of other British tanks, but not the Crusader. I messed up the edge of one of the brown spots, which inspired me to try it out.
