Impressed so far. What for me was an unknown brand - the molding is actually really nice and it's going together well. Q...

I know you're feeling very self critical, but it looks pretty good once it's all together. No model ends up being perfect. It's all a learning process. Yellow is a tough color to paint.

Thank you Ben, that's very kind! I am very self-critical! I think watching too many YouTube videos of very talented modellers has given me high expectations! But I am happy with how it's coming together in the end. I've learned a lot from the project, so that's been good too.

Thank you Jv, this model was my third tank model and my fifth model overall. I love variety, and so it's enjoyable for me to try different types of vehicles, brands, sizes etc. each time. I've got a few car models in the stash ready to be built

Yes I see you enjoy doing a variety
Will be interesting to see you build a car
All your builds have been impressive Specaly just starting out
I am working on a small budget
So still just use spray cans
I am looking forward moving on
But will have to wait for now
So yes I also got a few models
I won't touch yet
For now I am just doing cheap ones

Started by removing this piece from the sprue. But then decided to actually paint everything on the sprue, as I think it...

nice model, and really good advice from Martin. if i may give some too.... pin wash it works better if applied over a gloss surface. so my suggestion is, paint with matt colors, apply gloss, apply gloss again, apply washes, and then seal it with matt varnish. it looks like too many layers, so it pays off if you can make them (as Martin said) as thin as possible.
using washes over matt colors, make them look a lot more "dirty" than if applied over gloss. believe, i did that with and X-wing and it ended up gray rather than white with a wash 😉 Same wash over glossy colors it is a lot more fluild and excess can be removed (what can be impossible over matt)

Thank you Spanjaard for the advice, it's little things like that, that are easy for me to get wrong at this stage. I've been using different youtube videos to help me with the weathering and painting, so I probably just misunderstood something along the way. Luckily with this model, the dirty look is kind of what I was after, so it's turned out alright, I think. I'm so happy I decided to upload these projects to Scalemates, I'm getting so much good advice along the way. Thank you again!
