Disaster, thanks for your comments. I checked out your BT7, what a great build, as everyone said on that thread, the weathering is just fantastic. I've only started building armor recently, and for some reason I've been fascinated on creating a good rust finish. Your BT7 is definitely reference material for me in terms of what one can achieve.
Terry, do drop by the GB. I love the look of this particular Italian armor too, those tricolors sure do make them more interesting than the usual gray or tan.
