Bronto, nice job on the elefant. Which zimmerit set is that? The figure gives a good indication of the size of the vehicle.

Not any zimmerit set, it is made using squadron white putty.

Really nice, Bronto. Good work on making the home-brew zimmerit, and the figure as well.

A model this large would look good with some pin washes around the obvious creases, around the projecting hatches, etc, and in the wheels. Even if heavy weathering isn't your thing, the pin washes would give you more definition and detail.

Thank you all for the nice words.

Doog-   Washes were applied, the terrible lighting i have here in the truck made the photos over exposed.
