Ok here is my finished Tamiya 1/35 Leopard 2A5

pre - weather:

then post weather techniques:

Main weathering involved dry brush, plus a Sepia wash, highlighting panel lines, bolts, all the finer plastic moulded details, finished with a very fine spray of Sepia

I like it Dave! the camo is terrific, and just enough weathering to allow the camo to show. Go to the front of the line. semper fi, mike

Very nice indeed. I've noticed that a lot of armor is "over weathered" (mostly to hide mistakes), I agree with mike, your weathering is just enough to accent the work. My experience in Germany when looking at the real Leo's was that the Bundeswehr took great pains to keep thier tanks in "mint" condition. A great Job!
