Disastermaster - I told you so![Smile [:)]](/emoticons/icon_smile.gif) , but the colour does grow on you. It's based on a colour scheme in Trojcas fantastic King Tiger book.
doog - thanks buddy. Yeah, I know the shine's a bit 'in your face'. Like I said before, that's the coat of Future. She'll be getting a dullcote once the washes and filters are done. As for paints, all Tamiya Acrylic.

Jurgen, just know that, if you;re using Tamiya acrylic, you absolutely
do not need the mythical, overused "coat of Future". You can use Solvaset decal setting solution to perfectly snuggle down the decals (I use it ALL THE TIME!) and forgo that nasty shine.
Furthermore, if you use simple low-odor mineral spirits, you wll have no problems at all with your washes or weathering. Tamiya acrylics are some TOUGH paint!
Use the Future for your furniture or floors; or if you're into aircraft or cars; forget about it for your armor models. All you're doing is adding another gunky layer of detail-robbing lacquer, which then has to be toned down with more detail-robbibg flat coat. Try it on your next build--I promoise, you won't regret it!
