How do we know if it is not an 1:1 scale mufflers?  They look great... way too real I am telling you!  What did you use to create the surface texture? 

Cool Andy ! Thanks for the very encouraging comments ! Hopefully the last attempt will look as good .

Andy ,what i ended up doing is using lacquer thinner applied with a stiff brush and then stippled the surface with the brush to make it rough . I painted that panzer gray , then dry brushed with rust and over that with leather , all model Master enamel . finally i touched it up with some pastel chalk colors .

Thanks Shellback!  Loving it... I will definitely give it a try next time maybe on my Panzer III or IV.  Looking forward to your next update. 

Thanks again Andy . I'm sure you will expand on my technique and do even better than i did . I'm not sure that i'm happy with the results completely .

Ok guys i'm leaving the mufflers as they are for now .............

Here's the Jerry cans .

Really like the tonal variations on those jerry cans.

Details are looking sharp and really going to bring this one to life Carl, always look forward to seeing your next little update on this project.

Looking great,Shell.... the muffler is greatly improved and the jerry cans are just beautiful!... perfect

Eric , Bill and Tread thanks for looking and your comments . I went ahead and mounted the mufflers . They were a good learning experience for me . I think i spent about 4 days , off n on , working on them . Thanks to Treads input i put more effort into them than i was going to originally. But they are close enough for this build . I can improve on my technique on my next models .

Hey bro'.... the muffs look pretty damn sweet !  you did a terrific job. they look excellent mounted

yer pal,

bill

Hey Tread thanks for that ! I figured they would look better with a vehicle wrapped around them .Here's one more .

Spare tire mounted .

Excellent work Carl, the exhausts are first class.

Terry.

Thanks Terry !

Tools mounted and i did some touch up on the exterior with pastels and a light dry brushing .

Hey Shell : )
