Filters have really brought the camo scheme to life Rodolfo, keep the updates coming!

Thanks friend!

 Here are more updates!

 Filters: Humbrol for each color in base and camo. I added the antennae and hatches.

Damage zimmerit: for start the work in these parts, I will use Humbrol #128 (Satin grey US) mixed with white pigment using spirit solvent in order to give the irregular dust texture. Step 1.- Mixing H128 with pigments. Step 2.- To apply covering the zone to treat Step 3.- Adding more pigment Step 4.- Before to dry, to apply the pigment carefully. And... ready!!!
