                        Thanks for the comliments y'all. For those that survive long enough, I'm going to attempt to finish the 1/16th Tiger I now but I can tell you it's gonna be a while. There's a LOT of Aber left to go for that one.

                        Gosh Eric, I haven't been with the forum for very "LONG", but that is one of the nicest pieces of weathering I believe I have seen. quality takes time, and your "LONGTOM" reflects the results. great work. semper fi, mike

                        Thanks for all the comments and compliments guys! Ausf, I started that kit a couple years ago but the kit was missing the wheels so it sat aside for a while. The painting and finishing probably took the longest with all the nooks and crannies in that suspension.

                        On the weathering and painting...I used Tamiya OD to paint it, then future w/Tamiya flat base for the dull coat. I then took MIGs "Europe dust" colored weathering powders and rubbed that in with a stiff "dry brushing" brush. I kept brushing the excess off in areas I wanted lightly dusted and left it heavey in the other areas. The muddy areas I put on heavy and left the excess.

                        Thanks again to all.

                        Eric

                        The dust and weathering, particularly on the tires, is phenomenal.
