Each one is getting better, I really like these.
The writing in white must be a pen, else you have a very steady hand with a brush !!
Lovely job
 
Thanks Rich, I'm defiantly seeing improvement, learning new techniques and learning from mistakes with each model I build. I have a steady hand but not that steady, The writing was in fact the water slide decal that came with the model.

Well you definitely can't see the outline of the decal, i remember when i used to do a bit, it was a revelation that glossing the area, applying the decal and then covering the area with matt varnish would completely conceal the slight edges you'd normally see.... you've clearly found the same or a better way to do it

Pretty much the same process Rich but after application of the decal (and before the Matt varnish) I use a decal softening product, it is solvent based and softens the decal so it sinks into recesses, shapes over rivers etc and helps with hiding the outline. It makes it look more painted on rather than just stuck on.
 
Hi Darren,yet another masterpiece,even the scratches on the turret are showing rust,the attention to detail is second to none,well done,
Regards,
Don,
 
Meanwhile, I think you just take real tanks and shrink them somehow. In other ways I can not explain these impressive details. :tinysmile_fatgrin_t
Stunning Job again.

Best wishes from Germany.
