 Date:  Sep 2, 2007

Finished

After all the work, I opted not to really dirty the vehicle up, and went with a mildly dusty look. Since I had already given the washes in the last chapter, I finished up the weathering with a light airbrush dusting of a few earthy colors.

Overall, the vehicle got a dusting of Tamiya Buff and Deck Tan. The lower two thirds then got a hint of Tamiya Flat Earth. Then the suspension and transmission area got a touch of Tamiya Flat Brown. Just enough to make it look dusty and not-new. But not enough to obscure and overpower the details of the vehicle.

Had I put this on a base or in a diorama, it would have been extremely dirty as many M12's tend to be shown. But to be honest, I just wasn't in the mood. If I stop now, I can always go back later and make it dirtier and put it in a diorama. If I over-do things now, I can't un-do them later.
