Very nice camo scheme! I didn't do it on mine because I figured it would be too difficult. But you pulled it off well! Also, I believe weathering is only mildly necessary, and the smaller the scale, the less needed it is. 1/72, unless the tank has been through the wars (pun not intended) you wouldn't need much weathering. If you were doing 1/32, it would be much more necessary.

Thank you :) But the red/brown color was of the wrong sort so fixed it later, will have a picture of it up later.
That is very correct, that why I wont try bigger scales since I can only paint them like this xD

looks great. have you tried using chalk pastel to weather. that's a simple way to add age to a tank, and relative cheaper than buy a fancy weathering kit. anyways the tank looks great!

No I havent, have no experience of weathering and my attempts at it has been disasters :/
Would either need a book about it or someone to show me how it is done, I suck with paint and colors and weathering is even harder.

Thank you :)

i don't think you suck with paint, you do good work. it all takes practice, and part of practice is failure. i would suggest buying a wicked cheap kit( like a cheap car that's what i do) and realty try out some weathering techniques on it. go wild and experiment that way it doesn't matter what it looks like. i used this website to start out with the pastels [link] weathering in pastels is pretty easy and i bought a set at an art supply store for like $25 bucks(cheaper online).
