Thanks Gag! Yup watch this space for a base!The Nylon Gag said:Once again MJ you have knocked it out the park.
Loved the camo paint and then you put the white wash on and i thought, ............. ok.
Then you grimed and streaked and re-did the shoulder pad and decals and ....and....and.....WOW. The depth the white creates in the weathering is stunning
The kicker for me is the contrast of the red & yellow lights and the yellow decals, very cool. 8)
Just beautiful buddy

Right another update, clocks ticking on this build gotta wrap it up sooooon. Started on the base, just a simple picture frame flipped upside down and filled (squeezed) in foam board for planting flowers, (what am I going to do with my fake lillies now!?) then sprayed Grimy Black with my SMA BAdger Patriot AB ;D
Then highlighted with Tamiya Paints:
Sprayed some Damp Earth and Earth Effects from Ak Interactive through the AB at the lowest setting, just let it cough out the paint lol.
Then mixed up some Dark Mud with some European Earth (also from AK) and applied it generously around the bottom of the foot.
Used the world famous Scott Girvan technique here and drilled a small hole and added some rod so he can be stuck into the foam base:
Hope you like it!
