Sol that looks so good. Really great, it's a pleasure to look at.

Cheers for the compliments, gentlemen
Today I've done oil fading on the kit.
Unfortunately, the overall change of the hull's tone is probably not visible on the pics - I should re-photo them under the daylight - but they do show some additional weathering achieved.
Next step I'm going to add another layer of Future for some additional washing, some AK stuff and some postshading.
Stay tuned

Wow that really looks like paint on metal. What tom-foolery is this?

This turned out excellent. Great job with the chipping stuff and scratch building. I really wish I had seen this thread about 6 months ago before I glued that thing together. You had so many cool additions to it that I would have loved to borrow for mine like the interiror/hatch.
At least I now have the urge to actually start painting mine now

Thanks a lot, merseajohn, Mike and Igard!
@Ziz: Cheers, mate! I'm getting same fillings now. At first, as I've just done this fading it didn't seem a big difference for me: You know, the eye is getting used to something you're working on for a long time. But now I do start seeing this was not for time waste)))
@ Glorfindel, excuse me for maybe a stupid question, but what is tom-foolery *shy*
@ YOULI, thank You! The nearest opportunity would be tomorrow morning since I wouldn't have to go to work due to some greatly aligned circumstances, and would gladly devote some time for additional taking pictures. Maybe there would be even some new weathering by that time The main problem with most of my WIP pics is that I can only make them during the hours I spend at the bench, i.e. at evenings-nights, and in winter it is dark already by the time I'm returning home.
@ blakeh1, thanks! Don't forget to share some pics of your AAT with us

Hey, guys!
As I had promised, I've taken the better pics under the daylight today's morning. You can also note the dark wash streaks and dirt and oilish...errr.. something I've added to replicate the look of the studio's version back of the tank - like on this pic:
Well, enjoy, and don't forget to let me know what do you think of this, while the finish coat of laquer is yet to come

Still looks fantastic!
And it appears to be a lot larger than I thought an AMT/ERTL Star Wars kit to be.
I am anxious to see how it will look as you cross the finish line with it!
;D;D;D

I can smell that oil! That looks great Sol just like the studio model! If you wanted to go a little further (all though it Isn't evident on the studio model) you could add some black pigment and futur/klear to look like a build up of grime in some areas. Like Ken did on his Ma.k figure over on reviews.
Thank you, guys!
Igard, right You are, I'm aaaalmost there, just a very little bit left...
Correction: just a little bit + the stand. I've already got some foregoing plans for the former. Just it wouldn't be me if I called her finished without some good ground beneath
Mike, it really is an unexpectively large kit - actually I didn't completely realize it's size until the very time I've test fitted the parts. And I definately won't place it on the same shelve with my previous Star Destroyer - she looks absolutely not giant standing aside with this tank!
John, I curtainly would make some adjustments to the look of the studio model - as far as I've learned it was used more as a reference for 3D-designers rather then for actual filming, so it's weathring looks a bit... speedy but not 100% realistic on my taste.
On my left-to-do-list now:
- the crime effect You are recommending.
- some fuel strains effect by AK over the existing oil leaks to give them more depth and more sence of..errr.. liquidness
- a touch of rust streaking here and there
- some postshading-like sooth with airbrush, especially around the rocket launching tubes
- some light touches here and there with different techniques for more interest in future observing the finished tank.
Many of the done by tonight. I'll go get a little bit of sleep, and will post the progress pics in about 7-8 hours and made under the daylight once again
