Chassis and turret ready for a little bit of rusting up then the matt coats can go on :)

Wheels are off the sprue and tidied up with the the black painted in where they were sanded.  Tracks need a little weathering but are painted up nicely.

Cheers Thomas, I might get some rust happening tonight, and possibly the first matt coat - I'm hoping the panel line wash won't be disturbed too much by the matt.  The eagle eyed amongst you may also notice I damaged one of the star points on the turret decal...not too bad luckily!

Nice one - painting wheels is just one of those joys of armour modelling!

Well, joy is one word for it perhaps :)
