Labor Day Update - TD weathering, tracks and wheels


Here is the latest  update since the last:



 
Added some weathering and chipping.  Not 100% happy with it, but it's good for now.  Sprayed on a light dusting of Tamiya paints on the lower half of TD for the base of some light dirt and dust. 


 
Completed Fruil Track building and painting.  Weathered with AK Interactive Effects and Pigments.  Used AK Fixer to lock it all in over the paint color "Dark Tracks" from the Track and Tire Paint set by AK Interactive.


Here is a close up sample of how I plan to lightly soil the running gear.  I do not plan on heavy mud on this one.  I mixed AK pigments in a small cup and used this new color by lightly placing it in certain parts.  Used White Spirits to place it properly.  Then, after it dried, locked it in with AK Fixer.
