Olive drab with a dark brown wash, then Drybrushed edges in red/brown and sponged on red brown. 
 

rust wash next 

Next. The tracks, red primer, then a red brown coat, followed by. Heavy enamel rust wash, then a silver Drybrush to bring up the worn metal parts, then a heavy dust wash 

Awnings added. That should do this one. 

Come on! You can do it! 

Tin Roof; rusted……

Thats the chap. . 

Thanks mate, I’ll get the awnings on tomorrow and then do up the OD one. The hours of alignment have paid off so far. 
 

I watched Captain Nightshift do a video on a WW1 tank, follow that and you’ll replicate this easily enough. 

Just need to add the awnings 

Name  the song ……

So coming together now, a few days work to get the roof done now? Then I can do the other tractor 

With a really big engine ! 

It’s all about layers, if you look at my Borodino, Graf Zepplin or Seydlitz builds it covers the rust and wear. I followed a U tube video from Captain Nightshift which is just excellent 

Anyways, I now have 4 WNW kits which I intend to build on here if I live long enough. There are 2 more ships in the stash which will be done soon as there is very little that is grabbing me, maybe another Dreadnought ? Lots of stories about some new RN kits to be released but I don’t believe it. 

Unfortunately for some bizarre reason shipping from the US to Australia is truely offensive. A $90 kit has the same amount for shipping pretty much. It does not make sense why it is to high short of blatant profiteering from the carrier companies, a Gotha has a  $200 shipping fee!! 

Starting to come together!!! 

Nice. Ww1 modelling is really now a thing, there is new stuff coming out all the time, new 3D printed stuff all the time too. Look forward to this 

So when I sanded down 50% of the interior of the tracked I stuffed up and added wrong tracks to each kit, and @Egilman pointed this out to me (I hadn’t noticed as I was probably a bit focused on the weathering), so I’ve been at work all afternoon and just got home after midnight and pulled them off and swapped them. 30 minutes of weathering the tracks tomorrow and I’m back on track. (He’s know, I’d know and it would just burn me up for stuffing it up. Thanks young man for saving me. Imagine if it was after I’d finished!!!

Dry brushed the tracks to bring out the worn bits and some rust wash 

The weathering process begins 

They do not fit well nor strongly. It came down to glueing them on piecemeal. I ended up with 2 spare links. Once I get some decals down it should accelerate nicely 

Now there is a special place in hell for the bloke that designed these tracks. 

Ok, I thought it would be lazy not to do one in the 3 tone camouflage.

dry fit. Should look good weathered, one OD and one Camo. 

Base coat of olive drab which was the US colour used for the Holts. I will now do about 3 graduating lighter shades then add a filter. My plan is to add the tracks before I add any more glue as apparently they are a nightmare to attach. 
 

they did 10,000 of these tractor for ww1! I recently saw a 3 tone camo in a magazine (it’s a what if as there is no reference so I may just do one of these in That scheme) 

Base coats 

Back to the Holt tractors. The injection marks on the inside of the tracks are massive. Primer coat them scrape back again, I’m not going to go to war with the inboard ones as you won’t see them .
