Given the cartoonish nature that I was looking for, I felt the straight Olivgrun was too dull. ![]() ![]() The yellow helped to lighten the colour and brighten it up. Using rolled up Blu Tack as a mask, a mix of Ammo Olivgrun and Yellow is applied. I wanted to build up a basic ambush scheme on the body of the tank.

I did, however, seem to have missed the boat with this, as I have seen a few in this style popping up on the internet, so a change of plan was required. I guess the most obvious cartoon-like interpretation on this model is to paint Tiger stripes on it…and that was the direction I was initially going to take.
