Step two completed.
All wheels touching down.
Had a look at the top deck and there a couple of sink marks that will need addressing so will be filled with some Mr Surfacer and then sanded.
Then I will start on the engine bay and see how it comes out, I'm hoping that even though the detail is soft that a bit of dry brushing will be enough to bring what there is in terms of detail out but if not then I could always leave the engine bay doors closed.
So best get that compressor fired up and start spraying.
I guess I better show you the paints/washes and pigments that I will be using throughout this build.
Xtracrylics....I know some of you don't get on with this stuff but I have to say that now I don't have a problem with it, it sprays well and has quite a smooth and tough finish, I use it's own brand of thinners.
Washes and filters
These are great and really help to bring the model to life as it were, depending on how this build goes will dictate how much time/effort I am willing to put into the weathering.
Pigments.
Use these all the time for armour, around the wheels, tracks and under tray but not just there will use these on top of the vehicle for dust and mud effects with the rust being used on mufflers and exhausts.
Other paints will be used but these are the main weapons of choice.

Mark
