Tiger Models AMX-10 RCR Complete

Amidst a flurry of activity on the bench yesterday I've finally finished the AMX. Just shows what you can achieve if you pull your finger out and get into the zone. The base was first finished off with some plants carved from sprue before painting the green & earth tones. This was then followed by plant & stone painting before finally giving the grass a light dry brushing with yellow oil paint. 

The model was weathered with a variety of VMS pigments. The plan was to concentrate on the lower portion where most of the mud & dust would naturally accumulate with just a small amount added to the upper sections. Once happy with that I used various vallejo colours to add tiny splatters of paint to the lower sections. Finally the commander, antenna and gunners machine gun where added before mounting the model on the base.

It's been a rather protracted build but great fun nonetheless. The kit builds up really well and was great fun to paint too.
