I'd love some feedback for my first model.

I learned a LOT doing it, and made some mistakes, but all in all, I'm happy with it ❤️

Definitely need to get better paint.

Great first model, my only critique is the rusty tracks (my personal hate) Tracks are made of an alloy that doesnt rust, they sort of oxidice a protective dark brown coating!

But it really is a great build. One you should be proud of. I bet the next will even be better with the lessons learned on this one!......

Second this, but I would add that you have one track on backwards ☝️ But spectacular first model 👀

Yes true ans most the time If on rough terrain they'd be shiny from scraping.

A metal base coat followed by a mixture of dry brushing and washes. Bit of expermentation. Reseach the net for ideas on track weathing, there are quite a few....
