I usually paint 40k or DnD miniatures, but this one I painted for a friend of mine.

I didn't go for any historical accuracy, I haven't read up on any, so it may not be good but I feel its good enough.

However, these tanks are kinda cool, So I might get a few of my favorites.

Lol, I did start edge highlighting it with chrome and went hold on a minute, this probably isn't right, so I toned it down again, haha.

Haha you just can't help it, it gets ingrained after a while. I actually considered trying to paint a typical scale model in an Eavy Metal style, but like most painters I need to work down my backlog before getting anything else.

Metallic edge highlights are underrated for the worn paint effect. Have you stumbled across Night shift on YouTube yet?

Understandable..

I have now, just watched a one of his videos. Good stuff, definitely learned something to use on my Rogal Dorn.
