3/21/2010 - And after a few weeks of no updates, it's finished. I adjusted one of the figures so his arm could hold binoculars, which I made from some leftover aircraft parts. Up top the weathering is black wash with a touch of chalkdust rust on the welds. Down below the weathering gets heavier. The feet are done with a mix of brown / black / ochre chalks mixed in dullcote.
