Here are some pics of how I've progressed-

Metallic base coat using Mr Metal, lacquer tint paint and Copic markets for the metal discoloration effect.

After the first few coats of lacquer paint.

Also, hand painted ID number. 

The lacquer upper coat pulls the lacquer burnt umber tint out (seen below). Then Copic marker for colour variation.

First oil (slurry) wash. Just a mix of burnt umber, payne's grey and ochre. 

Close to done. Now decals, touch up and more weathering.

Made a simple hinge for the my resin Gladiator's engine cover. Also, constructed a fan to fit under the cover's screen using a Wave and Nitto Gustav engine cover and fan.

Picked this build up maybe two years ago.... clearly it needs some TLC. While I work on the Fboot, I'm surerly going to want to paint something.

After I cobble it back together, I'll prime it with Army Painters gun metal primer. No plans yet for paint scheme though.
