OK, round 2 of the MERDC cam. This time with multiple layers of extra thinned paint to tighten up the over spray:

Going to go with a single colour desert scheme. It was painted OD, but turned out really dark, and I think hid alot of the nice moulding done by AFV Club on the Stryker upper, so I went with a Tamiya Wooden Deck Tan:

Thanks guys, I was trying for a very plausible WHIF here. With that in mind, I've tried to approximate the Canadian 3-tone camo of the cold war era (before NATO scheme and montone Green)

The blotchiness is part of the paint process and will disappear under a gloss coat / flat coat.

Thanks Brian...though my "talent" is really just properly thinned paint, a fine airbrush needle, and 2x reading glasses  :)

Right down to the colour, apparently! :icon_surprised:

Personally, Gingie, the wider tracks on yours look much cooler & more practical. 8)

Cheers fellas. Here's the final step before weathering. I'm actually going to shelve this one for a while, as I'm in the process of scrapping my current methods of weathering and want to suss out some new (to me) techniques.

Very nice.

Can I get a 1:1 scale model? There are days when I am stuck on the 417 (local Ottawa highway) and I could use this to remove a few rude and selfish drivers.
