My first completed vehicle for Gruntz. I like the tank itself very much. Great mini. I'm happy with the paint job with exception of the treads. I think I may paint them a dark gray but am somewhat undecided. Thoughts and opinions always welcome. Attachments:

Clean and simple. I am thinking of using dark grey on my treads and then covering with weathering washes and pigments to tone it down. Heck, I should go paint now instead of wasting time on the internet  |

+1 on painting the treads a dark grey, it will really help to "finish" the tank off and make it look complete, painting the flats of the bogeys a dark rubber color would not go amiss either.
Your camo job looks aces, a few final details will take this one from nice to great.

I've painted the treads dark gray and am very pleased with the results. I need you to help me out though...What are "bogeys"? |

Well, the bogeys are technically the return wheels that the "top" of the tread (the part not touching the road) rides on to get back around to the road.
All you can really see on your model are the road wheels, the flats of which could also stand to be a darker color, or even a raw steel color.

Looking good. The treads could go dark as suggested above with a light drys brush of silver, followed by more ink to wash some brown muck onto them.

This was a great model. I'm about finished with it and I'll post some pics when I do. Keep pumping out the designs brother.

Uncanny, I was literally JUST looking at this model at the rebel minis website before comming here. I think I like a lot of their sculps, but the paintjobs on their website let them down a bit and I wasnt sure if I should get any of them (I want to make a nazi zombie horde for gruntz).
Might just go ahead and buy some now, as this looks pretty damn nice mate.

Here is an updated pic. I think painting the treads was the way to go. Attachments:
