And it is all done! Painted with AK Real Colors Gelboliv thinned with Mr Leveling Thinner, an excellent combination.

I’ll get a thread up in the completed section to show more of the build.

BOOM chakalaka...don’t know where that came from. Nice work.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Will be looking forward to the finished photos. So did you complete it within the 12 hours?
March as one, Don't look back
Odin's sons... Attack!
Unleash hell! Do not repent! Warfare grants us no lament
Let your weapons slash and tear This is no place for fear
Hold the lines! Move as one! In unity our victory's won
Our shields will form a mighty wall
United we shall never fall

Yes I did. I actually had about 10-15 minutes to spare on each of the last two sessions, so actual time spent was 11:30 hrs - 11:40 hrs.

That's one of the best interpretations of Gelboliv I've seen thus far. Very convincing. Not only in tone but also the texture.
Also a very cool build, Carlos! Se forma Dshörman soldcha appruves.

Thank you Torben! Such compliments from a guy who’s seen these things up close for real, that means a lot to me!
I tried the same approach with my last Leopard a couple of years ago, but it did not turn out near as nice on the Gelboliv base coat.
