Creating Earth, Mud and Dust Effects to finish the Tamiya Panther D

In this final video of my Panther Tank series I show how I finished the Tamiya Panther D tank with light summer earth and mud effects, assembled the running gear and mounted the Panzerart resin tracks, added last details like the antenna from copper wire and polish the edges shiny with a graphite pencil and using other finishing techniques. After six months of building and painting I am very happy to finish this project and can now concentrate on building the diorama. I started with applying Vallejos Earth Texture and AKs dried sea grass to build up some volume for later mud and earth. On top of this I used AmmoMig Splashes Series Dry Earth and Loose Ground as well as AKs Summer Kursk Earth Enamel Products over a acrylic pre dusting with Tamiya Paint by airbrush. This was weathering the lower hull. The upper hull was made dirty with real earth and dried sea grass, fixed in place with VMS sand and balast freeze. Also dusting the scale model and bare metal parts was done, as finishing the model with last touches like creating an antenna out of copper wire, and adding last details like the tank jack on a wooden block and mounting the side skirts. I hope this step by step guide is helpfull for one or two of you and I can show some techniques for beginners and veterans. Please let me know what you think about it.
