Ok, to keep bandwidth down, I cut it up to a couple different pages. There are links above to all the interior steps, this page is the painting steps so far

Just a small update today. Painted up the tracks with a two tone metallic look, and also drove myself bonkers doing a light highlighting on the whole vehicle. Most of the white is also basecoating for other colors that will go on top.
All the stacked layers on the lower sides is time consuming to do properly. It doesn't help either that since there are areas of blended color, I need to constantly mix up different shades to highlight with. I haven't decided at this point what color to make the aquilla's on the side. That's for tomorrow.

I ended up going with a bit darker than normal Cadian scheme for this one. This is just the base coats of the camo scheme in place. Kinda bland looking so far, but there is a lot of paint work to do still. I also forgot to do the front compartment hatch before I put away the airbrush. I'll get to that tomorrow.
And a back quarter view of things showing how the top cab looks from the backside. Still more parts to add to the backside as well, so don't worry about the missing railing on the crew platform.

I've managed to get the interior of the armored cab painted up. I also used some various decals I had laying around to spice things up a bit. As you can't see much past the gun mounts anyways, I didn't really do anything in front of them
Here is the port side wall. The photography lighting brought the scraping and rust on the ammo loading tray out a bit more that it seems in person. Odd, what's that in the front there?
Hey, seems that the crew is hiding something a bit dark, aren't they? I just had the urge to put this in there, one of those fun little details that may never get seen but is still fun to point out to other people
