Tamiya M8 Greyhound Complete Build Part 2: Painting the M8 and Constructing a Display Base

The Tamiya M8 Greyhound is painted with Mig paints in the standard single color Olive Drab scheme. Paint highlights were added to vary the finish to simulate light shining on the M8. A pin wash, chipping and weathering were applied to the model to improve its realism. The display base was sized and scratch built specifically for the Tamiya M8. Each step of the painting process and construction of the display base is covered in the video.

thanks Steve! It was a build that just fell together. Sometimes we get a project that fights us but this one was smooth sailing start to finish.
