Hi there I’m new to this sort of thing so bare with me.
I’ve been modelling now for quite a few years but due to marriage, kids etc I,ve not been as active as I would like.
Three things I have never been happy with concerning my modelling skills are all in the painting and finnishing department.
Tracks: whats the best method for realistic finnish.
Rust: Whats the best paints, mix etc.
And has anybody know of a good source for pics of exhausts for reference .
Thanking you in advance.[:D]

As far as exhausts go, you are better of concentating on each individual vehicle. If you want to know about the Panzer III exhaust, it would differ greatly than say the Sherman as far as weathering goes. So if you could narrow that focus just a little bit.
wellcome to the forums Ken
Nice t’have you with us, Ken.

Welcome Ken. You came to the right place for advice. The thread for the tracks that Robert gave you is what I tried and had them come out pretty good.
