infofrog Posted February 3, 2015 Author Share Posted February 3, 2015 Thank you all I added some photo etch to the interior. There was one piece photo etch that goes over the dash dials , I did not like it . It just looked off , So i did not install . The original dash dials looks so much better . Enjoy Rick I also change the light cool warm bulbs to my home made photo booth , Install LED Daylight bulbs equal to 40 watts . that sure made a difference . 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

infofrog Posted February 4, 2015 Author Share Posted February 4, 2015 thank you This is a great model kit . Highly recommend . There is million options to convert this model into any humvee build .Live resin has so many options , but that can get costly very fast Also the Tamiya Jeep kits are very nice ..

infofrog Posted February 9, 2015 Author Share Posted February 9, 2015 My order for Legend ammo can came in today . Legend productions 1/35 ammo box set lf1039 . I was looking forward to these ammo cans . My kit only had the one ammo can for the main gun . I opened the box . The resin parts are not very good at all . I am very disappointed in this Legend kit . I can not recommend Ammo cans . I need couple , so have to do what I have to do . Hide the ends .. I do had two very nice ammo cans from a Tamiya add on kit . Also I sent an e mail to the company . I see what happens .. Enjoy Rick I guess these are handles . here is the ammo cans . Just upsetting .. There all like this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmcclure Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Thank you Here is my photo booth, its a first basic built ,( test booth ) . Next one will look better more refine Rick Nice light box, Rick. I built something very similar a few years ago but had lamps in the sides as well. You may want to give that a go as it will flood the subject with a lot more light and remove some of the shadows you get even with diffused light coming from the same direction. Cheers, Roger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

infofrog Posted February 28, 2015 Author Share Posted February 28, 2015 yesterday I painted the interior base Nato black .. Then lightly sprayed an over cast of tamiya metallic grey .. Tamiya metallic grey is there closest paint to steel color. This part is all new to me .. Today I took brush dap some water around interior , Then applied refined grain salt . Now when water drys ,i will paint interior Nato Green .. I hope this will show some wear down to steal or aluminum color . i may need to use some 1500 wet and dry sand paper to smooth out wear spots. I will see .. I maybe need to weather it more with oil treatment ... Not sure yet .. Enjoy Rick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
