Tamiya 1/35 Greyhound, Aber PE and Metal Barrel
robw_uk replied to robw_uk's topic in Work in Progress - Armour
Primed. Going with brown undercoat as suggested by TJ Haller who's OD paint jobs are rather good.... -
Interior primed... Not sure on the colour I will do the interior
-
got some balckening solution but if metal tracks are going to be a main part of my builds I need to find something cheaper... any household alternatives??
-
Eeekkkk...
-
Hope you get the interior primed this weekend... But update, plunged and ordered my first ever friul tracks... Also decided some blackening fluid might be interesting.... Couldn't be bothered to cut and clean 170+ tracks (of course there is a chance I have ordered the wrong pz IV tracks but think they are correct)
-
Replaced moulded wire for the mic with guitar string... Not sure how much will be seen....
-
It stands..... Well without a body and arms it does
-
thanks for the comment - I have already glued one foot - there is no mention in the instructions on weight - but it feels quite stable (and I will probably have this one quite upright). And on the Hughes 500 for upper half - thats interesting. I am probably going to do that light texture (it fits with the kit rather than the sourece) - and yes the side glass looks like it will be awkward to fit and then mask ahead of painting.... my first Ma.K - enjoying and having slightly "free rein" on the paint/finish is interesting
-
One leg done,.going to texture these quite heavily (rear lower leg and the 2 covers I need to add later will be lightly textured)
-
In a first for me I am going to try a MaK kit. The old Nitto Gustav... Going to add a bit of extra, some detail, some joint padding and maybe something the cockpit.... Slow start bug it's started
-
Thanks both, and yes Francis all that lovely detail hardly visible (can leave the transmission cover open and one hatch). I like to use these to practice my interior and weathering ..

Fighting compartment progression. Need to add some of the small PE then it's paint time

Cheers Francis, Tamiya one is typical Tamiya quality - any issues are my own making -
Started on panel lines. Don't think I will do much more than this on the weathering

Messed up the graduation markings in the turret, but doubt much will be visible. Hope to do some weathering soon...- 93 replies

Yeah think it is the sun... It is a mix of ammo and ak OD. The faded OD is more green/brown... For the outside I will use Ammo Atom OD and add a touch of green then lighten with old wood probably
