C&WR Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 You must be very pleased with that, Dan! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dads203 Posted August 28, 2014 Author Share Posted August 28, 2014 So I've been tidying up the paint work, a bit more fading out of the green and some subtle changes to the black. It needs a bit more work but its slowly getting close to where I want it. More later Dan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dads203 Posted August 28, 2014 Author Share Posted August 28, 2014 Detail painting has started, the BCF Extinguisher's are the wrong shade of green and will require painting, they should be British racing Green or bronze green. Enjoy The TOGs sight lens was done using MIG Crystal Clear. AK mud effects sprayed over the running gear, these will get the pigment treatment as well.

Matt182 Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Beautiful work Dan. I rarely dabble in post WW2 armour but it's always nice to see excellent builds like this. Keep up the good work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dads203 Posted August 29, 2014 Author Share Posted August 29, 2014 Thanks Matt. So some pigment work on the running gear, And some resin cast lens used for the headlights I've also used for the first time the new MIG Crystal Acrylic colours and I'm impressed, Clear over black for the TOG's lens and the same for the inner IR headlights, the red was used for the rear stop lights and the reflector disc's. Green will be used for the periscopes. Cheers Dan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dads203 Posted August 31, 2014 Author Share Posted August 31, 2014 Track time, first time using this stuff, would I use it again... Probably not. AK track fluid, I had to use the whole bottle to get these to this state, you might be able to get two sets on a small tank but bigger stuff is pushing it. This is the result of two applications. Good enough for the base to start the weathering. Regards Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dads203 Posted August 31, 2014 Author Share Posted August 31, 2014 And the result of some oil washes to bring out the detail. Decals soon ! Dan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
