Hi Rob......thanks.....the seats were covered in the foil part of a Kitkat wrapper. It's really thin and lay's down easy with cryo. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamden Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Looking good under paint, particularly like the effect you achieved with the seats Stay safe Roger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redcoat2966 Posted April 19, 2020 Author Share Posted April 19, 2020 Morning all. I hope we all find ourselves fit and healthy today.......switched projects and back on the Blitz. Got up early this morning and tackled the figure. Not my fave, but I think it needed a figure at the wheel. Next steps are the button up the doors and roof. Have a good rest of the day chaps.... 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robw_uk Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 superb - love the grey engine cover as contrast. And the figure is great - whats your technique as I have 2x for my Type 16 to do 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

f matthews Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 (edited) Looking good-excellent tonal modulation and wood effects. I don’t know that I’d want to be in an open-topped vehicle with those rockets though! I know they mounted them on 251s, but there’s a LOT of blast out of the back of those things! Fritz won’t be asleep long... Edited April 20, 2020 by f matthews 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasper dog Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Looking real good Simon, particularly like the wood effect on the bed, amongst other things. Herman has a bit of character too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's one thing I don't use, and that's black. You're always best to make dark shades out of very dark blue with a dark brown. Use this to darken the colour you've chosen for the clothing etc............ There's actually no such colour in nature as black....it's a tone. I did look up on the web on tips on painting face's though...... That's something I have to keep practicing.......but as you can see, all my hard work is hidden......, ......even with his windows wound down...

The Russians must have captured a lot of German rockets to build a specific thing to fire them from......I'm still trying to figure out how the German mobile workshop would have secured it in their version..... 11 hours ago, Jasper dog said: Looking real good Simon, particularly like the wood effect on the bed, amongst other things.

Well, here's where she sit's.........next step will be chipping and then streaking, dust/mud and pigment shading.......Decided to have the windows down so as to be able to see Herman the German a bit better.....might change the clear part though to a thinner material. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasper dog Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Just keeps getting better and better. What approach did you take for adjusting the steering angle, cut, drill and pin? Cheers Darryl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
