Don't worry. The council probably has a 25pdr which will sort it out! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M3talpig Posted July 9, 2020 Author Share Posted July 9, 2020 Good morning everyone..... Been a long night of very enjoyable painting and weathering (always my favourite part of any build) and here are the results. Still got the interior of the ruin to do but i'm still not sure whether to do it a private interior or comercial .... The building looks very governmental but so does every large building in Cologne lol. The Willys Jeep turned up and work has begun on that (pics to follow).Once the build on the Jeep is done i will do the stowage on both vehicles at the same time. Any way here you go, as i said still much to do. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards, Steve Thanks so much Steve...yes i have to say it really has turned out well so far, no major problems and the cobble road certainly made disguising the seam much easier as did the rubble. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullbasket Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 That is superb. The work that you have done on marking out the cobbles and the ruined building are only surpassed by your excellent paintwork. Nice work. John. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M3talpig Posted July 9, 2020 Author Share Posted July 9, 2020 so much John...... getting to grips with airbrushing again has been a lot of fun, The wife asked what i would like for my birthday as it's not far of now so i said i would like a SATA pro......found out this morning she ordered it from our local stockist.....can't wait to use it as all i have at the moment is a cheap Chinese one...

Jasper dog Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 You aren't helping! I've ordeal a 1kg bag of Plaster of Paris, if I end up with no base created, no modelling done and encased in a plaster sarcophagus I'll know who to blame, and I'll have left a note of it, just in case!!!!

M3talpig Posted July 12, 2020 Author Share Posted July 12, 2020 The Willys jeep is basically done just stowage to do on this and the Sherman......only mods to this nice little kit were the alterations to the steering rack so i could display with the wheels turned slightly...and the windshield cover made from AK Greenpower putty...there are parts that i would like to have detailed more but as this vehicle is going to be swamped in stowage most of that detail would have been completely hidden. Really enjoyed this one and am looking forward to doing a few more. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullbasket Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 You've done just enough to that Jeep to make it look as though it's seen some service, but hasn't just come off of the production line. Nice work. John. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Don't ask how I know) Roger I won't and thank you bud...... i'm managing to keep my enthusiasm under control but as you know you can see in your mind's eye the end product and it's difficult to reign in the desire to look upon the job done..... and i must admit that every now and then i look at how much has to be done and feel a little bewildered so i have to stop and prioritize the list of jobs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
