Lee Chambers Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Hi all, here is the final reveal for the TB Mole vehicle. I made the base from an old diecast model floor, and covered it in some cork. I found some styrene rock base from a submarine kit I had not used and covered the remainder of the area in body filler and dusted some Citadel dead grass over whilst it was still curing. Then I padded it down with some kitchen foil. This gave a convincing ground effect, I finished it off with a bit of shading and dry brushed the stones with AK dust effect enamel wash. Flory pigments were brush over the ground and lock in place with Hataka Matt clear. For the Mole I used some Molotow liquid for the screw which was 2k clear coated. AK Star ship filth wash gave the grime and dirt effects and dry brushed with Mr Color Super Metallic 201 silver. Overall I think it turned out pretty FAB. Paints used Tamiya Mr Color AK enamel washes Flory pigments Hataka matt clear Thanks for looking and your comments in advance. 26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete in Lincs Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Lovely and grimy. Just how it should be after the rescue. Love the explosions in the background too. That's what we watched Thunderbirds for! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kallisti Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Nice build from (IMO) a rubbish kit I much prefer the Aoshima Mole kit which is slightly larger and better detailed, but you've done an excellent job on this one and I love the base! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
