moondrome Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 Hi, I had this model in my stash for more than one year, I finally decided to give it a go. I'm building the cabin the only modification I did so far is the two red buttons near the wheel as I have seen while looking for reference 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moondrome Posted June 19, 2021 Author Share Posted June 19, 2021 hi, after a few days of getting used to mosquitoes and hot weather , I'm back on the modelling bench. here's some updated photos first step: base color is a mix of tamiya olive green and IJN gray, then some liquid mask second step: main color is tamiya olive green. I added some dark shadows with very thinned black , and to make the scratches less obvious I airbrushed over a very thin layer of Khaki+ olive green 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moondrome Posted June 29, 2021 Author Share Posted June 29, 2021 thank you for the encouraging comments I really appreciate ! after watching a few tutorials I started painting the first figure. I'm not expert on painting figures and though there's always space for improvement I'm quite happy on how this one turned out . base colors were tamiya airbrushed ( flat flesh, khaki for the vest, and olive green for pants). details with vallejo colors. and a dark brown oil wash for the vest. as maybe you can see I added two brass tubes for the rigging. the nylon thread I had was two thin and I couldn't glue it on the holes 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharpscale Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 Great paint job. The red bandana on the figure adds so much to the overall build. Where did you pick the kit up from? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
