Hello All, Just like the title suggests.....yup, it's Luigi's fault this time. I know, I know, well all go through are busy days blaming Chris S. for a multitude of items but this comes solely from the Mediterranean region!! After posting a taunting picture on my FB page....which seems to be becoming the norm as of late, I could not help myself. I grabbed a turret off the shelf Saturday and made some modifications and then spent the day yesterday...paint, hair spray, salt, paint , hair spray, salt, paint, hair spray, salt, paint..............  This is where I stand!!! First the antagonizing pic....... For discussion purposes only:  That was all that was needed to help ease the "paint" fix I was craving. First there was a little modification of the KV I turret I had.  A little prime.....  Now some fun stuff.   After a quick seal it was time to add some texture to the piece.     Another seal fest and it was on to the first of about four rounds of Hair Spray and Salt.    Oh yeah, used a ton of salt this time...had to check my blood pressure when I was done...   I omitted about 6 steps here in an effort to not bore everyone too much with my uncontrolled fits of painting withdrawal. There was 5 separate times I added salt ans back and forth with different colors.        I have a little clean up and just got finished cutting a mini base for this....should be done soon!! ;D Thanks for stopping by!!! Oh yeah.....thanks a bunch Luigi!!! ;D ;D ;D |

Beautiful T-
and exactly the kind of project I would like to be working on... if I knew what to do with a turretless KV.
Great stuff!

Great one, Todd  It does really look the real thing. When I first saw the picture I saw Todd written all over it, and it looks like it was true Ah, btw, do you have a T-70? |

Luigi - LOL....Thanks bud, even if it's your fault!! ;D And no, thankfully I do not have a T-70!! LOL!!! Trying to kill me over here!! Thank you G!! You are too kind!! Check out below.... Thanks Steve! Sometime those left over part work out!! Of course now I have the KV Base without the top...but it's all good!! Most appreciate Paul, thank you!! Well, had to mount this!! Cut a small base last night, gave it a love and then put this to bed!! The piece added with some wood and some Silflor Buffalo Grass.  Next I got to dig into one of my boxes of Armor Farm.  I had to laugh, because this stuff should last me forever seeing from the amount that is used. First I separated some section of one stock.  Then using a little PVA stick-em!!   I think it was just enough. I know the original pic had no colored flowers but this add a hint of interest.    And that is that! Sorry for not having the T-70 in there Luigi...better luck next time my friend!! Thanks again for hanging out for a bit!!!! |

Luigi - LOL....Thanks bud, even if it's your fault!! ;D And no, thankfully I do not have a T-70!! LOL!!! Trying to kill me over here!! Great result in a very short time The flowers are small but really add to the realism The T-70 I'm talking about is the one in the back, that has a large hole on the front/side hidden in this picture Just teasing |
