New Year New project  I needed some motivation to finish up some stuff and well the best way is to start something new Right ? Im not sure where this will go yet I started with the suspension and wheels and got that all ready,  Then i added some Texture to the Hull  Today I will be getting the Friul tracks drilled out and ready for assembly  |

Then i added some Texture to the Hull Today I will be getting the Friul tracks drilled out and ready for assembly Spud Sorry another one of my newbie questions! How did you add your texture to the hull? For a cast effect I've seen references to glue being painted on and allowed to soften the plastic before it is 'marked' by a wire brush! Thanks Andrew |

Looking good Spud! Did you use AM PE or was it part of the kit?

Post by spud on Jan 22, 2016 12:52:50 GMT -5
Pe was Part of the Kit and for the Rod bin i had that but dint fancy rolling the barss so i used a bit of styren tube i had and just used the rest of the bits to doll it up Andrew to do the texture mix some Tamiya Putty with some glue I used Humbrol liquid Polly then just dab it on in random patches some higher and some lower. once its dry sane it Fla and you will get the rolled texture. Since that pic was taken i sanded it again because that looked a bit odd as you can see in the newer photos it looks better Hope that helps you. I sorted out the suspension today and assembled the barrel. all that is left is to close it up and assemble the Track  |

It looks so sexy now with its gun on! I always thought Jagdpanthers are one of best looking machines...

That's real good looking rear! Better not let your wife see you writing things like that, or you'll end up living outside in the dog's old house! |
