can't wait to hit the bench full time next month.

Now that's what i want See Rob getting busy with plastic and paint.

[406 Silverado]

Slow at first Spud...

Found my bench this morning, buried under misc stuff. There was the Pershing sitting there waiting to be worked on. Soooo I did a bt of rust chipping, paint fading and will give her some pin washes today. Need to charge some batteries so I can take some piccies to post up.

If I have time I will aslo give the T-62 and JP a wash as well.

[406 Silverado]

still haven't charged them ...

Just got back to the bench and am doing some weathering on the Pershing hull. Will take pics later jackwagon.

[406 Silverado]

oh my...... my bench has never looked this bad. I really need to clean up before going further.



Anyhoo I did get some washes on the Paershing and T-62 and they are now dry. Next the JP will get a good wash and maybe filter and set aside to dry. Next I'll play around with weathering the Pershing lower hull...and the T-62.











I'll have some pics of the T-62 next update.

[406 Silverado]

Thanks jackwagon. Just did some enamel weathering to both, and now they have to dry a bit before more is done, including streaks.

[deafpanzer]

Jeez, I have to clean the mess... I hate it when I drool too much... it happens every time I look at your latest work. Good to have you back building!

[406 Silverado]

LOL thanks Andy, feels good bro even tho it's an hour here and there at the moment.

Rob, I'm speechless! That Pershing is just plain jaw dropping work bro!

[406 Silverado]

Thank you kindly fellas. I didn't get the bench time yesterday I thought I would have, but did do some chipping on the JP. Will do a bit of dry brushing on the JP today. Yep dry brushing, old school but still works for some things.

[spud]

Fantastic Rob, oh don't forget to update the Knocked out jp in the sbs yer ment to be doin ;D

[Deleted]

Amazing, The chipping effect is sooooo to scale! This is the holy grail of what I am striving for,well done!

[noname]

That is looking great Rob. I think I'd actually hurt my toe if I kicked that turret. ;D

[bullardino]

Great job, as always, Rob

Your works are a true inspiration, actually they make me want to have some bench time

BTW, if you think your desk is a mess, wait to see mine

[406 Silverado]

LOl cheers fellas and thanks for checking the buckets out.

Spud, yep, have to remember to update that.

[multicam]

Looks great, Rob. I love the texture you've achieved. Looks as though you could feel it in the pics:)

[406 Silverado]

Hey Nate, thanks bro.

FINALLY got to clear my room and bench. Now I can find the models again..LOLOLOL. Doin a bit of chipping on the JP then onto a different model. Will post pics ...eventually when I get a chance.

[406 Silverado]

Thanks Boo.

Got to spend a couple of hours at the bench, after cleaning the room out so I could get in there. Worked on three models. Besides the chipping on the JP I aso added some weathering to the M26 lower hull and some chipping and minimal weathering layers to the Shermie. And a wash to the T-62 wheels.
I figure if I had another hand I could work on at least two other models.. ;D ;D

[406 Silverado]

Just to show that I actually did some work at the bench, some pics. Very slow progress right now, but they are getting there.






Lower hull will get worked on next, then I'll start the burnt areas.



M26 lower hull. Added an AK DAK wash, then light weathering with K rain marks. Next will be some streaking etc with acrylics. I'll be switching from enamels to acrylics, then enamels again. This is so the layers of enamels don't interact with each other.



Will try to get more done this morning if I can, then post some pics tomorrow, have to go some where today.

[406 Silverado]

Oh yeah, the acrylics will be from Lifecolor, thanks Airbrush Co. for the review sample.

[TRM]

Looking superb Boss!!! Just getting lost in all the great color here!! Have fun today !!!

[406 Silverado]

Thanks T, colorful eh...lol

[spud]

Very nice Rob, good to see you get some Bench time

[TRM]

LOL...yeah, in a rusty, burnt, beat up kind of way!!

[406 Silverado]

LOL The best way eh T.

Did some work on the Shernie today. Mainly added some paint both desert color and faded green to the lower hull. just now added a wash and effects. Will let this all dry before I continue on that area. I also painted the bogies and wheels, applied a wash and this too has to dry.

Will add some effects or streaking to the T-62 lower hull and smoke/soot to the JP.

[Deleted]

Love the colours going on in your builds, truly leading the way there boss
Good to see them on the move again

[406 Silverado]

Hi Steve and thanks.

Well I found my way to the work bench and after a bit of clearing and making room, I did some work. Man does it feel great to play with paints again.

The queens are lined up and ready fr their turns at the bench, meanwhile a collection of wheels waiting to be mounted, which some now are.





First to hit the bench was the Sherman. Applied some AK DAK effects and then Afrika pigs. Wheels have been glued on as well now the the lower hull is basically done.



The JP got another light misted coat of soot.



Applied some more streaking to the lower hull of the M26 and dry fitted the wheels. return wheels need to be done and then glued on.







I have 5 or 6 models that are at the same stages of painting and weathering and by working on several at once gives me time to work on each while letting paints, oils and effects dry before continuing with more layers. I don't get much bench time so I do as much as I can when I can.

Back to the bench for more. This time the Panther and T-62.

[TRM]

Back into the ring...swinging!!! Too cool bro!! All are looking bad a$$!! Keep the fires lit!!
