The Idea for this one is simple knocked out and Abandoned some place in Iraq or Afghanistan, the Engine will have been removed for spares over time so the engine bay will need to be made  this will be my biggest Etch job to date but i don't need all of the etch for this one. I mainly want the fenders and storage bins , there is some detail parts that will be used tough. well most of it   and just to Give an idea of where it is i have this chap on the way  Ill also be using Fruils on this once Armor models has them in after Christmas  |

Looking real good... hell yeah it looks pretty accurate-ish!!! LOL Let's make a deal... I will raise your karma each time you use up the entire sheet of PE. So you have a potential of getting 11 extra points. Thought I'd help to make things more exciting, right buddy?

Post by spud on Dec 19, 2012 17:01:16 GMT -5

they spray fine out of the bottle but are a bit on the runny side for the the hairy tool. i have the life color set also and tbh there isn't a lot of difference between them but the LC paints and more brush friendly.
i like both tough

Alighty. Added 2 coats of chipping fluid letting each coat dry before the next. Then i mixed up a bluish gray and let that sit while i clean the ab out, once that was done some warm water and stiff brushes and rubbed around to get some chipping.  once that was dry i went on added some streaking with AK products and Pigments  Detail painting is done with Vallejo paints, And some close ups of the Finished engine comp    |
