Finally...the AB and the KV got to meet up!!! ;D After finishing the fenders (had a bit of a hard time with the fiddly brass stuff...converted to white stuff!! ) I laid down some primer.... Jumped right to some shadowing... Started in on the tracks with some flat black!! Think I will let this dry up fro the night before proceeding!! Thanks for stopping by to take a peek!!

Cool bananas!! You might remember I built a KV2 few months ago, Aber fenders also. I had a bugger of a time bending those angles on the edge of the fenders!! I finally cut them into 3 sections to do it. You replaced them with styrene, why didn't I think of that!
Great stuff mate!
Cheers JT

Hey guys!! ;D Try to go in order here... Thanks rob! Thinking they will look OK once installed! HiYa Frank!! First there are never and stupid question....only stipid answers!! OK then, Yes I primed the tank! Think we all know that is so the paint work has something to bite into. Yes, I did shadow the piece. This was done for the next step soley. This may seem strange, but, it is all part of the layers that make this up. I have some...well.... , let say some base paint to go on next. ;D The shading will show through this. The additional paint levels after, will hide some of this , but in some ways it will show through. that probably didn't help very much!! I will have an update tonight maybe and by friday, it may be clear Have at it Chris!!! I can see you popping one up in a nice little Dio!!! Appreciate the kind words JT! Loved your KV2!!! If this turn out 1/10 the tank left in the woods you had....I would be a happy man!!! Funy too, thought to scratch 1st, when cutting them would have worked just as well too!! ;D

Got a chance to sit down for a couple minutes after my daughter's basketball game tonight! Here is what has transpired..... The Rust colored base is about 4 different sprays and then a darker shadow mix, all Tamiya, shot over in some areas. I hope it make some sense soon!! Also got some base down on just about everything else too....except 1/2 the wheels and only gave the tracks a clear coat for something else I need to do tonight! Thanks for tuning in!!!

I'm tuned in my friend ! Certainly now the painting part started. I like what you've done so far, there's a bunch of depth in the different paint layers. It makes sense already. Giv'em hell T !

Very nice T! Love your fender work. Paint is interesting so far, I'm curious to see what you've got in store!
