Dragon 1:35 - Stug III Ausf/8 Late Production

Hi Spud, looks okay to me, but it's no fun when things don't go the way you wanted, that's for sure.

Actually it looks like the chipping fluid may have gone on a little heavy causing it to pool in places. I've done this a couple of times too, it sometimes makes the paint come off in blob-like shapes, if you know what I mean. It still looks okay, a good base for some more weathering.

Cheers
JT

thanks guys i will be attacking it in a little bit home alone for teh evening so ill have to get up and make my own coffie

[eastrock]

pass a cup please...

Now I have no excuse... I'm really ending up to a diorama

• Robots & Ma.k.> Sci-fi Category
• Vehicle (Tank, Car, Boat, Spaceship etc...) with a terrain covered base (with or without figure) > Diorama Category

If I removed the figure... can it end up in the Sci fi

[spud]

lol im sure you will figure it out. i need to send a mail and see where my parts are..

[spud]

Chris S gave me a nice ti[p over at sma last night and im loving how its turning out, it kind of gives the white was a chalky look to it. so its gone from really bad to awsome

[spud]

[TRM]

Great job on this so far spud!!! The mud splatter looks top my friend!!!

[spud]

thanks a lot guys.

bullardino i picked up some of my mud mix on an old brush and use the air from my airbrush to shoot trough the brush to creat the spatters, i dont hold down teh air but keep pressing so bursts of air come out, practice first

[406 Silverado]
