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

Thank you, I'll try it

[spud]

Very nice work Spud, glad you stuck with it. She's in the MoM buddy.

[spud]

thanks Rob glad i did too it turned out Way better than i was thinking it was going too

[406 Silverado]

Like I told you, it was the layers and just going forward. You can never ruin a model completely. And it's only plastic so it's all up to the modeler to sit back and take a second look at things.

Very glad you stuck with it Spud. Am sure you learned a lot with this one eh.!!

[spud]

oh ya defo but no doubt ill be pming again because i have a sive for a brain ;D

[406 Silverado]

hmm I miss the styrker build, Spud!!! the details are nice... but it would be better if you put it on the bench lol

Just finish on the road... will be mixing mud for the lower hull or a camo either way, I have to go the LHS for Vallejo bright green and Grey slate pigment.
