[TRM]

Looking forward to seeing the Panda ER!! Fair amount of work, but, worth it!!

Thank you jackwagon!! Tiffany would probably be correct!! That feminine side I am in touch with ya know!!

Just about Prime Time!!!!!

[wbill76]

Looking good T! You're moving along pretty fast with this one, will be built in no time! Don't sweat the tracks, they have the advantage of being workable...just build them in "pairs" and then daisy-chain them together and you'll have 'em assembled in no time.

[TRM]

Thanks Bill!! Appreciate you stopping by!! With the SMA Big Spring Contest (Shameless plug), there is the 3 month time frame. So there is a bit of "speed" building. I fully intend on picking another one of these up at some point, they build up very nice! Thanks for the heads up on the tracks...seems to be the trick! Thinking I am ahead of the game a little, so backing it down here and there might be on the menu.


Still working on a few parts like the tracks and wheels, not to mention selecting base materials.

Did manage to bring some of this to prime time.









No too much but forward progress!! I will plug away on the small items and I am getting ready to start laying some base coats soon.

Thanks for having a LQQY!!

[eastrock]

Your already on prime... and I'm still stuck on detailing the chally!!! looks sharp, Agent T!!

[TRM]

Thanks!! LOL...very decieving ER! I am still adding a bit of wear to the road wheels and tires, trackassembly and a couple of smaller items. I will be lucky if I am able to lay some base paint down this weekend!

[johnt]

Hi T, this is going well mate! Good luck with the contest, though I don't think you'll need luck when you got talent! Cheers
JT

[406 Silverado]

wow, snuck that priming update in on me ey T. This is when it gets to be the most fun, paint soon to follow !!

[TRM]

You are too kind JT!! Thank you!!


LOL...thanks Rob! The fun is about to start!! Painting and weathering!!! Loooooong process but the best-es-test part!!

[eastrock]

the bronco tracks are quite time consuming, will be adding some wear and tear after I finished it, good thing your working towards with the base coating. still have to plan how to make the thermal pads and Barracuda Netting.

[TRM]

Thanks Mr. F!! Forward progression!!! A little colored paint this weekend possibly!!

ER, Sometime the Bronco tracks can get fiddly!! You are still right on track!!!

[gert.]

Hello T,

Nice subject mate !
Blow us away whit your exelent painting skills !
I (try) to follow.

Greetings,
Gert

[eastrock]

Thanks T, I hope I could do a bit more update today, already crossing my fingers. ;D

[TRM]

Glad to have you along for the ride Gert!!! Thanks BTW!!



Back at it tonight. I have some planning before I attack the paint work, but I was able to get a base coat to prepare for the paint work.

Some flat brown for starters.







Flat brown is a great starting point for any rusting.

Adding a touch of Orange to the Brown I filled in the empty areas and then added a little Deck Tan with a touch of Flesh color for highlighting.







Digging in, I will move forward on the track TINY buggers and distressing the rubber on the wheels too!

Always great to see you stopping by!!

[TRM]

Thanks Erik!! Glad you could make it Bro!!! Love this part of the build.....color starts to shape how the job will turn out....and I get to paint!!

[eastrock]

Now I see the picture T, another rusting masterpiece!!! you trickster!!! lol

BTW I thought you might get use of this

I got it from a fellow IPMS member book, called the German HT 1945 something and It caught my attention if my memory serves me right lol, I'm just a little lazy these days since a friend of mine set me up for a blind date to get me off the bench. I lost my mojo quite a long time ever since I restarted modelling again, if you remember our little talked lol

anyway to make the long story short, I just took it from my phone...

Might give you another Idea about TRM stuck in a Tree

[TRM]

LOL...more of a "slight of hand" ER, no tricks!

That pic is awesome!! Just about spit my water all over the computer...TRM Stuck in a tree!! I may have to re-think the build!! LOL Or buy another!!!

Ohhhh no....Blind dates? !! Women keeping you from the bench? Oh no, think your club friend is trying to sabotage you!! LOL!!!!!

[eastrock]

we still had 2 1/2 months of build time, you finish the kitten in less than 2 months... this one would be easy for you, not a lot of wreck the HT just stuck in a tree stump.

Can't think of something to name it, T that's why I put you first stuck in a tree, maybe Capt. Nautilus would think of something lol!!!

My friend thought I might try to touch oops or work a different model ROFL

[TRM]

I hear ya brotha'!! Enjoy the bachelor life while you still own it!!!

[eastrock]

I'm hanging on to it, Buddy!!! have to work later... will post some updates soon!!!
