I don't have too many probs with them, it's just that I end up with too many on the bench when I'm on a roll with the weathering. I usually line them up more to the rear on the bench, but that day I had too many scattered and stepped away from the bench for a bit. When I got back to the bench I forgot that I had the cap on the one resting on it and not screwed on.

Hopefully bench time today. Been doing some mock ups of the KV on a CW base.

[bigjohn]

Woooooo, Gotta see that mock up on the CW base. I'm in the middle of painting a CW base also.

A bit slow off the mark with this one- but now I found it- Wow.
Lovely work as always Rob
This is my kind of paper panzer ;D
i.e. something that might have actually existed.

[406 Silverado]

The base was just a thought but the tank might be too big for it. sorry.

I was gone all day yesterday so not much to show. I did some weathering on Friday and very late last night (1am) I added more earth effects. But I dare not look at it right now because I think I got carried away it might look like crap

Here is a shot of the fuel / oil staining.

Hi Rob, another one here guilty of knocking over one of those plastic AK bottles! Ah well $het happens ;D

Mate that KV looks awesome!! It's coming along beautifully, lots of variaty in the base colours and weathering really adds to it.

Cheers
JT

[406 Silverado]

Hey JT, thanks bro.
I took a look at the lower hull........will have to re do the earth effects. Everything is way too dark.

[macmcconnell.]
