Hi Fellas, Thanks fellas! Captain Cave Man? I have definatley ressembled that remark, Club and all! especially back in my ridein and partyin days! ;D Got another update this evening. I have built the throat mic, attatched the bag w/strap, canteen, and a antenna. I may replace the antenna with stretched sprue to have the tapered look to more resemble the real one. Ill probably make a small buckel for the bag strap too. Ill have her wrapped up by next update. Im negotiateing a trade with a fella for a Kubelwagon w/desert tires set to possibly add to the plans, which would mean another figure or two. well have to see how that all pans out as to whether i start back on the Rommel or move on to a new build in the meantime. Anyways, heres where im at now.  By bbd468 at 2012-06-20  By bbd468 at 2012-06-20  By bbd468 at 2012-06-20  By bbd468 at 2012-06-20 Thanks for looking gentlemen! Gary |

Hello Fellas, Well im gonna call it done for now. Its not 100% complete but waiting to see what happens with the kubelwagon trade and possible extra figures, im going to shelf it for a while and move on to something else, an easy breezy build. Im going to start the Tamiya 1/48 M-4 Sherman "Hurricane" on D-Day+. Not sure if i can come up with the wadeing stacks as im pretty busted for cash, but well see. Anyways, here she be one more time.

Gary, that is one awesome build and a excellent finish. It just goes to show that modelling on a budget achieves fantastic results, silk purse and sow's ear comes to mind, something I think we can all take from this build. I love it, mate. Cheers R:) Hey Richard, Thanks for the nice comment. Instead of a silk purse ill think of it more like a nice pair of boots from a Gator's tail. ;D |

Oh that looks wonderfull, may I ask what paints/technique you used for the wood on the guns? They look fantastic. Hi merseajohn, No problem man. I base coat my rifles with Vallejo Panzer Aces Old Wood and of course the metal is painted black. I then take a very sharp dark brown colored pencil and draw wood grain on. I then seal that with Vallejo Matt. Once dry i paint a coat of Burnt Sienna oil paint. After that i set the rifles aside a few days while working on something else and when the oil paint is pretty dry ill take a dry Q-tip/Cotton bud And gently wipe from front to back till i like what i see. I will then seal it again with Vallejo matt. Then ill give it the old graphite treatment and VOILA!!! Thanks for the kind words too! Gary |
