[Leon]

Thanks Luigi,much appreciated.Started painting the camo should have some pics up later.

[wbill76]

And we have green! You know you're a dedicated modeler when you will drive an hour for paint instead of waiting for a mail-order delivery. Nice update Leon!

[bigjohn]

Looks great with paint on Leon!! looking forward to the weathering.

[Leon]

Thanks Bill,i got tired of it looking at me and saying i need paint now .Believe it or not,mail order was supposed to come Monday,it got here today.
Go figure.


John much appreciated.Got some camo on this afternoon,will finish it in the morning.Don't know what i'm going to do about weathering yet.

[fightnjoe]

this blasted bear though is starting to get irritating.

Nice camo looks very smart

[Leon]

Pete,thank you kindly.Glad to have you drop in for a look.

[TRM]

Nothing wrong with that at all!! Sweet work on the camo Leon!! Looks like this will be a fun one to weather up....if you don't poke your eye out with that barrel...best you wear some safety glasses!!! Well done!!

[Leon]

Thanks T,that is good to hear coming from you.Very much appreciated.Still thinking how to weather this.

[Leon]

Hi fellas,went over the camo this morning,and started to do a little detail painting on the tools.Forgot to pick up a few colors i still need.This is how she looks so far.
Took these pics outside,it is a little cloudy out,but i think they came out really good.BTW tracks are test fitted

Hey Leon...this is looking good fella ...To my way of thinking,these long range sniper thingies wouldn't get too chipped/weathered,although they might get a bit muddy in transit between firing positions.
Just my 2 penn'th....Ole Redleg might have some better ideas,if he was on SPG's

[Leon]

Thank you CB.Well appreciated .Your right about the chipped and weathered part .I looked at a lot of images and they are dusty or slightly muddy.

[Deleted]

I tell ya Leo,those Long range snipers are almost OCD about there gear!!!

[Leon]

CB forgot what OCD means.Old age i guess.

[TRM]

Daylight shots really make that pop!! Even better!! OK, this will give me a little sting to say this Leon but I am siding with CB on this one!! Give her a nice filter to tone things a bit and maybe a pin wash to make the raised features pop. You could dirty the tracks but leave the rest!! She wouldn't be beat up too bad at all!! Oddly enough I am liking the "parade look" too!! Well done!!

[Deleted]

JEEEEZ!!! Tobias.....you sickenin' for summat??? or what?...Agreeing with me on weathering?..I better charge consultancy fees!!!

[TRM]

I'll pay the freight!! LOL!! This one has a great look clean!! Yeah, I said it again!! Not to worry, I will break Leon down over time...he will wreck something sooner or later!!!

Don't we all? Not ALWAYS on purpose.
