Thought I'd venture over here to the dark...German side and see what's up.
She's getting there Bill. Looks sweet, and of course very clean building brother.

Thanks Rob! You've got to come out of the KV bunker every once in a while or your skin will start to turn green! |

Crisp details, love it so far ! The paint stage/weathering stage will be very interesting to me.

Andy, I knew you wouldn't be able to resist for long! Rob, did get some paint down yesterday working on some of the details but not enough to warrant an update. Stay tuned for later today though!

Dicky, thank you sir! More paint to follow...see below! As promised, paint work was the order of the day for this latest round of progress. Figuring out when and how to paint things is important with this vehicle given its somewhat unique design characteristics with that mesh back end to the fighting compartment. I decided to go ahead and paint only the interior of the fighting compartment, the exterior of the mesh areas, and the gun and mount in this round. First up was the application of a primer coat by airbrush using MM Italian Dark Brown.  After that had dried, the base coat went on using the same 50/50 Dunkelgelb/Light Gray mix used earlier on the hull interior. The gun and mount are dry-fit only and will remain separate until the camo pattern is on to make it easier to avoid paint over-spray issues in the fighting compartment.  Since I already had the airbrush loaded up with primer and the DY mix at various points in the day, I took advantage of that and painted the road wheels. They were primered at the same time as the vehicle and then the rubber rims were airbrushed with MM enamel Gunmetal while still on the hubs. Once that had dried, I removed the outer rubber tire and used a circle template to mask the hub and avoid getting paint on the rim since they are too tight to tolerate any paint interference with the rubber rim going on. Hubs were airbrushed with the DY/LG mix and then the rubber rims put back in place.  Rounding out things, I worked on some of the fighting compartment interior details. The crew seat cushions were hand painted in a multi-step process. First a base coat of MM enamel Gunmetal was applied, then I dry-brushed several layers in the order of MM enamel Leather, some of the DY/LG mix, another Leather pass, and then a final very light layer of the original enamel Gunmetal. I also applied some Black artist pastels in a couple of spots to even things out a bit. The kit-supplied gas mask containers were installed as well along with the jack block and holder. For the jack block, I added some wood grain texture to the block since Bronco molded it smooth using the point of a square needle file to score the plastic and then lightly sanded it down. The block was base coated with the DY/LG mix, then given a light wash of MM enamel Leather to bring out the grain texture.  The interior and gun will be allowed to thoroughly cure before moving on their weathering stages as the next step.

Thanks BJ! Given the fact that there's some delicate stuff in the form of the camo loops and tie-downs for the outside of the compartment walls, I decided it would be better to paint and work on the interior first to reduce the chance of knocking stuff loose while handling. The fun indeed begins! Tony, yes sir, the latest leg is off and running...or something to that effect. |
