WOW Todd, the office looks ferkin awesome brother!!!

[TRM]

Connor - Thanks bud! LOL...Can't all be complete wrecks can they?

Andy - Thanks!! Seems there is no exact coloring from what I have found. There is the base white for the walss and the rest is what the motor pool had I think. I like the red too! Seems this is the saftey color as all of the grab points inside and out are colored in the same mannor, except maybe a couple. But there is a cool contrast!

Bones - Thank you Sir! Covered the color part above with Andy...LOL...the firepowere is the roof mounted MG. I know there is a number of add-on items the users pick up for defensive purposes...smoke launchers, personal weapons...sure there are a couple with heavier stuff to! My version will be armed with MG.

Paul - Thanks a bunch!! Looking forward to you having your way with one soon!!!

Bruce - LOL...I was looking for the refridgerator...figured there would be a small one in there somewhere!!

Wouts -- Thank you Bortha'!! Appreciate it!!

Thanks Boss!! High on the Fun-factor meter this is!! (a bit Yada-ish there) I am really itching to get some color on the exterior!!

Pete - Thank you buddy!! I was thinking the same thing!!

Deano - Thanks for the support my friend!!

Gary - Thank you Sir...glad you like it!! Certainly is keeping the blood moving in the old fingers!!!

Chris - LOL...I was waiting for that one!! Thanks btw!! Looks like some fany masking is coming soon!!

Almost missed you in there Dicky...LOL...was posting!! I think you are correct sir. I have seen a number of manually operated MG's but remotes are most certainly in operation. There is the prototype R/C version with the D9N from what I read too...one of these R/C bring new meaning to fun in a mall parking lot!!

[DeafStuG]

TRM - WOW ! Great work progress.. Thanks so much for Info of glazing set. Thumb up !

[beast]

Great work there, interior is excellent and very precise!

[rondriaan]

Good progress on the interior its a shame that you see almost nothing off it when the doser is ready :-(

Just received the book and the kit today, take a look inside the box and a lot of spreu`s with fine detail :-)

[Leon]

WOW Todd,awesome painting on the office bro .that is looking really sweet.

[TRM]

Jeremy - Thank you Sir!!

Dicky - You are correct...I think it is for softening up the thicker targets no?

Beast - Thanks for the kind words!

Ron - Thanks...I hear you, I have test fit the roof and it does get dark in there...I know its there...LOL!! Plus I think the doors and hatch will be open on this one so if there were a "penlight" to protrude through an opening.... Nice!! The kit is packed!! You will enjoy!! The book is great to I thought! You might be able to see the inspirations on the interior showing through then!!

Leon - Thank you brotha'!! Appreciate it!!

[imatanker]

Nice T, very nice. A couple of candy bar wrappers and empty soda cans flung about and it will be perfect

[TRM]

Thanks Jeff! Still working out what I will do in there. I have a little time if I leave the top off I suppose!!

[danb.]

Fantastic work T the colouring in makes all the difference with a splattering of pigments it would not look too far off the real thang keep up the hard work buddy

Dan B

[TRM]

Thanks Dan! I started some dusty effects last night along with a couple of washes...shaping up I think! Should have some update pics tonight maybe.

[bigjohn]

PAINT!!!!!!!!!!

Looking mighty fine Todd!!!!!!!!!

[TRM]

Thanks a bunch there Brotha'!! Feels good to slap some color around!!

[wing_nut]

WOW T, that's some interior going on there. Really noce work.

[TRM]

Almost missed you there Marc...thanks a bunch my friend!!!

A little follow up from a day or so ago...

I played around with a couple of light washes.



After the quick wash(s), a little dusting was in order...









Once a little weathering goes on and the walls start going up things start blending together nicely I think.



Still working on the masking for the windows here, but the walls should still be attached later on today. I plan on leaving the roof off for as long as I can. I have a nice little IDF stowage set coming where I want add an item or two plus some other eye candy maybe.



This shows how tight it gets with the walls in place. Obviously will get a lot darker with the lid, but things are still visible. The tinted glass will really make things pop in the end I think!!

As always, thanks for playing along!!!

[venom1]

Have been watching quietly in the shadows for a while, but just had to say this looks freakin' sweet T!

Try as I might I just haven't been able to get into armour like I wanted to, but this dozer is the bees knees!!! Can't wait to see it come together mate, keep those updates comin'!

Cheers,

Sam

[Tobi]
