Dan, always happy to see ya drop in my brother! Had a busy weekend and probably wont do any modeling till tomorrow.  Well my MSC brothers, I had a pretty good day at the Lone Star Figure Show. Got to meet Dave Youngquist from Last Cavalry, what an awesome nice guy! Got to meet and hear the 30 year history of Andrea Miniatures from the Owner himself Carlos Andrea and see some of the best Figure painting in the world from Julio Cabos of Andrea Miniatuers. Lil ol' me won a Bronze for "Pierre", a Gold for my Befhelsjager 38 (Marder III) wich also won Best Armor!  If ya dont remember the builds, its these ones.      Of course i got some goodies at the Vendors Tables...not much but i did score a sweet Tamiya T-55 for $25.00! Thats right in my wheelhouse!  Ill get back to the bench by tomorrow im sure. Today....im still tuckered smooove out!!!  zzzzzzzzzz........... TOLD YA! |

Great stuff on there BroMan! Nice Patton...never seen it before. Phil - That was an old Italeri M-48 that Kyle had me build for a trade. He just wanted paint and a tiny bit of weathering and chipping...nothing more Only thin thats not OOB is the headlight guards, those were scratched, but thats it. It was a speed build i did awhile back and i dont even remember what kits i got for the trade. I didnt blog it either and didnt know he was gonna post it on his web site. Boots, Pete - Thanks my fine friends, i appreciate you guys. |

great stuff! Looks cool. And always impressed seeing you perform weathering on top of the dullcoat. I tried it several times, and though I was using the Abteilung turpentine sparingly, it still cuts through the matt layer from time to time :/
Cheers
