Returning (somewhat) from a fairly long absence. Wanted a project that I could get to the painting stage with fairly quickly, and found this 75% built in my stash. Spent the evening finishing it,and gave pre-shading a go for the first time. Here's pics of how it currently is (complete with extra front armor plate):      I think it turned out fairly well for a first attempt at the technique. More to come soon. |

Haven't been able to work on this this past week (1st week of school), buy I had some time today, and got some more done. Original plan was to do whitewash, but I recently found out that there is a model show on next weekend in my town (literally a 5 min walk), so I'm going to try and get it done in time for that. PICS (side skirts/road-wheels not shown):        EDIT: I know the suspension's not perfectly flat (kepy breaking during assembly, had to superglue), I'll be putting it on a contoured dirt base to make up for that . |

Thanks, Leon! I can't believe it took me so long to try the splatter technique haha. Results are worth it for sure |

Looks like you've got it headed in the right direction Oliver, keep it up! The only way to expand your horizons is to try new things. |

Thanks guys! Really happy how this turned out . Was able to get to the hobby show today, lots of fun. Won a 65' ranchero, a dodge viper, and a paintbrush stand (show was more car oriented ), and also bought an old monogram(?) 1:48 b29 for $15. Should be a fun project. |

I remember building that B-29 kit as a kid and hanging it from my ceiling. It's a fun and big old bird!
