Well I am hoping the best for the increase in bench time for you Carl!! See, I am seeing all the signs of a mild winter!! But then again, it is New England...it changes minute by minute!!

Let's see what I can come up with Dupes!!

Eagerly awaiting whatever it is!

[Deleted]

Sign's of a mild winter ? What , no firewood ?

[dupes]

No firewood? Now that's just crazy talk!!

[TRM]

LOL....Just one those things...t many acorns, weather patterns here and abroad...squirrel tails...LOL!! I have to stop hanging around with the old-timers in the family!! LOL!!!

[TRM]

For you Marc!! I don't have a fireplace!!!

[Deleted]

Old timers here also Todd .

Marc , I've got everything covered I hope . Fire wood , wood pellets , stove oil , generator ..............

[imatanker]

Cease and desist with all this Winter talk Boys. It's 71 here at the moment. You're messing up the flow  Oh, Todd. Nice stuff Buddy.

[Deleted]

Its working then !

[TRM]

Okay Jeff...no mention of the cold, bone chilling, wintery, white, Ice covered, wind blown humanoid desolate season that is inevitably on its way!

Oh yeah...thanks btw!!

[imatanker]

Well, NOW I feel better

[Deleted]

Waiting for more!

Chilly 65 degrees here already.....................

[TRM]

Thanks for hanging in there guys!!

Well, this one is coming to a close I think! I managed to punch out some weathering...nothing to over the top really! I kind of like the cleaner worn look if that makes any sense at all..LOL!!

Here are a couple pics to hold things over until I dig up something suitable for aerials.





The stowage is some Value Gear I had in the stash and though it would look interesting to break up the front with.

I hope to have some final shot coming up soon...Thanks for stopping in!!

[Deleted]

Oh I like it a lot Todd !

[TRM]

Thank you very much Carl!! Heading down to snip some antenna(s)

[eastrock]

The depiction is awesome, with the different shades of ERA takes away that monotone color.


Cheers!!!

[dupes]

"Managed to punch out some weathering" - can you be a BIT more specific?

Looks frickin' sweet, T. Looking forward to the final-final shots.

[deafpanzer]

Mismatched tiles... the horror... my OCD! I would have made the war stop so I can match the paint! Nah, I always liked the look of them... great work as usual!

[imatanker]

Well, that looks just awesome I must say. Well done Sir.

[wbill76]

Looking good T! Love the different color tones in the finish, just enough to make it interesting.

I'm still trying to wrap my head around using white to make chips...

[TRM]

Dupes - Thanks buddy!! Glad you enjoyed it! Look below for a quick answer to the question.

Andy - Thank you Sir!! Most appreciated!

Jeff - Thanks a bunch my friend!!

Bill - Thanks Brotha! All about the fun!!

Doogs - You are talking about the white chips in the Black and white stage? They give tonal highlights to the chipped areas. Very subtle but eye catching...a more natural feel I think!

I tossed together a quick little video on application of Vallejo's Model Washes! Hope you enjoy:



I am chalking this one up in the done column!













Thanks for taking the time to tag along on this one!!

[dupes]

"Tossed together a quick video", eh?

I hope this is going into the MoM!

[Tojo72]

Fantastic finish Todd.

Sent from my SM-N900V using proboards

[TRM]

Dupes - The vids really don't take long after some things are streamlined! Something longer and more indepth of course would take some time! MoM? Really?

Anthony - Thanks a bunch my friend!!

[dupes]

Longer and more in depth would be excellent! Like, say, a full build weathering session from paint to completion?

And yes, really!!

[eastrock]

When I grow up I wanna be like you!!! the question is "WHEN?!!" lol

Fantastic finish bud!!!

[doogsatx/]

T - what are you using to capture the video? It's a really great POV and I can never seem to position a camera anywhere near that ideally. Usually it's up and off to the side. Considering conscripting my new Moto X to shoot some video, since it's actually got really good video chops and is small enough that I could position it closer to where I want it.

[TRM]

Dupes - LOL...I will try that some time. I might need to do a time-lapse thing though!! I will think about the MoM....promise

Thanks ER!! You are there brotha!!

Doogs - Ummmm.....Galaxy S4 Phone. As for location, this was the second time I used it:



Picked it up off Amazon for $13 with free shipping. (can't go wrong for that price)  www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00G3ZI0UI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1    I neede the holder for pending video from the shows/seminars and thought this was a good way to go.  Turned out to clamp nicely in a couple locations at the booth/desk in the cave.  It came with a car holder too.  Judging from the size of the jaws, this is universal for all phones and most likely cameras.  I am taking Windows Movie Maker to the extents of it capabilities so far, but it seems to do the trick as well for the moment!
