Fantastic, Count me in, But fortunately for you all I got rid of the Cheerleading Outfit. So you just use the Surfacer/primer and Stipple it on for you texture?? Looks So much easier then the old Green stuff technique. |

Yes, just bring it on and sand it down until you got the texture your looking for |

Glad to hear I'm not the only one when it comes to things like that...once you know something's 'off' it's hard to ignore it!  Sometimes ignorance truly is bliss. |

Helluuww, I replaced the gun tube by another and tested my new nozzle on the Panther. Primer is Vallejo black.  And the first paint is on camo is based on a HG Panther, with disc camo.   Next is the disc camo! |

Great looking camo. Did you use some special stickers or masking tape?

Nice work on the disc camo! Did you use the Uschi masks or something else? Always wanted to try one of these paint schemes but keep chickening out. |

Weathering started. As always i like to use the AK/Ammo products together with oils. Before weathering i sprayed a couple of thinned buff over the model and did a chipping round with thinned AK/Ammo paints. In the final stages i'll add more 'fresh' chipping.  The weathering effects clearly vissible when you look at the motor hatch  Blending the oils  |
