Thanks Jimmy!! Just trying to get in and out on this one!

Thanks Bill! Not too big of a paint job on this one! It's like a 1/3 the size of a Pz. I!! LOL!! I should be happy though....no tracks!!

Thanks a bunch Serzh! LOL...I wish I had the eyes of a watchmaker!

Thanks Andy!! Glad to have you and your little pajama wearing friend in my corner!!


Hey fellas,

A little color!

For what it is worth in this scale, I added some pre-highlighting with some white.



Then of course some color was added...



I ended up giving the whole thing a quick dusting of almost a wash constancy of the USAF Grey ad a hint of green.

Oh, an pulled off the masking too.



The tiny stuff got some color as well.



A squirt of clear will go down soon and then I can start some detail painting, decals and pulling my teeth out trying to figure out how to do the boot stripe on this one! LOL!! I works out to around a 1mm white line!     Think I might have something worked out though!

Thanks for stopping by!

Looking really great with the color on Todd! The contrast of the gray and black on the hull looks fantastic.

[TRM]

Thanks Leon! I think things will pop a bit more with a filter and wash or two. Found a block to use for a base tonight too!!

Bet it's a lot of fun maneuvering the airbrush around this little guy. Coming together nicely!

[TRM]

That it was Bill! Toughest thing is the overall size. Trying to paint it like a full sized battleship and realizing it is the size of a large dingy!!

I banged out some detail painting, a filter and a light wash...





Okay....I am calling this DONE! Something simple and quick...right? Here she is...



















Thanks for coming along for the ride!!

Excellent finish Todd! I really like the low profile of this.

[TRM]

Thanks Leon! It certainly accomplished what I intended...a break and a little fun!!

This is freaking awesome!!! i am always on the lookout for small, quick and easy (although easy...)things i can create for my display case. Currently i am on the lookout for a Tupolev G-5 boat. Its a WWII Soviet torpedoboat (in 1/350 and 1/35 available)

Really did an outstanding job bringing this little guy to life Todd. Nice!

[TRM]

Thank you Remco! It was a pretty fun kit to work with. I am thinking you would have fun with the G-5!! Best of luck!

Thank you very much Bill! I think this one served its purpose well..."Completion Fix"!!
