looks great Eric! Just a suggestion do not rush the weathering it should be a thoughtful process.
There is no finish line and that Stug isn’t going anywhere! Just my experience my friend. I rushed my second build when I got to the weatheirng stages and learned a lot of scale and tonality lessons. Remember a little goes a long ways!!
IMHO you got color dead on!
Becuse it is about the funnest (not a real word, I know) thing a guy can do. Well after women. Then after a nice Kentucky bourbon on a cool evening…with a fine cigar. Then after some poker with the boys. Then after some girl watching at the beach when the wife isn’t looking.
[%-)]OK… I don’t know you you are so excited either[:D]
Oh and of course… the build is looking terrific[tup]
Don’t worry. I came to my senses after I realized I would be up all night and into the morning finishing it right. I was just really itching to call it complete. Thanks, I’m really happy with the color as well.
Thanks wing_nut…[:D]

Geist - that is looking SWEET! [tup][tup]
Is your ‘mud’ all caked-on Tamiya Weathering stuff?
It’s small amounts of putty that has been painted and then weathered with the Tamiya stuff.
EDIT: Its done. No time for pictures now. I’ll try tomorrow, but my grad party is that night so that means set up all day.
Erik
I managed to get some quick pics in betwen the set up for my grad party today.
Here is a pic of two new shelves I’ve put up.
Erik
Looks Great Eric! Nice shelves as well!
Congrats on your Graduation as well!
Looks like your collection is growing and you’ll need more shelving! Congrats on the graduation Erik, be sure to stay safe in your celebrations! [tup]
Don’t worry Bill, I’ve already got 4 shelves just like those two filled up. I just moved the collection around a bit so the new shelves wouldn’t sit empty.
Thanks for the coments guys. This was a very build fun for me. I think that the paint came togher very nice. I’ve been trying a three coat method on the last few monotone builds. It entails a darkened coat, then a normal coat of paint that high lights the middle of the panels, and then a messy coat of lightened paint. I adapted the idea from Doog’s Jagdpanzer Kanone build.I think it creates a nice effect.
I’ll try to get some better pics. It won’t happen tomorrow since the actual ceremony is then and then I have a ton of parties to go to.
Erik
Here are the better pics that I promised.
Here is a humorous look at my next project.
Thanks for looking guys.
Erik
Congrats on both the Graduation and a cool model, it looks brilliant.
Terry.
Looks fantastic Eric! I really like the texture and weathering on the muffler. Well done! [tup]
Congrats on another great milestone in your life as well!
