That is one mean looking machine!! Awesome looking build and great save from the turret disaster. The finish is great, the dusting looks just right, and the added details in the bins like the Coke cartons just set it off.
Wow, Kenny, I can’t give high enough praise for taking a disaster and turning it into a shining triumph! This model came out just spectacularly–it has a dynamic look and finish. Really a triumph of patience and determination!
That cat would be…well, forget it; don’t want to get into that, but cats and models go together about as well as babies and lawnmowers!
You should be able to dribble some really thin superglue down each individual chain, and as soon as you put it on, touch the end of a facial tissue to the bottom off it to draw off the excess, and the small amount of it remaining in between the links will “freeze” those chains in place so they stop clinking and moving. Just hit them with some Flat Clear afterward and you won’t even be able to notice it. This way, you can stop worrying about those chains de-flaking if you transport this model to a contest somewhere–which you should, as it’s a winner, no doubt!
Eric, Thank you for your encouraging word.
Doog, I’m overwhelmed by such words from a Master.
No; I will not be entering into a competition. There are none near to me in fact there are no clubs either.
Some thing I would benefit from is to be able to meet other modelers and get some ‘Hands on’ advice/tuition. So for the time being I rely on these forums and people like you…cheers…Kenny
PS, where to get this thin glue, what is it called?
Hey,
It looks fantastic!, dusty and mean.
The weathering looks nice and the color is perfectly blended. You can see the details.
Good job!
what a beautiful build!
I really like the look of your weathering.
can you describe in more detail on how to do it?
Nice work Kenny,hanging in there and overcoming big problems
t-bolt, all I have done, some fading a pin wash in places and Dry brushed a lot of pastel chalk; then brushed off most of it. Just leaving the dust were I want.
I’m not very good at finishing so I am lucky it you think it looks OK…cheers…Kenny
