that’s all for this night
Good work there on the scratched engine bsyamato.
I couldn’t get any pictures today., it was much too windy and would have blown my canvas all over the place, so i’ll try tomorrow.
so not only here wind break attributes [:D]
Here she is:
Thanks everyone for participating. I will still be visiting.
Shoot, I hope you’re going to hang around T-man…some of us are just getting started!
Came up with a 1/48 Tamiya AB-41. Already cracked into it (am already painting!), just need to get some pics uploaded. Note to potential buyers - it’s really an Italeri kit in a Tamiya box, not a Tamiya kit. There’s a difference!
T-man - do you always take your pics outside? I can certainly see how that would solve lighting and color balance issues…although weather must be a factor, especially in your neck of the woods? Nice build, btw!
Yes Marc, at least the completed builds. I don’t have a photo-booth, nor anywhere to really put one. I’m an amateur at heart. lately i have been editing in iPhoto. That came a world of difference. Wish i had photoshop, but this is actually easier.
Eric, that turned out really swell. Great job with the hand brushing of the camou, sits well with the scale. The tracks look the part too. I can’t see anything wrong with it. Grats on getting her done.
regards,
Jack
magnific build Eric !!! [t$t] [t$t]
Total bada$$ness!
Allllllright sir. Cracked into this one not long after my last post…just haven’t had time to photoshop/upload pics. So here it is!
Managed to pick this kit up for 4 dollars(!) with the caveat that it had been “slightly started”. Not a problem, just some hull work, but the previous owner was very heavy-handed with the putty. Not even sure what type it was to deal with it more effectively, so I gave it as much sanding and smoothing as I could. Here’s the kit as I received it -
Didn’t take long to finish up the rest of the build once that was taken care of. I have to say that this kit may be in a Tamiya box, but it’s definitely an Italeri kit! The fit and precision are not nearly the same.
After a quick spray session with Tamiya acrylics using the kit supplied mixture:
And not long after spraying both camouflage colors using highly thinned Tamiya acrylics:
That’s where she is so far. Need to paint the tires a dark gray (far too much contrast), put on both decals, and do all the detail painting before launching into the weathering!
