Ahhh Firefox! Check your preferences menu. Third tab over on mine = content. There is a checkbox option to “load images automatically”. I just tried it - when I go back to a thread that I just posted pics on, the pics aren’t visible, but their links are. So if you see “modelerX” has just uploaded new pics that you want to see, you can right-click to view the image.
And there is an exceptions option - you apply this to an entire url, so you could always load images from CNN, for example, but nobody else.
Hope I’ve helped direct $ away from your Cel company & back to where it belongs: at the LHS!
ok…finshed up the innards…added some washes,a bit of rust to keep a certain Field Marshall happy. Still need to hit it with a shot of dull coat…I didnt notice that I had run out…this should soften up a bit the wash effect…I might also give it another pass with the artist turpentine…it blends the wash in a bit too…
no on to the turret…eventually I will get to the kit parts…
Agree with Dupes… nice decals! Or did you meant to say dry transfers? I am a big fan of those dry transfers from Archer… they worked great on Zimmerit too. Archer will have a table at AMPS National show in Auburn so I am planning to buy as many as I can… [:D]
Man, I wish I lived so close to a huge show like that. Would be a lot of fun to make it to a nationals-level contest more than once every 10 years or so. [:(]
Sooooooo…finally have enough to post. This is the DML Imperial Series Pz.Beobs.Wg.III Ausf. H artillery spotting vehicle (hence the dummy gun, replaced with an mg to make more room for radios and spotting equipment). Added a brass barrel for the mg and a couple of grab handles on the turret made of brass. The tracks are going to be Magic Tracks I stole from another kit that I donated some Friuls to…would love to put them on here, but these Imperial kits have an infamous lack of strength in the way the return rollers are designed, and I’m not sure that they would support the weight.
Was going to use my usual basecoat/lightened basecoat in the center of panels method, but since this one is going to stay single colored, I decided to try out the AK Interactive Dunkelgelb Modulation set I picked up last summer. It’s an 8-color set designed just for this. Have sprayed the first 7 parts in the last 18 hours or so - here’s where I’m at.
Most of this should be self explanatory, but fire away with any questions. [Y]
Next up - some application of the final highlight color via brush to some smaller details, and stenciled application of balkankreuzes and turret numbers.
The only instructions are in pic 2 - the back of the box. You can probably find some more stuff online as to their use, but a lot of it is up to you. Gotta run - more later!
I agree! I know there are several ongoing WIPs right now… hope we will be able to close more gaps before the GB expires. Detailfreak is working on two. Others are working on theirs and some of them are very close to be called done.
You know I am still working on mine which has been put aside so I can focus on my first commission build for a friends 50th birthday. Doubt we will close all gaps but it would be AWESOME if we did.
Dupes- LOVE your SBS how to use those AK Interactive! [Y] It looks GREAT! Are those paint ready to be airbrushed right out of the bottle or do you have to add thinner?
That set is already on my wish list to buy at upcoming shows along with German Grey set. Is there a set for American armor too? My mind is blank right now…
Everything is dry transfers, except the white outline shield, had some difficulty with them and ended up hand painting … working on tools and other details. Armor86
86- You just did great hand painting the shield. I had similar problem when I tried to transfer large outlined numbers on the side of Pz IV but it was an easy fix. I find easier if you can tape using Tamiya masking tape to hold the transfer before you rub it against the surface.
I just noticed this… red primer inside the wheels. Nice touch!!! [Y]
Hmmm…I’ll have to see if I have any un-allocated modeling time before June - I could probably bang out one more before then. Let me see what’s still to build after the spring shows.
Working on tool/accessory painting, exhaust rusting, and tracks now. Pics when I’ve got something appreciable!
hey guys. need some help here i need suggestions for some decent workable tracks that arent fruils. just got home from dinner and found both runs all over the floor. my dog decided to use them as a toy. good times. one week spent cleaning those turds and it was just wasted. man i thought they only ate homework. i got caught slippin big time. left them to dry on my fire place ledge. lesson learned. at least my wife found my sprockets and rear wheels. oh. and no animals were harmed during the search. but that is the closest that dog has come to death.
