I just started modeling again after taking about five years off, and decided to start out with a piece of armor, and Paladin Howitzer. I’m just mainly interested in how to produce some of the weathering effects that I’ve seen on a lot of the kit pics posted here. Dusting, chipped paint, things like that. I’m also interested in seeing some pics of this kit finished if anyone here has done it before.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.[:)]

more tips in the recent post “how do I get this kind of weathering?”
For finished kits, you name it, I think I have it. 
As for the Paladin howitzer, I have one on show at: http://modelmaniac.hypermart.net/model10.htm
One sample pic here:
If you like the weathering, my modeler wrote an article on “Making of the Famo”, telling some of the technics he used, including chipping. It’s available at :

Wow looks really good. I have plans to build this one straight out of the box, then get another later and add a detail set and aftermarket tracks to it. Might even possibly make a diorama out of it, I haven’t decided yet, but so far I’ve enjoyed the kit. Thanks for the pic and the links they’ve been very helpful.

Thanks for your compliments. Go for a diorama with your Paladin, it’ll fit neatly!.
As for pics and link, you’re welcome. It’s also my pleasure to show some of my collection.
Happy modelling!
If you want i can post some pictures of some real Paladins, I’m i n the BIG RED 1 , 1st btn 7th Field Artillery right now.
I have access to all the pics you can handle for artillery related vehicles ( 577’s, 113’s, 998’s and so on and on)
Redleg, I would like any and all reference pictures you can get of those vehicles.
If you want to email them to me, I will host them also.
No problem Marine!
I’m developing some pictures from our last field problem to Grafenvoher, and should have them back on Weds.
I still need to get a scanner but , my wife works for DODS so maybe she can scan them at the school or something?
I can also ( once I get a scanner scan some dash 10 pics ) scan some manual pics for ya if you want
well take care!
Yeah, any info you can.
I set up a gallery, check my post on the General Section… you can go there and upload all your stuff if its easier for you, then everyone can view it.
