Great job on the weathering of the trailers. Looking very authentic.


Cheers Richi

Looks good Alan - have you tried sponge chipping? It would give a slightly finer effect than you have there

[Alan 45]

Cheers folks glad you like it


Patrick I was going for that real chipped look like it would get from large stones being kicked up from the the vehicle towing it

I've now added the dust to the tyres of the trailers , I had to work out the colour so it matches the base and luckily humbrol 237 light tan is a perfect match so no mixing required [ATTACH]112841.IPB[/ATTACH]

just a little change to the dio , the Tilly won't be on this , I took it to the club on Monday and they were so impressed that they said it would get lost on a big dio and it deserved a base of its own the vote was unanimous so maybe I am getting better lol

Nice work Alan, it's coming along a treat

[geegad]

absolutely quality work on this epic dio the weathering and chipping on the vehicles is bang on the money and like the extra work you put into the building really pays off to make it look even better than the original will be keeping up with your work on this from now on

[Alan 45]

Well I've built the dragon jeep , it's not a good one I'm afraid and I lost faith in it so just bunged it together the way it said in the destructions so it's not spot on


I've added a few bits of my own as photos predicted , although there was a sertain theme to these additions like fuel cans and bags were tacked on wherever they would go


All it needs now is painting a couple of thompsons in the back and it's done[ATTACH]113327.IPB[/ATTACH]

the position of that front grill is flush with the bonnet , the bonnet should fit over the headlights but to do that you have to file quite a bit away and I'd lost interest by this time so I just left it , the bags are modern U.S. Military issue but I figured, the're bags how different can they be lol
