Terry's desert sig

[Guest]

Ok here is the one I have been waiting for I have two Tamiya SAS jeeps. Two African buildings an Tamiya LRDG truck And I may possibly add a Kubelwagen to the mix but am unsure of that at this point in time.


I think this dio is going to be quite weighty when done so may do it in to parts if that is allowed.

I hope I posted this in the right place sorry if not.

[Guest]

I have just noticed I missed a couple of the box arts out when doing the photos will amend as soon ASAP

[monica]

looks interesting what your up to, a double build,of jeeps,and a shed,


will be watching this one,and so much stuff with each one,nice,

[aaron]

Ooooo is that building resin or ceramic?

[Guest]

Aaron the buildings are made of plaster although I have used plaster for bases I have never used buildings made of the stuff. There are a few mods I want to make to them but will research first as there is no access to the roof areas. I want to try and cut two holes so as to have an obs post on one.

[monica]

oh Terry,be careful with that one with plaster,I have never used the other type of plaster that is meant to be much harder,


and less likely to break,


I would tape both sides were i intend to put the hole,and go in from each side very slowly,


and that type of hunt would have a hack on the roof,were a ladder comes up from inside,

[Guest]

Cheers Moni the hatch fits with what I thought.

[Guest]

I am going to do this in reverse of what I normally do and tackle the figures first. There are fifteen of them all together so they should keep me busy for a while. The jeeps and truck won't take to long to knock up then t will be on to the buildings. I am now thinking of making wooden floors for the roof sections thus dispensing with having to cut through the plaster parts provided.[ATTACH]102239.IPB[/ATTACH]

Tonight I have been playing with skin tones two look to purple to me where as the others don't look to bad what do you guys think?

[Guest]

If you mean the chaps at either end, they do look a bit puce Terry! Maybe they've got Delhi Belly & are struggling to keep their bottoms shut? :P

[Guest]

I see what you mean

[monica]

oh my ,lucky i was not drinking my coffee as well,


there was a good resent post on skin tones Terry that may help you a little,


i use a black base ,then a darkish flesh tone,and then work from that,having


the black base adds death to them,


as there out in the sun will be darkish as well,
