That may well my next project John! With the Masterbox ' Rommel & DAK tank crew' figures


Any pics of your one?

[Guest]

Well I've been busy in the paint shop! I've used Xtracolor gloss paints here, it saved having to use a gloss coat before adding the decals.


Although my camera work isn't that good, hopefully you can see the colour modulation that I've applied.





The eagle eyed will notice that I bashed it & part of the front track fell off  >

It's mainly the in last pic that I can see the modulation and a real good job you have done of it.

Very nice work Patrick the colour modulation worked a treat from what I can see. Pity about the track though.

Couldn't get the link to work! You'll remember it as soon as you see it! I loved building that kit, I had to buy some tamiya etch for the grilles on the side - heads up, look for etch for their Stug! These recent tamiya kits are fantastic, I'm having a break from the Diamond Wrecker, as it's so intensive - makes Dragon kits look like Lego - and my new Easy Eight is also a beautiful kit!

[Guest]

I cut & pasted the link - I remember it now! good stuff


I think mine will be like the box art - but heavily weathered!

The colour modulation is there but you don't notice it, it just looks right.  This is how it should be.  Sadly some look like Manga Cartoon character illustrations.  Nicely done Patrick.  


By the way, are you really in Afghanistan?

gray,and what a good job of the modulation,do real like your dust work is that done with powders,?

Thanks Graham! And thankfully no I'm not - they're supposed to be rather corrupt out there
