ta Terry,glad your liking it so far,


going to try some think different as well with this,will see if it works or I like it, O.o

[monica]

tried some think different with this one, O.o


did the shape joins with a grey green then over with a cold grey,the retouch up some bits


with a dead white,which is not working in the AB,gone all caggy


as I did not give it a coat of hair stick/spray,will not be able to do that method,of weathering so went for gray tones,

[monica]

today's update before I have to go out all day again, >


made a start on the figures and base,so need time for the glue to set with the base anyway,


need to add a few more bits of beach,to the front,part,then build the rest up with snow,and some hedgers,


well that's my plan,


hope you like my idea for this setting the eastern front,winter 43/44,

Wow, you build fast Monica. Looking very good, great work on the camo scheme. I have 2 questions with this build, if you could answer them it would be helpful


1. What did you use to create the streaks on the side of the tank?


2. What did you use to make the logs? Just sticks?

This is looking superb Monica the rust work is great.

thanks so much Bob,so glad that you do like this one,much appreciated,comments,


No 1-what I do is just use washer ,first I used a dark grey,like pin lining,then a German red/brown,used much the same way,,lite rust,which I make out of steel nail, 9_9


not on all joins,just were I think it would get the most lite surface rust,


then for the staining so to say I used,flat earth as a wash,but all are very thin,as I just use my colors and never buy a wash, o.O


hope this is of some help, 9_9


No 2,yes I use thine branches,as I like the texture and the natural,moost as so on , on them,the same as I would for tree trucks,

well a busy day again,so no table time for me,


did get a bit done from 6am,till,8am,some more work on the base,and started my tree,


added in more branches,as It was a little bare,and for the foliage I will use asparagus fern,which I have socking in 60,40,PVA/water,


will leave in there for a couple of days,so it socks in,and hopeful will preserve it some what, O.o


as I will have a topping of show,as well,with more PVA,which should help,well that's what I,m hoping for, 9_9


made a start with the figures,as well,blocked in the colors,


so thats about all I have time for today, >


well hope your liking the progress,so far,
