LVTP 7

[Guest]

Just caught up with you on your 'practice' build, and I am impressed. You tube and our own ship builders should be able to point you further into the area of representing the ocean or water at least. But to my eyes it is looking the business and I look forward to your next model when you put your practice into production. Great tutorial on how you build up the waves.
Cheers, Mike.

Thank you for your kind comments!

Let's finish the model with the help of some fellas.
This is how I paint my figures: I shot a first primer with black and then a second shot of clear gray from above the figure, to show all the lighting areas:

Then I use dilluted sand to paint the uniform:

Then some brown and green to make the camo:

I complete the camo with grey and sand tiger stripes:

Afterwards, a dark brown wash to mark the shadows:

And finally, military green for the vest and the flesh and helmet:

Same process for the second guy in the scene:

As you can see, I painted the interior of the hatches in a light clean green as a strong contrast, and I changed the periscopes green:

Some antennaes made from stretched sprue and that's it! just two fellas having a nice conversation on board of this monster during some military exercises!

I'll leave more pictures in the finished military vehicles forum

Kind Regards!!
