Andy`s Ugly son of a gun.......(Tractor!!).

[The Smythe Meister]

... A slight update Chaps...
I decided i didn`t want to do the just plain Dark Yellow scheme,rather go for the one with the Black rounded camo! Didnt want to pay out for AM sets,so decided to semi copy the drawn on instruction pattern,using "White Tack",(because it doesn`t leave a residue like "Blue tack does),....
It may all turn out to be a complete disaster... but here`s what i`m trying....

Yep,a bit of white Tack,some hole punches,(To get the required Rounded edges),an "Orange stick",(Nicked from Rach`s pampering stash:thumb2: )
And what it looked like all ready for the initial Black attempt....



... Just sprayed the Black:flushed:.... we`ll see if my plan worked... if not... it`ll be back to stage 1 !!:disappointed2:.. not sure yet,but we`ll see:thumb2:
Cheers for now,
Andy

Just found this Andy, so apologies for a late turn up .
Looking very neat and clean, had to look twice at the covering using the white stuff . Good idea as that putty is really costly if your not going to use it a lot of times .


I still have my dinky toy model of this !




turn up .

Evenin` John,Good to see you pop in:thumb2:,The "White tac" is excellent for this type of thing,,,, leaves no residue and so reusable

Hi Rick, I did too ,mate.... unfortunately my mum ditched all mine when i left home:disappointed2:!

Okey Dokey then......
... Last update before i shoot off to Tankfest tomorrow:money-face:!!...
The Camo went "So So" when peeled back on the near side,a fair bit of tidying up around the edges was required,however,on tother side i learned from my mistakes and it came out a bit better. Here`s how it stands currently,with the edges initially sharpened up......





A bit of work to blend it together yet,but overall i think i may well use the Tape/White tac method again.
BTW,some of you may`ve noticed that i managed to break off the Mirror on the nearside.... Dropped it whilst applying the tape and..... PING!!:dizzy::sad:... Luckily though,i retrieved it from the carpet monster.... so it WILL be put back on:thumb2:.
As always,thanks for looking in.... see you after "Tankfest".... unless you`re going of course,in which case,i may see you there!!

Late evening Mr. Smiff,

I have been following this great build from the beginning and have thoroughly enjoyed your progress so far, but without commenting. You have been doing a wonderful job and it's shows in the pictures. Using the white tack has also worked out nicely for the camo. It's only common to have a few touch-ups as with any masking medium. Top job Andy!!!....BUT,

One must remember that this forum is family based and friendly to all. Therefore, I find it my duty to remind you that posting pictures of you sitting at the bench in your Fruit-Of-The-Looms/BVD's, is quite inappropriate, to say the least. This is not show-us-your-drawers.com Sir. Therefore, I politely ask you to refrain from posting such pictures in the future....Thank you for your understanding in this matter.......

BTW, have a great time at the Tankfest and don't forget to take some pics for us who can't attend...................................

The camo looks very good, Andy. The white worms have worked well.
