And working on those Friuls Tony. I didn't get any blackenit or other stuff so I figure just paint them like you've done.

 

[White_Wolf]

Great stuff Bob, coming alive -

 

[SA Dave]

The wash really braught out the depth

 

[moon puppy]

Not real happy with this dry brush result, thoughts?

Going to clean some of it up and try again.

 

[MrT]

Looks pretty good from this distance.

[moon puppy]

Keep your distance then....

Dry brushing works way better over a flat coat- but this is looking prett y darned good, Moon!

You could always rub a little dark steel pigment on the edges to dilute the brighter dry brushing boss.

I think that's my problem, don't know why I forgot this. I was complaining to Terry that it looked scratchy.

Thanks for the tips guys!

Dear Bob.

it is going well...my suggestion :

- Drybrushing on corners only,and...

-Streaking grime effects on the flat surfaces were you did the drybrushing...

...anyway you are doing a great job!

Best regards!

Luiz.

And Luiz, next time you see it, markings will be on it.

Thanks for the suggestion Luiz, will do. :drinks

 

[moon puppy]

Getting dirty!

I may not have done this streaking correctly after seeing Luiz subtle application.

Enamel on top of acrylic seal coat so I can take it off, that's the point right?!

I attempted some chipping and light rust coming from those chips. Does it look ok?

Thanks for the guidance guys!

 

[lupanzer]

BINGO!!!....anxious for the tracks!

Luiz.

 

[moon puppy]

Thank you Luiz, I have one run almost done.

 

[ausf]

Sweet.

Coming along beautifully MP.

I'm certainly no expert on streaking (that doesn't sound right), but in terms of real nitpicking, on the left side of the turret the streaks aren't all perpendicular. Since they are supposed to be runoff, they should travel in the same direction.

Again, that's nitpicking, otherwise the build is very convincing.

 

[moon puppy]

Thanks Jeff, I never have been able to make a straight line. Will correct it, thanks and never hesitate on nick pickin' my builds

sumabioth!!!!


Cleaned up in the shop today...threw out the polycaps for the idler and drive sprocket


Not only that, I did not put the polycaps in then drive cover thing where the drive sprocket mates. so both the idler and drive sprockets are very loose on their mounting points and with the weight of the friuls....

 

[SA Dave]

Damn Bob that sux.

Maybe you can drill out a bit of evergreen to go in there. That is all I can think of doing.

 

[MrT]

UH OH!

:pinch:

 

[moon puppy]

The idler may not be that big of deal but the drive sprocket. it just flaps all around in that housing. Guess I can fill in and drill out proper size. OR, fill out the shaft. We'll see.
