It is how I do the airplanes and I like the effect it gives, so...why not?

It looks OK I guess. I thinned the Tamiya XF59 Desert Yellow with Mr Leveler and sprayed many thin coats on the chassis. I used Tamiya XF3 flat yellow thinned with MrL on the engine then with a brush paint XF1 Flat Black in the belts and black parts. So far so good.

I am going to try the black base and chrome marbling like I use on airplanes to see what effect I get on armor. The chrome didn't seem to give enough contrast so I finished up with some gray primer in the centers using the marbling squiggles. The transmission is totally gray so I painted it in...

It's a beauty Chris! Super well done :Drinks:

Money matters are my nemesis! I would gladly reimburse Bob if a way is set up and I don't have to think hard about it.. Auto pay is wonderful. Just sayin.

One of the guys im my model group does that. He has to be very specific when he is asking his wife for panty hose LOL

Model #1 is assembled. The engine really is next this time. The details are just crazy on the kit. The plastic IS very soft though. Not a huge drawback, it is manageable; just an FYI.

So this tow hook was somply butt joined to the frame and kept getting knocked off. I cut the connecting rod off and drilled out the hook and the frame with a 1.2mm bit and used the 1.22mm tube to make a sturdier connection point.

Aww, the obit wasn't there when I posted. Poor thing! Never even got to start living :(

He has two arse holes for shooting bunny pellet countermeasures! Brilliant!

Nope, not engine; next are suspension parts...

Everything seems stable this morning. In preparation for painting the chassis I painted the back side of the light with Vallejo Metal Color Chrome paint, and masked the lens with Val masking fluid. The support bars are made of brass tubing because...well...2 of the kit pieces went flying never...
