Thank you very much guys ! @ MoonPuppy, the shattered glass was cut on the clear sprue and then scratched with a cutter blade giving angles to the scratches. A lot of these scratches and there you are ! @ Sharkmouth, you're right the blood & tissue must be darkened, I'll "fix" that. I know the...

Thank you guys ! So as anyone may guess, the passenger was wounded. But this is no crime scene ! Private Ryan was harmed and hit hard... but he feels fine now and got back to combat after several weeks being taken care of by nice nurses during his recovering time !!!!!! So, no offense...

Hi, The crew cab was handpainted in a dark green acrylic water based color (Citadel range). Here's a pic of the dashboard and the steering wheel Then here are the seats, these were painted with the same Citadel paint, faded down with some sand color of the range. I added the seatbelts and...

Hi Gents ! So here's my new log. I made up my mind regarding the payload that'll seat on the M1000 Trailer from Hobby Boss's huge HETS. When I saw a pic on the web of a HEMTT that was obliterated by an IED in Iraq, I knew I had to go for it. The inspiring picture : from...

Hi, I've started this Abrams from Dragon. I want it to be a little different from all the M1s that are built out there on the net. I found one I have never seen depicted : http://www.toadmanstankpictures.com/abrams.htm I have no idea of the unit, and only know it is in Iraq circa 2005. Any...

Hey, The coating has been sanded, and the base is going forward... It is currently drying, as can be seen on the various sand tones Regards, Richard

Hi, Just one pic to show you the building rendering so far. It received some polyfilla coating, and when this started to dry, I textured it with an old toothbrush. It looks like some heavily raised roughcast, but this will be tamed by heavy sanding once dried. Regards, Richard

Thanks gents :thumbsup Well, T, d'ya know this is exactly what many Kiwis used to say riding the pinkies ?? I think the pink will tone down a little bit with the weathering going on, cos loads of sand are gonna come and fade it down :soldier A little thought for them New Zealanders tonite...

Hi, Thanks Ron, thanks sharkmouth. Yep I seen the sun dials, these are really cool, but I will not use them. I'll make a little diorama, nothing better than a little place in Lybia... The base is varnished plywood, 23 cm x 30 cm. I'll make a little "house" with the Chevy. I saw a beautiful...

Hi, Thank you for your kind words :) Ok, I consider the building process is over... Let's get some detail view first. Hussar Productions tyres show a surprising recess around the rim that I filled in with putty thinned with acetone. A fella french modeller already experienced the same so...

Hey, The carpets used to free the Chevy from sand bogging are well done by Tamiya, by 1976 standards ! I decided I had to change them. The ingredients are : Styrene sheet (0,25 mm thick), standard tape and lead foil I cut the styrene card to match the Tamiya parts' width, ie 13 mm, and...
