Academy Patton...Oils Many many thanks. Joe

Academy Patton...Oils Well folks here we go again. Warning, the pictures for the most part do not show the actual colors portrayed. The pictures show a much "warmer" tone or yellowish tint. Now for the not so regular update. Using oils the process of weathering begins. Several different...

Academy Patton...Paint and Chipping Been thinking a lot about that MP. Joe

Academy Patton...Paint and Chipping Many thanks for looking in. MP unfortunately here the "gate guard" is a small piece of field artillery. And it is relatively new. I do remember one from when I was a kid and I remember it having a touch of chipping. I definitely do not want to go...

Academy Patton...Paint and Chipping Many thanks. With some information provided from another site I went back and cleaned up the hull and turret as they apparently did not chip as I have it portrayed. This build to be honest has really shown my inexperience with armor builds. Joe

Academy Patton...Paint and Chipping Moving right along on this it is time for painting. Up to this point not much was for sure on this build. I knew I wanted to build it so I could tackle the cammo. As I feel that is one of the major weaknesses I have in this hobby I wanted to challenge...

Academy Patton...Upper Hull and Turret Many thanks all for looking in. Ahh I see what you are talking about. In the set of pictures without the turret the upper and lower hulls are not glued yet. The set of pics with the turret the hulls are glued into place and the seam is taken care of...

Academy Patton...Upper Hull and Turret T many thanks. I will fix it. I found some decent photos but the rear of that light is hard to see. In a couple it looks as if there is a cable. Definitely shows the research is only as good as the photos you find. Many thanks for looking in and the...

Academy Patton...Upper Hull and Turret A bit of a double update tonight. I had planned on just the update for the upper hull but work on the turret proceeded very quickly. In fact that completed the "construction" phase. Under ten hours total. The detail went on without issue, well other...

Academy Patton...Lower Hull Time to update. Time was spent working the details to the lower hull. So far so good. The wheels and the return rollers are ready to go but left off the hull to accommodate painting. This puts me through step four in the instructions. Next up is the...

Academy Patton Appreciate you all looking in. This one will be oob. Concentrating on the construction and the paint work. But in the future who knows. Joe

Well folks how about an aircraft guy changing direction just a tad and including armor in his build list. I know I have built a few armor kits but I have been presented an opportunity and I am going to wander that way. First up is this, The Panzer Page on Facebook is hosting The Dan Jayne...

Many thanks my friend. Joe

Thanks MP. Relieved in a way that she is done but by the same token I kind of wish it didnt end yet. Joe

1/24 MPC/Airfix JU 87B Chips and Grime. Many many thanks all. Much appreciated. MP thank you. I did go back and tone that one down a bit. Joe

1/24 MPC/Airfix JU 87B Chips and Grime. Back with a quickie type of update. A couple of hours has been spent with oils, paint, and pastels. Streaking, chipping, and a bit of grime and streaking is the result. To be honest it is not over the top. I had to make sure I didn't take it too far...

1/24 MPC/Airfix JU 87B Legs and VROOOOOM Many thanks Alex. Joe

1/24 MPC/Airfix JU 87B Legs and VROOOOOM Many many thanks. MP you are right. Needs a wash or three to get the details to show though. Joe
