I looked back throughthepost but I couldn't find a mention about the white plastic card sections inside the hull. What are these for?

No big secret or anything, I thought I had lost a wheel, so I retrieved a spare from the T-72B3M. I have since found the missing wheel. :)

Great colors John. :good:

Bit of slack works as well and always looks a bit more real and dynamic, especially if you are going to beat it up a bit.

The location was why it was chosen. It was isolated, alone, surrounded by coastlines with steep cliffs and the only way to it from Hobart was via Eaglehawk neck...a super thin causway barracaded by police with vicious hunting dogs. And to top that it was on Tasmania (an island at the bottom of...

Here we go again, another version of the T-72, this time its an early B version, the B1. The T-72B, which appeared in the mid-1980s, included a more advanced fire control system, the ability to launch anti-tank guided missiles [ATGMs] through its main gun and enhanced armor protection. The...

Part 5a - Way down south - getting closer to Antartica. ..... next we left Lewisham and ventured to Opossum Bay and then back up and around to the historic Port Arthur convict prison. We went on a night Ghost Tour of the old prison and grounds (which was a lot of fun)that night and then headed...

Very Nice display. :good:

So True James, I find the same thing with the Russian tanks and the Next Gen Acrylics from Ammo and AK. Ultra Matt works really well to get that 'tooth' with a nice matt surface.

I think it comes down to the detail in the sculpting. I have found that with Tamiya v Dragon etc. Especially with faces and clothing detail - it needs to be 3D but not to much.

I have been driving Japanese cars for 20 years and have never had a single issue.

Looks nice MP, I hear what you are saying about the sand texture...always difficult to keep after glue. The solution is real sand secured with white glue 15%/ water 85% solution. Sprinkle a little on top and in amongst the wheels if you want to go that bit further:good:

I'm in !:vgood:

Well, in texture anyway. I still need to add some silver to the track teeth etc and blacken the rubber side sheets. I also will airbrush some browns lightly in the lower areas and wheels and work them up a bit more after the green layers. This painting approach will be quite different but I am...

Time to paint. I am going to experiment a bit with this one, as I want a faded dark green like in the photo below. Normally I would start with a solid dark green and move up from there with varying shades and components singled out with certain shades of the green colors. This time I will only...

Yep, I just upload to my posts directly from my PC storage. I have a folder within the project folder called 'WEB' where I resize the pics to web freindly sizes 300 -600 kb

Midnight is fine but you were refering to Dec 6/7 right as you posted originally, as in the one linked below NOT above?

Must have missed this one but getting nothing from the last post?

Another beauty Chris - very nice! ....and the John Wayne story was cool as well, as he was a hero of mine when I was a 'youngin'. I never new he had a giant boat like this converted from a minesweeper but I am not surprised. :capsmiley:
