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:

Thanks for the consideration MP. I am not a get up early guy so midnight for me works OK. I would obviously be just as happy with 11.00am or 12.00 midday but I don't know how brutal that is for the others - that would be ideal for me but i am in a minority and would rather fit in with the majority.

Sounds like the right approach - finish before you start :) not always easy. Also forgot to add that some people go for the curved foam bases like Verlinden introduced back in the day.

This 'bricked -up' toughie is already started and coming soon to a channel near you ........:dude: I searched out as many shots of this tank as I could find - some have been taken at different times if you look at the slogans painted on the barrel and the side rubber sheet hanging out with...

I will photograph my construction process as best I can but you make a good point. Bases are all different and different displays require varying approaches, such as larger dioramas than this with a bit more story, are more suited to a base like John's Tiger 1 Russian scene, that looks more...

Ok, some new progress on the BA - I decided to create a vehicle using a mix of the details from both tanks shown at the start of this post. This would also mean that I could use the travel tanks on the rear which I hadn't modelled on the T-72B3M. Tracks finished Mud added - guards on. Brass/ PE...

I just finished watching a U-Tube video on the guy who created the B-25 Gunship /strafer while flying Havocs out of Darwin. Really interesting, as he initially loaded up his Havoc with 50 cal,s, as the .30 couldn't penetrate the armour on the Jap ship hulls. The 50's made the Havoc nose heavy...

Good luck John :popcorn
