Apart from a failed attempt at a Hotchkiss tank this is my first attack at a gun.
The two main boggie chassis assembled.
With the decking on.
Not a lot of clean up requried sofar,just a little molding seam that rub's off easy.

Righto,I have got most of the pre-paint assembley done.
I have left some on the sprue's as they won't be affected by gluein later.
Box o goodie's.

As I'am feelin inspired by lookin over Bob Letterman's Olive Drab post's I have decided to give doin a dio a shot.
So I am gunna add this little tacker.
I know that these were used with the Geract rail gun but give me a little licence here.
Tiny road wheel's in 72nd. :pinch:
A few ejector pin mark's in this kit,but overall not to bad.

Ok,this is goin on record.I HATE AZTEC AIRBRUSHES. :vmad :vmad :vmad
I bought this dam thing as I was told(an read)that they were good.
It's got about as much control as a flying house brick.
Tryin to spray a fine cammo an all I got was crap,ain't happy,but cannot do much about it as I don't have another A/B.
Suffice to say,it's a crap cammo job here. :vmad
:vmad
I could just do a solid colour but I want to try doin a cammo net over the panzer and gun.
I'am hoping that some weathering will soften the pattern a bit.
Would these thing's be heavily used/dirty ect?

I suspect they would be heavy weathered, faded. It's rolling stock on a rail road so yeah, dirty it up some. The camo looks pretty good, it just takes practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice and more practice. But who knows, maybe you'll be one who scores one of the new Badger Airbrushes on CTA.

A few pic's after I did a wash of Burnt Seinna to tone it down a bit.(Look's better in the plastic.)
A little blury this bugger. :S
I forgot to add the little fixture's,I can clearly see the wash effect here.
Trouble is I don't know what step's to take next.I have never used oil's or pigment's to weather before as this is my first bit of artellery.hmy:
