Gulf War Bradley

[moon puppy]

Bob, I've been following along on this and I'm quite stunned at how this went together. Every time I think you are done, you improve it that much more. This is what separates the masters from guys like me. Keep going man, I'm watching this one closely.

Thanks Mark but I'm just taking direction from a Master.

About the same but just hit the dark panels

Lighter color and also darker on some of the panels for variation.

What's next folks?

Dude you should be entering that in a contest somewhere

Not hardly Bruce, this will never see the light of day. Just getting my chops in on this sand color.

Started working on the tracks for the earlier Bradley, may have figured out a trick for Friuls. I used .3mm brass rod instead of .5 they suggest. Gives it more play and they just drop right in. These tracks have a bolt head that covers the open end so just glue that in place and the pivot point is secure.

Talking about the size of this earlier. Here it is next to the Sherman.

Wonder if that Bushmaster would penetrate a Sherman.

got some better pictures this time.

I think i know what you meant John, does it look like it? The turret was one spot I worked on, the tiles for the reactive armor stuff for example.

Cheers,

Bill

Looking good Bob! It is a lot more complex looking beast that I thought it was.

 

[Skinny_Mike]

This really does look awesome Bob! And what great advice from Doc John!

Again I say you should have this in a contest somewhere

[moon puppy]

I think it is awesome. :salute

Even without the ammo cans? Just didn't put them on and at this point eh...Moving on

I'll do the early one on this thread also.

Great work!

 

[JSteinman]

Turret is looking great - now do the same thing to the hull, then give is a seal and another pin wash with streaking...(The kind you do with your clothes on.)

 

[moon puppy]

I thought I did....

Will do on the seal and streakin'

 

[Iron Mike]

Glad you got this one under control, looks really good!

 

[JSteinman]

Use a dusty buff color for the pin wash with streaking from the nooks and crannies onto angled surfaces - go slow and build it up in layers, very faint, but as you increase the layers it will give depth - go to far and it will look like accident in flour factory - so go slow - did I say go slow? :zen

Hair dryer is your friend here.
