You know, Paddy said he had problems with Tamiya Black Gloss a while back. Wonder if you went with Flat and gloss coat it later.

A looong time ago I painted a car body, primed with Tamiya flat black, then painted with Tamiya Gloss black...both rattle cans.

It came out surprisingly amazing...might be worth a try.

Ok i have managed to put the main colours on one foot/paw not sure what it was that caused the bubbles, but after rigorus cleaning the painting went pretty smooth :pinch:

It will have some rust colours added to it so it's not so "bling bling"
Used hairspray and salt for the shipping

try to get the other 3 painted to.....

Thanks just need to paint 3 more like that.... building and all that, but when it comes to painting i usually mess up things, must try and learn to understand the airbrush better and how to mix paints.

Got some modelling done tonight, put decals on the trailer for the truck i´m building , and after that i found a perfect material for the fueltank that will hang under the walker, a mobile fueling system that could be dropped off wherever it was needed and then picked up again for refilling

just the basic shape of the tank, it must have pumps and other things to.

Almost has a Steampunk look to it.

I take that as a compliment
I'm busy with the fuel tank, making the mechanism for the fuel hose and some inspection doors.

And for last a pic of the place where it all happens

back to the bench!

Busy with the fuel tank, the main structure is almost done, just some small details to sand flat.
Made some "horns" to help guide the tank in place on the transporter, will be a tube that fits on it welded to the body later

Thanks for following along :drinks

Really thinking outside the box Mats.

Outside the tank you mean?

 

[Bagge]

Not much done today, tired and my back hurts
I managed to get these small tubes in place and sanded off the styrene that was left on the tank

Sit nice!
