Takom Krupp Morser UPDATE 10/28/18 The Base
Thanks guys, I'm glad you like it.
So I spent the day at drag races yesterday, I decided to play hookey from adult stuff again today.
hyeah
DryDex turned out to be a bad idea for base material, it took almost a week to dry and it's kind of crumbly at the edges. I had used lightweight patch material for a previous base with good results, guess I should have gone that way again.
Anyway, I'm moving forward with what I have.
I painted the whole base with Stynylrez Black, brought it in the house and hit it with Chelle's blow dryer. When that was dry, I applied a quick coat of Tamiya Flat Brown, allowing some of the black to show. Switching gears, I cleaned yet another set of tracks for my StuG while the base paint dried.
Note to self, next time take photos here.
When the base paint was dry, I shot a very wet coat of very thin Vallejo Matte Varnish. Going straight to the bench, I started applying a mix of chopped hemp rope, Treemendous funky hair, oregano and leaves I made with my RP Toolz punches. Second note to self, pictures would have been really good here.
Once I got things where I wanted them, I positioned the gun, planks and baskets, using CA. I added some more leaves and hairs around the model. Hey, here's some photos!
The baskets are from TLAR Models and the damigiane is from Cix Models. There are some more details I want to add, but I won't get a chance to get back to the bench until next weekend. It's still gonna be close. :frantic
More to come, thanks for dropping by.
