Tamiya Challenger2 -Finished / Thanks!

Tamiya Challenger2 - decals.

Thanks, Bob!
Thanks, Ian!

Back from a couple of weeks on the East coast. DC, Shenandoah NP, Colonial Williamsburg. Great trip.

Time to get busy! Get it done!
I tried to get a little bit of color variation on this monochrome beast. I attempted some highlights and shadows on the lower side skirts as well. Next, a satin clear coat to help with the application of the pin wash and shadow effects.

Thanks for looking.

Cheers,

Bill

Oh hell, I was up there the weekend of the 9th. Came up the Shenandoah, who knew traffic would be so thick. We came back down through Charlottesville and Appomattox. Probably passed each other on the road. :dude

Looking great Bill. :soldier

Thanks, Mike!!
Thanks, Jeeves! You too Jeeves. We were there on the 4th. Great fireworks.
Thanks 135e!

A little bit of progress.
Working an enamel pin wash (raw umber and black mix) around the details after a clear coat. I’m still working on the right combination of surface sheen (flat, satin, or gloss) and wash consistency (paint to thinner ratio). I’m spraying Tamima flat colors for the base coats, so you have to get a smooth surface to get the pin wash to capillary into the corners. I’m reluctant to give a heavy gloss coat for fear of losing detail. You know!


First pass on the figures. My first time trying to represent camouflage on a uniformed figure. I’m generally pleased.

Thanks for checking in. Keep at it my modeling companions!

Cheers,

Bill

Thanks, Ian. Not a lot. I think some scratches and dust, and the tracks, and it will be a wrap. Maybe this week. Hang in there.

Thanks, Bob.

Cheers,

Bill
