Tamiya P204f Armored Railway Vehicle

Mike well done, especially with all the pain you're experiencing. I too wrenched my back, causing sciatica to flare up along with the back pain. It is certainly difficult to stay in a chair for long. Add to that, a severely pulled calf muscle gotten when I ran from an attacking dog. At least I wasn't bit!

I'm still modeling like you are; you're a great inspiration here.

Putting a new definition to the term "Tracks"! Icepack is yer friend! Be nice to you. Your bases never fail to amaze.

Thanks guys. Made progress last weekend, added dark acrylic washes to the ballast and added the telegraph wires.

More to come soon, ready to finish this up. Thanks for coming by!

Looking great!

Thanks Eric, Bob and Terry your comments are appreciated! As promised, more was added to the little P204f. I dug around my stash and found two Alpine Miniatures figures in summer uniform and a seated figured from a Warriors set. I'm not a figure painter by any stretch, but am trying to get better. So here's where we are to date, there may be some additional pieces added.

The figures were painted with AK Interactive Gen 3 acrylics. I still think it needs a bit or two, stay tuned. Thanks for coming by!

That is a great dio! I really like how the figures are interacting other then just standing there.

Nice progress Mike- figures look pretty good to me!

 

[MrT]

Sharp!

 

[Duke Maddog]

For someone who's not a figure painter, you did a spectacular job! You also have a tremendous eye for setting them up to tell a story.

Bringing this one to the finish. I added the remaining bits and bobs to complete the scene.

Michelle made the nameplate with her Cricut, she's really enjoying making stuff.

The tool box and some of the hand tools are Miniart, the rest are sourced from the spares. I blackened the photo etch wrenches in the bottom of the box with AMMO Photoetch Burnishing Fluid.

I really enjoyed building this kit and creating the vignette. Thanks for coming by.

Nice job Mike, what's next?

 

[errains]

Just an awesome job all round on this one. I'm really likening the display and figures.

 

[Duke Maddog]

Sensational work!

 

[Jeeves]

Beauty to behold Mike...great details!
