Good detail on those radios and the weathering looks just right.

That looks cool. What’s the underlying color, and the pigment wash on the floor. I’m seeing a bruised purple effect which is very uhhh effective!

[Floki]

Thank you guys!
Bruce I tried to let some of the underlaying hull red primer coat peek through in places. Before the clear coat I did a dry brushing of Tamiya hull red on the floor. That was followed after the clear coat with a Mig Dark Wash in the panel lines. I'm going to let this dry for a bit and probably in the morning hit this with a coat of Mr. Super Clear flat. Then I will take just a No.2 pencil over high traffic areas of the floor to show some exposed metal.

That looks great. I am with you on pencils. Do you have a local art store where there are pencils from Derwent? Derwent water soluble pencil sticks are fantastic for bare metal.

[Floki]

The only art stores around here are hobby lobby and Michaels, I'll look to see if they have them

Getting everything in to the interior before I close her up.


Also got the radio rack built up and the radios wired up. I usually use some thin wire for doing this but then got the idea of using the EZ Wire that I use for aircraft antenna. I think this worked out very well. I still need to paint up the throat mic that is sitting on top of one of the radios. Also I have a radio operator figure and the long pieces that are only hooked on one side at the moment will go to his head set and throat mic.

Thanks for looking in!

The radio wiring looks great! The rest of the interior is not too shabby either
I look forward to seeing your next progress report.
