SPA Modeler

Sorry Bruce I would if the Howitzer wasn't already finished. Just put a flat coat on it today. I'll get photos up tomorrow. In the end the instructions had 13 miss marked parts. It's a Dragon kit after all. I'm going to concentrate more on how I build a diorama on this one.

Here's a few photos I just got done with a pin wash to start the weathering, I need to go back in with some clean enamel thinner and get a few tide marks and places I don't like. The photos never lie and really help me a lot in this stage showing what I need to fix.




I see a place in the second photo on the tire that needs fixed and then repainted. I thought that would show up on the bottom so didn't worry about hitting that seam. It's what I get for trying to cut corners. It's not glued in place yet just being held on with some bluetac so will be a easy fix.

Thanks for looking in!

Clint, looks pretty good to me, but you have to be happy with it. Then again, I only have one eye that works.....just sayin.

Lol thank you Lyle, I do think it looks good just got to tidy it up a bit.
