Re: Academy M3A1 WIP
Oh I have not even started any exterior weathering… only the interior so far. I got the floorboards nice and dirty like i remember how my old tracks used to get

Re: Academy M3A1 WIP
It’s been a busy last couple of weeks here with a couple of road trips a d some other family business going on, but in between all that I did make some progress on this build…
I added the 3D printed headlight brush guards and engine exhaust screen into place…. Note to self, the engine screen is better installed before the hull is glued together top to bottom on my next M3 build… some weathering mud should address the worst of this..



Then later in the week I finished up adding the Real Colors OD base color





I only need to install the front armored flaps, then I can start on weathering and markings….

Re: Academy M3A1 WIP
Great additions.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..
