Ask and you shall receive....

So yesterday I airbrushed on a coat of Future overall before I went to work. When I got home last nite, I put on the decals...



Blink and you'll miss them... all two of them...





So now the tank is ready for weathering...

Today I started on the crew figures. The kit figure looks good in the drivers hatch... at least for now



and I'm gonna use a couple of the Trumpter figures in the turret. They match the kit figure in stature, but are much better molded...





all three as I plan for now...



Time for washes and figure painting to begin tomorrow...

Oh boy!



Lookin' incredibly good!



Beyond words!!

Just wait my friend. In a few more days I will do the "fancy" stuff... well for me and armor anyways...

.... where is it...

ah



ahhhhh. So good. Excellent work. Excellent photos of excellent work. Excited to see how you paint the tank men!!

It's coming. I only got in a few minutes of work this midday before work. So it will be Monday before I get a good bench session in... spare time is just not on my plate right now.

It’s comng along well. Life has gotten a bit in the way over the past few weeks so no bench time. Maybe I can get it wrapped up in the next couple of weeks.

Thanks Bruce. I finished up all four Trumpeter figures. And then it was time for paint. I was using Italeri (made by Vallejo) Flesh for a base color. Which went on perfectly fine on the Tamiya figure. But on the Trumpeter figures it began to bead up badly. So I cleaned it up before it dried and really screwed things up. Now I am looking at airbrushing on some Gunze Flesh (which hand brushed terribly in my experience) as soon as I have sufficient time. Probably on my upcoming days off.

Wow I've missed a lot - Fantastic progress Stik, I'm really liking how that has come out thus far.
looking forward to seeing more progress!
