Mark Aldrich Posted February 5, 2012 Report Posted February 5, 2012 This is my current......Friday Nights build. Members of the Green Dragons meet over at someone house and we build. This is all I work on until it is assembled to the point that transporting it back and forth will cause damage. Next week, I hope to begin work on my Warhawk.
DennisTennant Posted February 6, 2012 Report Posted February 6, 2012 Looks like a pretty clean build, Mark.
Mark Aldrich Posted February 6, 2012 Author Report Posted February 6, 2012 It pretty much is OOTB. The MG will be changed for MG34s. markings are going to be a pain to find. Might end up using stencils. I have the Black Bog accessory set but it was deigned for the early version and some items may not fit.
Mark Aldrich Posted February 13, 2012 Author Report Posted February 13, 2012 Got the Base Color on. The Black Dog accessories don't all work becasue the kit is designed for an early version without the 5 gallon cans!
Mark Aldrich Posted February 17, 2012 Author Report Posted February 17, 2012 (edited) Laid on the decals and markings. These are the kit instrument decals. They all look great except for the far left shift diagram. The model actually has this molded on (I guess if you wanted to paint it). The aluminium plating around the black is too much for me. Also, it would look nicer had I realized it and shaved off the molded part. These are some of the SabingaMartin markings off the decal sheet. The registration number is for Ruth II (I think) but it is one of the few "low" number reisgtration decals available on the market. The three arrows designate Southern Command and I opted for the "Free hand" look. Edited February 17, 2012 by Mark Aldrich
802chrisg Posted February 18, 2012 Report Posted February 18, 2012 Looking Good. Looks like you have done a little graphite pencil work on the edges of the fenders already. Chris
Mark Aldrich Posted February 21, 2012 Author Report Posted February 21, 2012 Lots of painting done this weekend!
ghodges Posted February 21, 2012 Report Posted February 21, 2012 Oooo...inspirational work! I've got to paint bedrolls for my M-16, and I'm gonna try and make look just like yours! Lookin' good! GIL
Mark Aldrich Posted February 21, 2012 Author Report Posted February 21, 2012 (edited) Thanks Gil. I have been slowly deliberate about this one! Due to sooo many different bags, I want them all to have a different shade so I have pulled out all my paints looking for different variations of greens/grays/ browns/ tans and civilian colors too (not too many of those). Going to try my first use of aycrlic brush on red tonight. Edited February 22, 2012 by Mark Aldrich
Mark Deliduka Posted February 22, 2012 Report Posted February 22, 2012 You need to do a video or picture tutorial on how to paint that stowage. If I could get mine to look half that good, I'd be ecstatic, and all my models would be loaded with stowage!
Mark Aldrich Posted February 22, 2012 Author Report Posted February 22, 2012 Duke, So far it has been base coat, future, Model Master Schokolade Brown wash, flat coat, drybrush, and re-flat (if the base coat was semigloss or gloss[reds and blues]).
ghodges Posted March 1, 2012 Report Posted March 1, 2012 VERY nice! Inspiring work, that I hope to copy! Congrats! GIL
Mark Deliduka Posted March 1, 2012 Report Posted March 1, 2012 That's spectacular Mark! I am speechless! Well Done!!
