Had some fun :)

[eddiesolo]

I haven't been on much nor have I built anything since the Vulcan Shuttle, my usual hand problems have flared up.


However, just had a good couple of hours airbrushing my 1/16 Heng Long RC Tiger 1. It had the basic grey and then I added some green and tan camo, just rough as in the field type stuff. I went back, got it on the bench and have done it in snow camo, the grey, green and tan just showing through with some heavier squiggle lines in white.


Once dry I will lightly sand back to give a more worn look then I will be adding some rusting.


Feel good, although the AB caused my hand to cramp a few times, does show in a couple of splodges, I don't care, once the weather is better I will out chasing lado and his Sherman.

Would a "trigger" style spray gun be easier for you?... I saw lots of them when I was looking for a starter one recently.

Good that you are managing to do something.

I have one stuart, just as bad really. Just have to do a bit at a time, problem is I am impatient get started and want to finish.

Cheers guys, just a bad time with the weather etc, a flare up is bound to happen. I get bored though and sit in the shed with the heater on, but half the time I know I cannot do anything so it gets frustrating. Like I said though re-vamped the Tiger so looking forward to getting that out and running. Will get some piccies up when finished.

[eddiesolo]

Here are some piccies of the tank, no tracks as they are being painted.
