[Guest]

Gun is looking good , though I know the problems with fit and brittle pieces you've been having. Tractor looks like a dream to build, though I hate those sectional tracks.
just take your time you'll git it dun! Love POPS

That tractor looks like a soviet kicked r.s.o


I really like the look of it. Nice work so far on the arty piece mate.

It does now that you mention it. Dying to start it but keep telling myself to complete the gun first. Oh well no work tomorrow so I can keep plugging on the gun. Almost ready for a darkwash.

Ok so finally got to do a little more work on the gun. Have to secure a few more small pieces and shes done. I darkwashed it with brown and black. Have to do one more darkwash to cover some small areas a little better and then I can start putting some color on her. I will cover each paint step as I go. All painting is done by hand.[ATTACH]105927.IPB[/ATTACH]

Find a better spot to photo or get another light on it, camera tends to darken pics once they go on the comp. MORE LIGHT DAMN YOU!!

Wash looks good is it straight on raw plastic?

I paint with acrylic paint Aaron. All I do is mix some brown and black thinned with water so it soaks into all the crevices.

Just showing some progress , will be in better light for the paint job pics and finished pics. Although they may not be for a little while , I was so happy to finish building this godforsaken thing that now I promptly pushed it aside to start on the tractor. Been walking past the desk for weeks now and looking at that gun and just not wanting to deal with it. Now its done (except little things like equipment being mounted on it which I have to paint first anyway) . I started the tractor last night and breezed through 10 steps on the instructions without any problems , so Im actually enjoying this part rather then hating it like the gun.
