Rick's 1/87 Scale Roco/Komo Zis.-5 for Mr.T

[Mini Me]

Actually JR, it is Lindt (other brands are available)......it measures .003" or .08 mm thick.....very thin and tears easily if not handled carefully. I guess you didn't notice the SS number plates......the Germans used anything with wheels that ran, as they were desperately short of wheeled transport. I have more than one photo of Rooskie equipment with German flags and markings on them. Thanks for stopping by and the fun comments. Rick H.

Got some Flat Lacquer in the flag today and when that cures I shall attempt to give it a neutral grey wash, as suggested by Andy the "Paint Guy".........will post up pics. when I get some results worth sharing. Rick H.

No have to admit I didn't spy the plates Rick, sorry .:upside:
Lindt arh have heard of it, thanks for that .

Got a wash of neutral gray on as Andy (the paint guy) suggested.............I think it toned it down considerably. the first two shots before , the second two after, what do you all think? Rick H.

[Guest]

I think that's worked really well Rick.

Toned it down a little, taking the edge off the brightness, but it still pops out as you would expect.

[Tim Marlow]

I second that. Reds are hard to handle. Nice bit of desaturation on a great build.

[Guest]

Looking very nice indeed Rick.

[stillp]

Yup! That worked well.

Thank you very much for your comments Gentlemen and thanks to Andy for a tip worth remembering for future bright items that may need to be calmed down a little.....I'll now get a little bit of clear flat over the top of that to seal it and get on with the pigments to dirty things up a bit. Glad you all stopped by. Rick H.

[Steve Jones]

[Mini Me]

Thanks Lee, good to hear from you and glad you are liking it. I have been doing a brown weather wash on the tarps to dirty them up a bit. Should be getting a coat of clear flat lacquer on everything tomorrow. I'll post up some pics. when things dry out.
