4Bo at the ready!!

[Tim Marlow]

I’m also following, I read most everything on the forum, but don’t always comment if time is limited or I don’t have anything useful to add (This is most of the time LOL)....By the way, if you don’t think people are interested in this build, you want to try 28mm figures :loudly-crying:

Many thanks all

Its down to being a teacher and the importance of feedback! Always had students asking me, how did i do, did i pass, what was wrong etc

Really appreciate the replies, not forgetting the Steve's, H and Jones!!! Fantastic advice, support and guideance from them!!!

[Steve Jones]

Let me introduce you Bob to the world of white and brown envelopes. Any size or thickness will do but obviously larger and thicker the better. Please make sure all notes (no coinage please) are well sanitised due to the Covid. Scottie runs the safety deposit box end of the operation and he will give you details of where to send the money and the key collection point for a small fee of course. If you have trouble getting over the border due to lockdown JR runs a once a week nightly shuttle from the border to the safety deposit box for a small fee also. :smiling5: :smiling2::smiling5::thumb2:

More than happy to help my friend. Looking forward to seeing more progress shots as you get to grips with the joys of modulation

[SteveH]

You still have a cheque book?

Had an hour of spluttering AB, nothing done but clean, clean, clean and clean again ,left to soak overnight

Perhaps we will both have a better day tomorrow?

Take care and enjoy the rest, recharge & research

Perhaps a cure for rubber cheques LOL

All down to.you and Steve H!!

Going to leave now, got work to do on the fuel tanks then varnish, decal and weathering!

Just sprayed a Pz 11 in dunkelgrau for next modulation practice then the StuH

[SteveH]

Getting there Bob,

Your first picture has a good contrast and is green, the other 3 seem to have lost their colour?

Its always fun to play and your first wash will take the modulation down several notches straight away.

Enjoy the weathering, its the bit that most modelers really look forward to.

Have a good weekend and hopefully some energy to keep playing

Many thanks Steve, your help and advice is very much appreciated!!

A lot more practice is needed!!

[BattleshipBob]

While the horrible 4BO beast dries after a coat of gloss ready for decals the part i like the bestest weathering, i have got on with the kits rubber band tracks

used a mixture of dust, dark and dry mud pigments and then a silicon pencil to apply dark steel pigments to hopefully show contact with roads after the beast left the country side into a town.



Not sure if I need to reapply the dark steel onto the tracks, to make them shine a bit more???

cheers bob

[Graeme C.]

They look ok to me Bob, mud & dust would cover some of the contact areas.
