Here's my finished Toon kit.
Excellent kit.
I snipped off most of the locating thingies to make the build easier and to prevent me from snapping anything clean off! The kit is that well engineered, most weren't needed anyway!
It is all brush painted and weathered using Vallejo Model Air acrylics. I kept the weathering to a minimum, mainly on the side skirts, and front and rear under bits.
The small disc camouflage is done by twirling a small cut down brush. Similar to a 'Turk's Head', which this type of brush used to be called before all the P.C. nonsense came along. (Other nationalities are available) The 'Fun' decals and chain are from my spares bits.
I like to try and get the camo. pattern running up and over the turret.
There you go.....
Would I build another? Probably not. It was an excellent kit to make and although I thoroughly enjoyed the build I suspect it was more a curiosity thing to see just what these kits where all about. I wasn't disappointed and I recommend Toons to anyone who is thinking about building one. (If only one) But please, treat them with respect. In my book they are a subject in their own right and certainly not a 'Toy'
Thanks to Pete for bringing this unique type of model making to my attention.
Cheers.
