Now for something completely different,, well for me anyway.

I'm building this as a practice ready for my big build 88mm next year.

I'll be trying some weathering techniques as I go and hopefully gain some insight into armour type subjects.

Advice and comments welcome as always.

nice choice Adrian, ;)

cut the bits off into a plastic bag may help, I always manage to lose some think on a build,:rolleyes:
 
This should be an interesting build Adrian. Although I wonder if Polux meant a camouflage net?

Haha, you see why I don't do these sort of builds, I haven't a clue. Now you point it out though it makes more sense :)

That's for sure, only ever done one armour which was a Patton tank, or if you watch any 60's and 70's war films you may know it as a german tank, lol.

I have a Dragon 88mm flak with the metal barrel and a Trumpeter 12T SdKfz.8 Schwerer Zugkraftwagon ( copied from box as to me is a big truck ) I had planned to do this earlier in the year but looks like next years list now :)

So this is my practice I'm hoping to make it look at least realistic :)

I got some old square mesh lace you might be able to use for a camouflage net. I could drop some into your shop next Saturday if you're interested.

That's really kind of you, but I haven't been at work for 3 months now and I'm not sure when I'll be returning :(

Bit of progress, just basic colour's on for now, I broke my airbrush but thanks to Patrick's advice it wasn't fatal. Ordered my new part from John so as soon as that arrives I can continue.

Lots to do on it to make it look field worn, oh and a thank you to Dave for the lace to make a net.
