discussion Little Green Men....On Holiday In Ukraine (The Build)

[takeslousyphotos]

The floorpan is done .......... The decals on the rear wheel arches we a bit of a pain .......... several gallons of microsol later I finally got them in place ......... Now the big question ???? ........... How long to leave the decals it before I Matt Coat it ....... ??????


.......... and the paint is black. It looks green in the photo (I guess the white balance is off kilter).

looking good Peter,do like that,


and a silly thing to ask but the camo decals did come with the kit or you made them ?

 

[aaron]

They come with the kit Monica, the vid on the 1st page is a complete build and Worth a look. It's actually a good channel with spanish builders doing complete Meng builds...oh and a tamiya t34

 

[monica]

ta Aaron i will have to have a look at it,


remember i used the ute and that was a great kit to make,

 

[takeslousyphotos]

As Aaron says they come with the kit ....... and I'm still trying to work out why the inside of the vehicle is a camo pattern ............ The walls and the inside of the roof are completely camo decals ????


Peter

 

[monica]

thats a bit strange i must say,


maybe if it was me i would just paint the inside to how you think it would be,

 

[aaron]

It's fabric on the real thing, an awesome representation.

thats a bit strange i must say,

I think I might consider that ........ All the fittings, Ammo Racks, seat supports and stuff are "Grey Blue" and the inner door panels are supposed to be "white" along with the interior light fittings ?????

.....Ah..... that would explain it ........... I suppose with a "Matt Coat it might look better.

 

[monica]

so Peter, you have a choose to or not too lol, and thats such a big help ha,

 

[takeslousyphotos]

so Peter, you have a choose to or not too lol, and thats such a big help ha,

Well I still have the seat frames to finish, the ammo rack for the grenade launcher and the platform for the top gunner to finish and fit to the floor pan ........... So I have a little while to come to a decision.

 

[monica]

haha oh lol yes you do have some time ,and you know what you would like,

 

[Guest]

The decals look cool.

[takeslousyphotos]

I guess I'm going to have to stick with the decals .........

 

[Snowman]

Those are funky decals...cool camo pattern!

 

[takeslousyphotos]

At last .......... The floorpan is done. Seats and stuff are all in and the floorpan is now mated to the chassis........ Next up inside door panels .......
