[Guest]

Another nice subject Monica, looking forward to seeing how this one turns out.

 

[Guest]

A nice looking kit Monica, although you'll have to restrain your heavy weathering on this one!

 

[papa 695]

[Steve Brodie]

Chair pulled up, cabbage soup on the stove and vodka poured

 

[PaulTRose]

after doing the BMP2 ive developed an interest in Russian stuff so will like watching this one going together

 

[monica]

thank you all so very much ,do appreciate your comments and so glad that you like it,

glad that you do like this one,Patrick,yes ,yes ,I know,its a matter of these last few touches lol,


but this one I have plans for a whole  different camo,,setting , so it will be done,reasonable  , 9_9

 

[monica]

well an update on this one,have the crocodile together, 9_9


some parts were a tad bit fiddly,but no major problems,but all in all,a nice build,


next will be the ase coat then,start on my camo,and yes there will be a surprise,as we jump 70 yrs forwards to modern day,


I know maybe some think you should not do,but the Rission,did have a lot of surplus after the war,and things are always found in sheds,


and so on,


but It will all tie together,as what setting I,m put it in,


well I do hope you like my idea,time for a wee kip,

with the paint,the AB,would not spray then splatter,and so on,but no real biggie all can be fix,

Monica, how do your WIP threads go from sprue shots to the built model??   I think you've got some kind of stasis field around your workbench!


That camo scheme you're attempting would really have been easier if you'd masked off the colours, rather than doing it freehand. But I'm sure you'll turn a dogs dinner into the dogs danglies 


Nice toenail varnish btw

 

[Guest]

Liking the look of this Monica even if you do say it's a dogs dinner right now.

 

[Guest]

I dont think it looks too bad, many times camo schemes have soft edges especially in modern vehicles that get re-painted quite often.

I'm not saying it's bad Bob, just that the real life pics Monica posted clearly show a hard-edged pattern.

Monica, how do your WIP threads go from sprue shots to the built model?? 

You beat me to it Patrick. It would be nice Monica if you could include some shots of the actual build. It is all part of the process of a group build. I'm not saying you should take a photo of every single part you glue together, but a few more inbetween shots would be interesting. 
You are new to the GB's so still learning the ropes. I have been into the GB's from the start and even now I forget to take them. I know we all get tied up in the moment so dont be sad about it.

0o,I get it so next time more in between shots,at different stages,it was one of these build,that you kind of had to study the instruction,s a lot so ,the last thing was,


taking a pic after ever other part if you ,know what I mean,but next time,will do,

I did try to use some type of masking,as you can see from the pic,but it did,work in away and other ways no,as its got all bits and bob,s that wont,let it sit,


so what I will do is get some,tack,and do ,repair bits,


and I was just having trouble with my paints as well,even there model air,there just being painful to use, :$


glad you like the nail paint,do try to keep it on my finger nails as wel,but have that very wreathed look,

thank you Bob,I think some times I,m ,to hard on myself as well,as this is a all new ,camo style well,

thank you Terry,glad that you do like what I,m trying to do hear and will get it sorted,
