discussion papa 695s 1/35 British Saladin Mk2

[papa 695]

I've now got most of the Saladin completed, nearly ready for some paint. Got the figures done for it and the main gun, I just need to make the gun cover for it then that can be fitted.

Thank you Monica, I'm going to try and make one myself first.

will be interested to see how it turns out,

Well I've used some milliput White for the gun cover or whatever it's called. I need to paint it to see how it realy looks.

It's been a while but I've got it all together and painted it green, ready for the black part of the camo.

Looking nice, and I suspect there isn't loads of tiny decals to slap on everywhere..

Thanks Colin, and like you say hardly any decals at all.

 

[papa 695]

I don't know why I stopped building this one, but I've moved on with it. All built and painted, all decals on. I think I need to take a look on google to see what I need to add to this as the kit is prity sparse, I know I need to add a tow rope.

Hi Colin, not only is the kit sparce it's even harder to find. Good that you have continued with it. Some highlights and wash will bring out more detail and definitely needs weathering. Figures are :thumb2:. I have a few kits like yours stopped for no reason except mothballed for future dioramas.

Cheers,
Richard
