[john i am]

Looking great Monica will you be using hairspray for your winter camo effect

 

[monica]

so that you are all like it so far, Lee, Joe,Ken,

yes John, thats the way in trying to do her, after the red/brown, 2 coats of hairspray, then the green, and another 2 coats of hairspray,

then the final, 2 coats, one a russian/gray over a dirty white, so will let that set fr tonight,

and maybe get some time in the next 2 days or my sunday before i can get much more done, then do most of the chipping and put the bits and bobs on

and for some reason the green is showing much more then in real life,

never done this type of thing before so just trying away i was thinking off ? maybe it will work out ok ?

hope you like her so far

i do know that there is splatter, hear and there but will come out with the chipping,

that AB and I just dont get along at times gggrrrrrrrrrrr

Hi Moni, it's a deceiving angle, the level with the tank looks fine but then you put the figure there and it looks to high, if it was mine, I'd drop the first floor a couple of millimetres...see what everyone else comes up with?

In the mean time keep up the good work but you still need to work on the scale of your cat, still slightly to big!

Lee

 

[Guest]

Hi moni I agree I think drop it a bit, but I think it depends a lot on how wide the floor on the outside of the building will be if you know what I mean.

 

[monica]

haha hi lee, yes see what a trouble maker he is eating my per-painted bits of rubble, he is just to big to put in a dio, lol,

that is what i was thinking ,as well for the figure its far to high, but the tank should real be at about the top of the windows, which should make that about 70mm

so to the 1st floor should only be about 75 to 80mm tops in a farm house, ?

 

[monica]

hi Ken, well what im trying to get is like the front part of the house is broken, with say about 1/2 to 3/4 lefted,

but I, think both you and Lee, has answered it by dropping it down by at lease 10 mm should like ok, ? i hope,

 

[monica]

well lowered the floor but 10 mm,looks much better i thing so mite lower the top half but 10 to 15 mm as well,

as from what i can see most of the top floor is in the pitch of the roof ,not so much as a real floor so to say
