discussion Trumpeter's AS-90 and some extra's.

I hadn’t expected that, to be honest. It looks so heavy with that big barrel and the brass at the end that I kind of expected it to drop to maximum depression if you don’t glue the gunshield in place.

Jakko, it is heavy but it was reasonably firm, even firmer now.

A little bit of leakage on the primer but nothing too bad, will be an easy touchup.

Ross,
Looking very nice the paint has brought out all the detail.

Hi Ross,
You’ve made a lovely job of the build...looks nice with a bit of primer on it:thumb2:

 

[RM6239]

Paul and Si, cheers guys.

And now it's green, though I see some spots that were missed looking at the photos. I tried some pre-shading but I think I went a bit heavy over it and cancelled it out.

Back to the spray booth to fix up those spots.

Ross.
Going back to the painting on the kit,agree with Steve that shading is most effective. Dam PE, It doesn't matter how long I look at the drawings I bet I can invert it as well. Still the stowage will cover any sighting of incorrect bends. Certainly a nice primer coat, followed by the green. You will soon touch up any bits that you can see, from here it looked good ! .

Hi Ross,
you've certainly cracked on with this - looked in for a catch up and found it almost finished :thumb2:

 

[Steve Jones]

Coming along nicely mate. Hope all goes well with the weathering. Muddy or dusty look??

 

[RM6239]

John, yeah mate no matter how long I look at it, guaranteed to get it wrong.
Simon, yeah a couple of good sessions and it came together pretty quickly.
Steve, I think dusty, I keep trying but never seem to get one looking like I want.

Did some highlighting of the green, lot of it has gone under the black though :disappointed2:. Sitting under a protective coat atm.

Broke one of the rear view mirrors of course but the repair looks ok.

cheers

Ross,

Nice work on the paint really looking the part.

 

[RM6239]

Paul, thanks mate.

Decals and stowage on, except for the big one at the front, need to do some work on it to get it to sit correctly. Also going to have to touch up some now that they are fitted.

Mirrors are always a beeatch for getting broken. Glad you managed to salvage them. Stowage and decals looking good:thumb2:
