Got the running gear half done! Still need to do the upper part of the track and want to add some oil and grease.

Hope you like it so far?? Not sure if I'm still being a bit heavy with the weathering?? What you all think??

Post by **alextheblue** » Wed May 07, 2014 8:52 am

Looks great to me Nige and I like the colour you got from mixing the pigments - might have to pinch that if thats ok!!

And man-alive all that stowage!!

There's so much that you will need stowage to keep your stowage in! This is shaping up very nicely and can't wait to see your next update.

Looking good mate, great use of our washes

Post by **Nige99** » Thu May 08, 2014 11:46 pm

Got some more done tonight. I used a mig pigment mix of brick dust/gulf war sand and pigment fixer on the glazer plate. And then used a soft lead pencil to give the effect of the crew scrambling up the tank

Post by **Coen** » Fri May 09, 2014 12:10 am

Now that's starting to look like something Nige! Nice work with that pencil bud, that really goes a long way to add effect. Done that many times myself.

Post by **Nige99** » Fri May 09, 2014 7:56 am

Cheers Mike glad you like the effect.

Post by **Nige99** » Fri May 09, 2014 7:58 am

Post by **Nige99** » Sat May 10, 2014 10:16 pm

Cheers for the comments guys, glad you like it. I've now got to wait for the stowage to turn up. In the mean time I'll make a start on the crew.

Got some headway on the dio base, thanks to a trip up yo Paul's.

Need to pick out the cobble stones in different shades then gloss the street and bench then and weather it.

Post by **alextheblue** » Wed Jun 04, 2014 8:34 am

That's looking really great Nige - loved the tank on its own, then you added the stowage and now the base - thats some great work!!

Post by **Paul** » Wed Jun 04, 2014 9:01 am

Looks great mate, love the fencing in the background, looks so real

Post by **Coen** » Wed Jun 04, 2014 11:28 am
