You Can't See the Bears

This is a first for me A Sprue with Poo!

This made me laugh ..

[Twokidsnosleep]

Oh that is hilarious...we want to see that you get all the shading correct on it when you paint those road apples

[Muzrik]

Sorry about the quality of the photos guys, as you can probably tell I'm using my phone..

First thing I noticed seam lines



A little later after using my Ultimate sanders I think it came out ok


After gluing both halves of one of the horses together it did have a bit of a gap



I used some Tamiya Putty on this


I thought I had a photo of sanding this down but I don't

I glue the head on & sand back a ridge line this caused


Then I used the Tamiya Putty again to fill in some little gaps


I try to sand the neck smooth ready for primmer, I have also been repeating the process with the other horse

I am having so much fun with this

Haha, maybe considering the poo the gap at the back is supposed to be there

Glad you're enjoying this, I know I am just watching it.

That never even crossed my mind Thank's for your comments & checking this out.

I didn't like the way the tail was sitting just using glue. So with a little web search I think pinning the tail on the horse is the way to go if you pardon the pun So used my friend Youtube & found someone using Paper Clips for the wire " Another great idea "

That is not a Poo Hole
Test fit went ok


Used super glue to put the pin in place & then fitted both parts togrther..


The two figures went together quiet quick.

A little clean up & ready for Primer, I'm using Vallejo Black Primer

Airbrushed using H&S at 27psi

Oooooo they are in a tent
Does the bear attack them in the tent?? I bet he does, attacks them in the dead of night
They probably left their food with them in the tent so as to attract the bear

I am having a slow afternoon at work

Excellent, just putting my Poundland Food Cover to good use as a dust sheet

[Muzrik]

Don't know anything about painting animals at all and only painted a couple of 1/35 figures.
I have Tamiya & Vallejo paints & Master Box callout sheet is Vallejo,so Like with all my models if I don't have the exact colour I just make do which looks ok to me.
For the Horses

Base on this is XF-64 & XF-15 in places


Here I used XF-55 Then sprayed big dots of XF-64


Next the base clothing colour for the figures

I used the Lighter Blue just on the riders trousers

[Muzrik]

I can't remember when I pick this up but it must have been on Sale.
In this pack you get six pots all different colours 2,Base/2,Hi-lights & 2,Shadow

I used 1 of the base colours on the rider & I use the lighter of the 2 Shadow pots as the base for the Tracker

They are coming alive
