[JohnSimmons]

lol. Ok some actual REAL photos now, not much of an update, all I've been doing is cutting and cleaning tiny parts that fit in the cab. I'm tempted to just primer these grey and hand paint them all.....

Sorry its just bare plastic at the mo.

 

[Junkie]

[adampolo13]

three fire extinguisher's are done badly.

Can you please explain why you think these were done badly? I think they look great!

 

[JohnSimmons]

Lol Well yeah they look better in person.

 

[Junkie]

Of course they look 'better' in person dude. They are the size of a tick! They look great. My eyes hurt.

 

[JohnSimmons]

Thanks man. They took an hour and a half! What was I doing for all that time?! An hour and a half I tell you. Tonight's modelling session was not up there with the best of em lol

 

[Junkie]

They are thy...takes time.

 

[Big-John]

Great work on the fire extinguishers. They look fine. This one makes me want to dig my kit out of the stash

 

[JohnSimmons]

Nice shading man.

 

[JohnSimmons]

Cheers man. Got the highlights on tonight, quite happy with how it turned out. I love LC paint so realistic, and it was shot through that tiny single action Iawata ;D


And I had to put it on the chassis for fun:

Thanks for looking, so much cool stuff going on in these group builds!
