Old male armour

[GaryG64]

I've decided to make a small diorama. I ordered this kit to incorporate with the tank.

 

[GaryG64]

Recieved the kit today. Very tedious on some of the seam lines, which are not many or large.
The detail is very nice, even in the small pistol and even the man blowing the whistle.
I used my 1917 one cent

 

[GaryG64]

I have the soldiers trimmed, put together, and primed. I've never heard of Master Box, but I'm impressed of the amount of detail.

 

[wjbrandel]

I've used masterbox before and I like their figures because of the detail

 

[GaryG64]

I'm trying a different technique with the figures. I'm making washes and using them in a layer fashion instead of straight from the bottle.
I'll just keep on building they layers until I like the effect, so far it seems to be working for me.

 

[GaryG64]

Got the figures mostly done. I still need to add their gear and guns

Thanks guys. I think the wash technique might be my go to now.

 

[kevin]

Yes, that technique is very interesting, I like it.

Thanks Kevin

 

[GaryG64]

I finished the figures. Now it's time to build the trench.

 

[GaryG64]

I'm trying my hand to make planks look the best I can with oil paints.

Looking pretty convincing to me. Pantherman

We had a big bad storm with tornadoes come through our area and the Houston area yesterday.an ariel tonado buzz through our neighborhood. Half of our large Pin Oak was lost, twisted off and thrown into the street.
More than 700 thousand housholds are without power.
No power, no lights, no build.
This build and my future battleship Texas will be on hold for a few days up to a week or longer.
I hope not.

Dang , sorry you got the bad end of that .
Centerpoint is usually pretty fast

We've been lucky these past few weeks since all the vicious weather has stayed north of here .

Thank you. We are all OK. Tonight will be a warm one, making it unpleasant to sleep.
