Stalking The Hills. Afganistan dio

[Eastrock]

Good work on the base shane.

I think what norm means you may have the same concept
of the dio not actually a jeep.

Shane ! Nice Dio idea you've got ... Love the Wolf ! and with Yankees in it... ? yeah I know.... they are using some of them ... why not ?

The whole concept sounds familiar ! I think someone else is working on the same ...(idea) but that's OK !

Looking forward to see more pictures of that KIT ... the engine alone rocks ! Keep up the good work!


Norm.

Sorry Norm for getting back to ya so late, some managed to miss the last two comments on the page...sorry again mate.
As for a similar build, i was unaware of a dio with the same subject, if you can recall the entry i can pop over and have a look. The last thing i want is to be building some thing similar to someone else.

thanks buddy

Good work on the base shane.

E, thanks for your comment and bringing Norms comment to my attention i totaly missed it, I hope its not the same theme or subject to another entry cause that would be bad at best. Hopefully when i track down the build that norm was mentioning to me, it'll be different to mine

thanks for your comments and support lads,


shane.

Thanks for that E, was getting worried that someone may beaten me it

Not a problem, Shane it still depend on the outcome of the build... it may be similar during the build if there is but finishing would be different.

looking forward your progress

cheers E, the diorama norm mentioned is scotts Lybain Pickup dio, which is a much diffierent a topic and theme to my entry


build update:

got the engine and firewall painted up and weathered which was blast ! ;D









the engine block got a couple of coats of Vallejo gunmetal grey, then washes of shadow brown, GW devlin mud and GW Black Ink were added. a graphite pencle was ran along the edges add a little wear and a light wash of mig pigments finished off the stage

The firewall was painted with Vallejo Grey Green and washed in shadow brown and chipping was added with a fine brush, the intake screen was painted flat black on both sides and given a wash of Mig's light dust after a layer a of varnish was down.








thats all for now gents,


cheers

Howdie all,


did a little work the base today, added the groundwork with modelling clay. Hopefully it wont crack as it crues :-\



also added a few rocked made of blue foam here and there, and a small wall at the turn in the road was constructed the foam and slowly built up with white glue






more soon,


shane

 

[spud]

Hi all

quick update to share with you ;D

Painted up the base with german camo. Beige after a layer of fine grit was sprinkled over the base and sealed with a PVA water mix.



after a few coats of beige i then applied a heavy coat of cithedals delvin mud which is a grat little product. Though im a big fan of GW paints, i have to say their washes are pretty good




next on the list is to dry brush some highlights on the base,

till then,


shane.

 

[spud]
