Cheers Tim!....Looking good in it’s underwear Andy
.... Does a bit doesn`t he..... I suppose i could go the whole Hog and carve his Hard Hat into a Fez?!!
,Andy
Hi Steve,
.... If he`s anything like i am these days,it`d be just whilst doing his FOURTH sit up!!
Andy
OK then Chaps,.... a further update.....
There won`t be much in the way of weathering/Damage going on for this build,just a bit of "Dirtyting up". Reason is quite brutal really......
These things may well have been Top Notch when first launched about 1930,however,by the outbreak of WW2 they were seriously behind the times,so they looked pretty pristine ...... until they got involved in a scrap...... then that was pretty much exactly what they,almost instantly,became!!
Because of the weird camo scheme,(Never have quite understood this style?),this won`t be going into a full blown Diorama......Just a simple base,a "Half Diorama" if you like.... or a "Christian" as i like to call them........ as in "Dior"..... see what i did there?!!..... OK ,i`ll get me coat!
Anyway,enough of my Ramblings.... PROGRESS.......
The obvious thing to do when trying something new,(IE Brush painting this Tri camo),is to practice on an old kit/Test piece........
...... NAH.........
.... Just get stuck in i say.Rather Garish at that stage.Wasn`t sure about doing the Black edging that some of this style Camo is shown with,and actual pics of these MK A`s are hard to come by,but i did find this one......
A bit hard to see,but you can make out said Blackness,mainly on the upper Hull stuff. SO......
Not perfect by any means,a bit of touching up needed i now notice,but it`s getting there.... that`s also,more less the extent that the whole thing will be weathered to.
More over the weekend.... Good fun this.... I`d recommend this kit to anyone,
Thanks for looking in,
Cheers for now,
Andy
