Hi Jim, glad you like the chipping mate, thanks ^^
Mister Jones! I sure have a dedicated modelling room now, about 12 square metres, and the left wall has an in built cupboard over the entire length and height of the room
.
Bit of progress. I painted the long distance weapon of Tallgeese: the Dober Gun. It's quite a nice assembly with even a working recoil mechanism, which - as with Dragon's Tiger tanks - is quite useless for a static model I think. Some filling and sanding were done over the last couple of weeks and today the paint came out of the
airbrush:
For the parts: - gun main body/breach:
Tamiya XF-63 German Grey
- Gun barrel: Mr. Color H68 Dark Grey
- small gun barrel piece (
): Mr. Color 324 Light Grey
- Gun Sight:
Tamiya X-3 Royal Blue
After that the Dober Gun was assembled and final tiny pieces were added. I gave it a light wet sanding with 2000 grit sandpaper. Tomorrow I hope I can can spray the clearcoat and add the
decals.
But just to show the main gun, a photo:
Quite handy: those different styles of finger parts you get in the kit. You can model the Tallgeese with closed hands, fingers open, or fingers around a part like the Dober Gun or the swords/shield.
I also painted the pilot of Tallgeese: a chap called Zechs Merquise. He's quite tiny
. Vallejo paints were used. I'll clearcoat him as well next time and add some pinwashes. If I don't forget it I will make a photo of the figure next to a real life object just to show how small the chap is.
Cheers
