cheers ian

well after ian confirmed my thoughts heres what ive done now the second question would it be green or the red primer if you think it is the second i can easily change it oh and ive got to tone down the green down a little to BRIGHT!!!!

and started to mud it up one more small coat less is more kind of

cheers for looking in

 

[Ian M]

Not sure about the primer, but in theory they could of painted the tank then put the covers on.. I would just tone it down a bit then give it a bit of gunk and grime around that, wonderfully panted exhaust pipe, (which might benefit from a dab of oily black up the inside, not even my cars exhaust is that clean inside lol ).

(Sorry I have just been giving my quad a once over and my eye is in micro mode at the minute)

dont worry about it"if you see it say it" as a game show host use to say cheers for tips keep them coming

 

[Centurion3RTR]

This is what i've heard, "there was no time to prime them at all, so just two layers of the same paint". But that was for the KV's, it may of been the same for the SU's too. Like Ian, tone it a little and away you go.

Have fun, John

well finished finally just got the tracks to put on and give the front and back wheels some metallic shine and on to finishing the base

 

[Andy]

That is fantastic, simply stunning - love the detail!

What did you use for the mud?

 

[geegad]

cheers andy thank you very much i do blush..and the mud is mud from my back garden mixed with the pva add more soil to give the darker colour

 

[Ian M]

You have certainly beaten the Cr"p out of that one.

Loving it!

Can hardly wait to see the completed build. Is it going on a base or in a diorama?
