F-16 for parts reclamation

[0ne48thtel]

The hummer is all but done with just a couple of bits to add.

I have also had a go at painting the rattlers but need to redo them as the patches of earth colour are to far apart.View attachment 86741

[john i am]

Hummer n snakes look great looking forward to the conclusion of this dio plenty of pics at the end please

 

[0ne48thtel]

Thanks John I will try on the picture front

Those figures are nicely painted Terry, bit zombie in the eyes though at that stage. The black fella on the left, is that 'Will I Am'?

 

[0ne48thtel]

Thanks Joe I agree they do have a bit of a zombie look at the moment but they will change as more paint is added.

 

[0ne48thtel]

Some of the figures have now had a second and third brown added but I am not sure if they look right. By that I mean to me the dpm looks to splodgey. I do have two more colours to go so it may even out ifyou know what I mean.View attachment 87252

These two are nearly finished with only one colour to add. I am still not sure if I like them but when you take the camera factor out of it and use normal vision they don't look to bad.

They look pretty good to me Terry. Always the way with figures in such a small scale, when you zoom in with a camera you can see every imperfection on them. They will look good with the diorama.

 

[0ne48thtel]

I think you are right Joe. Once they are on the back drop of sand they shouldn't look to bad.

 

[treyzx10r]

Terry the treatment you gave the canvas on the Hummer looks great,very authentic. I'm with Joe the figures will look fine set in the dio.

 

[0ne48thtel]

Cheers Trey.

 

[dubster72]

I think they look great Terry! 1/35 scale

figures are hard enough, let alone these smaller ones top job!

 

[0ne48thtel]

Thanks Patrick

 

[0ne48thtel]

That's the final colour added for the DPM now to finish the faces and paint the boots then job done.View attachment 87299

This morning I have started to add some of the figures to the Dio. The Hummer and the figures in and around it have been glued in place as has the guy with the snake catchers pole. The figure with the under carriage door is just dry positioned as there is a couple of things I need to finish on him.View attachment 87386

Those snakes looks real mate, love the overall dio scene. Well done

 

[0ne48thtel]

Thanks Leo glad you like it.

 

[flyjoe180]

The bloke with the door looks like Murdoch from the A-Team. Stick a cigar in his hand or mouth, perfect Seriously though Terry, they look very good. The snake is quite convincing.

 

[0ne48thtel]

Thanks Joe the snake still needs a little work.
