That's a perfect item for a chipping effect!!! Specially on the gun barrel and the inner soil


You have all my attention!

 

[Wong Ryan]

Thanks for dropping by people..hope i won't disappoint you all. Its really my first half track.

 

[Wong Ryan]

Been away for sometime. Progress is very slow. Painted and chipped the interior. Camo color is on, and waiting for chipping.


Oh...and this is the first time I am using Acrylic paint for the painting. Pretty difficult at first to adjust the thinner + color ratio, and my airbrush keeps getting clog.

welcome back, :D


this is looking good so far Ryan,im real liking it it,


as for AB clogging well i know all about that drivers me nuts lol,:mad:

 

[Wong Ryan]

After another long disappearance from the scene, I am back with some updates.


Pics a bit blur, taken with my mobile phone.


Added tools, machine gun, a bucket and tracks are on. Decals are on too. The kit is very shinnnnnyyyyy now due to a coat of Future.


The track is a bit narrow, if zoom in, you will see the outer wheels that are not within the width of the track. Too late to rectify though, because the super glue already set in when I realize that. Will take note of this when I build my next half-track.


Next will be pin wash and some slight weathering. I hope I will be able to control the weathering, always "heavy handed" on this process.

Dear all


Thank you for dropping by and the kind words.


I hope to finish this by end of this week.


Another subject on the workbench is a 1/700 IJN Aircraft Carrier Unryu ... a killer project. I must have gone crazy. Updates will be posted soon.
