The Disney's Mater

[Polux]

Hi friends!

Every day, I have the sensation; I’m founding my place on the modelling world!

After my recent work, I’m discovering that really like to do similar builds like the Pink Panther one's, Sci-Fi items or different things like the John’s sign.....in a few words, build a weathered and dusty Sherman bores me every day more.....

Who don’t know this lovely character from the Disney factory? :P

I found it the other day on my friend’s shop. A little child wants to play with it, and he opens the box and builds it quickly, anyway the child leaves the model on the shop. So here I am!! With this lovely Airfix kit and full of wishing to do a paint work on it, a little challenge the first idea was to build it at the movie car GB, but now I have the opportunity to do a first attempt....

Hope you like it!

Something a little different, after seeing what you did with the SAS vehicle, I'm sure you will bring this little chap to life in no time Polux

Hi all!

After three days of hard and intensive work..... I have been dissembled this complex kit, with his entire PE and about 483 pieces. O_o

Well...the message is: don’t try to do it, if you are not an experimented master modeller, and of course, keep away from the children.

The second step.

After a few sand works, I paint the first coat of primer (German grey/Vallejo).

I don’t do any kind of pre-shade because will to it later, over the rust coat.

Thanks

nice going, could not agree more with Graham, looks better, Polux still cannot work out what your doing :D

Hi Moni.

By the moment is only the primer coat. I have to say, the German grey primer is my best option, when I need a "strong" surface where to work hard (chipping/streaking grimes/etc..). I don't usually use varnish.

I will wait tomorrow for a dry coat, then I will try a "new" kind of pre-shade that I see on a French modeller. His result was superb, will try to imitate it :P

 

[monica]

oh that dose sound interesting, look forward to seeing that one and good luck with it, and if it turns out well maybe can share with us :D

i do like the primmer, it is nice and strong but not as harsh as a black that i use from a rattle can i have some lefted :eek: :rolleyes:

 

[Polux]

Hi all!!

Here is this “different” pre-shade I am trying on this model. O_o

After the German grey primer, I add these four different colours on the body.

I use Vallejo white, light sea blue, gold yellow and pale green. I will wait tomorrow to add the rusty colour....

Thanks

Tomorrow will be the D day

I think this kind of pre-shade is only valid for a rusty colour, but not really sure.... :oops:
