Sounds like the one I had a fortnight ago……it does go….eventually. Hell of a way to lose weight though…..Thanks very much Tim,most kind.
The bug has been rather grosse,in fact quite worrying at times, however,after hearing of your,and other's,woes recently, I'll mention it no more!
ALL.... An update,of sorts,up and coming soon.
Thanks Graeme,Looking good Andy, one small criticism though, how does the driver see where he's going?
Thanks very much JohnVery nice looking Andy, thank weathering look ok . The camo along with the method is great , any chance of a more details please .
The Committee I've heard are looking fwd to appraising the finished article !
Thanks Andy, where did you find the netting please?Thanks very much John
As for the camo, it's only the bits I showed earlier,and no hill of beans to do....
For main Gun Barrels,I just cut some irregular strips of the netting,brush on a liberal amount of white glue,and press them into it,(just to fill it out a bit),then drape over larger pieces which hang down past the barrel... these should be longer,and fuller than you need,as you'll be cutting them back to where you want them later. .
The camo roll at the back just involves a wooden skewer,saves wasting rolling loads of netting to get the bulk of it,then,white glue and wrap netting around it half a dozen times or so
Once it's set, more white glue,and then sprinkle LOADS of the herbs all over... PLENTY more than you need.When dry,invert model,shake off excess and voilà!!
Next!!...

Cut off, roughly,the excessive length with scissors/nippers,doesn't matter that it's a straight line,white glue remains flexible for days,so just tease the threads of the netting out, with tweezers, cocktail stick,and you can get a more uneven "drape".
If it all looks too similar,colourwise, just dab on various watered down Greens to suit.
Blimey,that makes it sound long winded eh?!!!...
I THINK it was from FOG Models John.Thanks Andy, where did you find the netting please?
