Howdy chaps
Hope you all had a good weekend.
Couple of update pics on the Tractor
Bodywork is basically finished and weathering and washes have begun in ernest.
Ive started putting on the first layers of mud, (MiG pigments), and still have a few touch ups and things to do.
Im not going to be using the kit doors...
They are supposed to be canvas, but they look like badly dented metal, and in scale, they are about 3 inches thick, but thick for canvas sheets.
So...heres one I made earlier
Material of choice is tissue paper, the kind that flowers come in, this time from P n P..
This tissue paper is about the best, it has no embossing and takes to paint well, the only issue is it is very fragile. My top tip, use magic tape on the opposite side, cover the area you want to work ans hey presto, you can cut the paper without tearing or damaging it.
My doors are made this way, with tamiya tape around the window and zip covers. windows are from the polythene bag that the decals come in. Doors will be painted up khaki and weathered.
I also made a tilt cover for the ammo bay, just about visiblein the pics...
ok, more soon.
enjoy
Steve
