Warren, is the paint petrified now? Maybe it is at a stage of hardness that you do not need to worry about scratching.

Bob

With all the coats of Future etc the Matilda has a think you could drop a big bomb on it and it would still survive...

@Warren - nice work. Lifetime guarantee on the paint, not the decals I

guess.



I found this $3 primer at Home Depot and so far I like it.

Greg, I have been using the same primer. I like it as well but the nozzle tends to get clogged up after a while, make sure to keep it clean

Thanks for the TIP Sal

Here's the model I'm restarting

Awesome choice John!

thanks, started it for the MP campaign work and life got in the way.

Yeah, I'm still trying to find a way around that myself

@ Sal & Greg: can you give me a review on that primer?

@ John: your cutting matt and build looks way too clean for me .

@ Jeremy: LIfe is an obsticle course to run and adapt to, but hey it can be fun while you do it.

Bob

I use that primer on my crab pot floats then spray with red the primer seems to stick good to the floats with out it the red by it self grows alge fast and the salt water eats it up. hope that helps. Ive used it once for a model figure. as for my matt I dont paint on it I use cardboard
@ jeremy after working 6 to 8hrs out on the water it gets harder and harder to goto the workbench and play. as my daughter calls it.

Yes indeed guys, but we keep trying don't we?

Aloha,

Small progress on the 250/3 Grief. Got the interior mostly beat up with some wear and tear. Next it is on to building the exterior.







Happy Modelling, -zon

Just enlisted for this one!! Its been almost 6 months since i have touched any models...so this is a good campaign to start with. I got an old M60 that i have decided to finish...I'll post some pictures soon and give a lay out of what its gonna be used for. Everyone is doing great one here...keep it up!

Johnathon

here is some progress on my M60....it had been set to the side for about almost a year. I had to decide whether to finish this one for this campaign or the "under a different flag" campaign. But i decided this one. Ok so the plan is to have this old baby buried in the sand...with Iraq or Iran markings( whichever i find how to do first). You can kinda see the given layout.....





Johnathon

Jonathon: Looks promising. Welcome aboard.

Happy Modelling, -zon

ok got my wheels done, i have covered them in glossy coat to make them easy to work with, now off to try some camouflage, wish me luck.....

Good luck..

camo done, will be doing filters and washes, then small part painting

@ Johnathon: I like what you have done with the M60.

@ Mark: what kit are you building and are the bed sides PE.

Bob

Zon - the HT interior is looking really good.
Johnathon - great idea to finish a model in HALF the time

Mark - spraying camo is always scary - I think yours has turned out fine!

@ Zon and Bob- thanks guys...still lots to do.

@Greg-haha hey i think i can get it done. time will tell.lol

@Mark- Great job! really like the camo!

Johnathon

Close up view of the dividing line... I need to work on the curves a bit as its not all that sharp a line..

Paint went on very good though..

Mark, great job on that camo, looking forward to seeing that kit completed
