Hey Guys, This is another model I finished up years ago. I decided to dig it out and post it up. I had fun with this one as well. Anyways, Thanks for your time and your comments are appreciated.

Chad

I really like the winter wash! What did you use for the tarps? The texture and color are great!

Tarps are white glue soaked tissue chief, right?

Thanks for the kind words everyone. The tarps were made using milliput ( I think thats how you spell the product?)You just roll it to a thin like sheet, then fold it how ever you like. I've used the tissue and glue method also and that works as well. I'm going to start a dragon 251/17 soon, I'm sure I will be making a tarp for that one also. I have not done any serious modeling in so long that I think I might have to re-learn some of this. I'm just glad I did not throw out all of my modeling supplies.

Thanks Bob, The only thing I would address differently would be the fighting compartment. I spent to much time with photo etch parts and scratch building, only then to paint it to dark and cover most of the details up with washes and distressing. I would have gone with a lighter color to create more contrast. Hind sight is 20/20

I saw that it seemed a bit dark, but just chalked it up to the picture quality.

It still gets the point across. Very nice.
