Thanks, sean

Done: gallery.

Cool finish Kuba all with a brush that's great. I like all the gear placed in there to bring it to life.

I finally managed to get started on this campaign doing a Legend IDF TOW conversion. It's gonna be tight to complete in little over 3 weeks, but a good start is half the battle:

Using the weapons carrier as a base kit,m but also have the TOW sprue in the spares box. The legend set is going together very nicely with no makor problems so far...I think they'll be when I get to all the really small bits...

No further update, just another photo:

Most of the main components together now. Just knobs and bolts to be added, then painting and then putting the sub-assemblies together and weathering.




I did make a mistake measuring the bars to hold the weapon platform which left the side support out of line with the side door pillars.

But once finished and decked with stowage etc it shouldnt be too noticeable

Base painting done and starting on the detailing



gloss coat and wash to be done followed by weathering. The undercarrige still needs a lot of work.
I'm going to use the Tamiya kit rack for the Tows...the Legend rack was just too much trouble!

Should be finished just in time for the end of this campaign: only 2 weeks to go!

Here is my completed entry for the campaign. It is an old Revell kit no photo-etched, just basic kit.




All comments are welcomed. I will post a picture in the campaign gallery also.

Completed the wash on the IDF TOW - a bit too heavy in places (another of my problem areas) but I'll tone down with MIG Pigments sand.


Ready now to start adding the equipment and stowage:


All comments welcome!

Just 2 days to go to end of the campaign...I'll just about get my completed pics into the gallery by tomorrow evening....

The 3 and 4 Hummies! are finished







1/72 Dragon - HMMWV M1025 w_ASK and M1025

Finally complete and 1 pic posted in the gallery:


I did leave off the chains across the doors and the eyes made with brass wire to hold them. My fingers are too big and eye-sight too poor. I just can't manage that really tiny detail level. I'll post more pics here at weekend.

Thanks for a great campaign!
Sean
