Hi Bob, thanks for your comments,

The camera I use is a Canon D-40 and in this caese I´d used a canon 28-135mm lens. I also use a light box I´d made.

Thanks for the mini-tutorial Daniel! I'll give that a try when I get a chance to get my hands on those MIG pigments and resin.

Wayne, the rust/chipping is a nice touch. What type of masking did you use for the camo?

hi bob thanks just blue tac for the masking.made long thin worms to make the out line of the camo.its good stuff to use as you can keep it on the model for weeks and it just comes right off when you need it to.have to be careful around PE and small parts as it can pull them off

Greetings one and all,

I finally got around to putting the finishing touches to my contribution to this great campaign. A Staghound Armoured Car as used by the 2nd New Zealand Divisional Cavalry Regiment, mid to late 1943.

@ Tom : Very nice Styer. I think the 1500 is one of the most cool looking softskin of the war.

My Leopold is coming to completion. I'll be away a couple of days but I think I'll have the time to finish it in schedule.
