Hello all...

I have been very busy doing end of year school stuff and beggining of holiday things...
But I have done a couple of things...the workshop needs to feel a bit more like a workshop and the Gaz car needs to feel dead...The workshop and gaz car need work...weathering, softening of colours and all the small details...I just thought I was going to post this cos I dont know when I am going to have time again....

The German sniper is almost done...I just need to attache the poor mans hear and put his rilfe in his hand, other wise he has the rags on his gun and has a fance and all... :-) A little more weathering on him to be done and he is read yo show....
all comments welcome...

Chris looking good but i have a few sugestions
1). weather the tools add some rust to them to have a older used look to them as any thing in russia would have
2.) the weatthering on the jeep looks pretty good as does the mud on the wheels but your model looks a little flat so you should mayabe drybrush the models highpoints with a lighter color of the base color. Otherwise it looks pretty damn good.
3.)Also try a wash on the jeep
4.) (And most importantly)Disregard anthing andrew (Oberest) tells u if he does J/P #:-) #:-) #:-)
Cant wait to see the finished product

Looking good Cris

but I have to agree with branden that you could give the tools you have laying there a more darker and used appearance. For instance the hamer would almost be black. Cover it with rust but the part where you hit the stuff with should be more the color that the hammer is now. The same with wrenches etc. Everything where metal touches metal you`ll see the damaging on the tools
Also the hightlighting of your vehicle would bring a certain life into it as Branden said with a lighter color.

but anyway looks good mate like to see that fnished

Hey all...

Yes...very nice ideas!...I like!...as soon as I get enough time Ill add some more "wear and tear" to the tools!...
And as soon as thats done Ill take a couple more photos and work a bit more on the snipers and the entire workshop..
