Re: Latest Completed Build

Hi icekj
Veeery nice model...but this needs to go under the "whatcha built" section,so I'm moving it!

Cheers

 

[icekj]

Hay Jack, thanks! I was kind of in the process of modifing some stuff when you moved it

we can either move it back, or just delete it and I will remake it.

God Bless,

Ken

Quick update:

Got the overall colors on and pulled off the masking on the gun muzzle area, rear engine mounts and tan area of the nose.




Next up is a coat or two of future and lots of little decals.

God Bless,

Ken

Shark and Joolz, thanks for your compliments!

Joolz, your wish is my command.

Washed with ProModeller clay based wash product:



This build is starting to take on some personality.

Still lots to do but the end is in sight.

God Bless,

Ken

 

[Backbreaker]

;D Now that's what I'm talking about! ;D
I currently use MIG washes, but I've heard nothing but praise for the promodeller washes, how do you rate them Ken?
Perhaps we should start a poll on what are the best washes to use?

Joolz,

If you want a better understanding of my use and technique of the promodeller product I must direct you to the fully detailed build thread on Agape.

I have had nothing but enjoyable aplication with the ProModeller product. It is about as idiot proof as you can get. I do have a tendency to be an idiot sometimes.

Please let me know what you think.

God Bless,

Ken

God Bless,
