but watching Mig do it on the dvd is better, but still if you havent done it before this will help you.

Thanks Spud, yeah I've had the last two weeks off so I've been able to get a lot of modelling done. To be honest though theres not a lot to this kit. It really kinda of just fell together and I was a little disappointed that there wasnt more to glue together. Dont get me wrong its still a good kit just not a lot of parts. Oh and thanks for the link, I cant wait to try out that stuff.

if you are looking for a kit with more parts to it then look at dragon they seem to have lots and lots of spares too Tamiya are nice easy kits with very little parts, Except mabe for the Famo and Dragon Wagon

Thanks Schweinhund, yeah this kit really put itself together. Not a ton of parts and a really easy build. That and I've had the last two weeks off. ;D

Yeah I have a dragon M1A2 SEP in my stash and its loaded with parts, kind of intimidating. But its waiting on the TUSK II Legend upgrade set from ebay. Im also looking at picking up one of the Bronco Humvee's that Schweinhund reviewed or maybe the Kinetic M-ATV or what the heck maybe I'll order both lol.

 

[letsgobrowns82]

Thats looking real tidy with the paint on dont forget your decals before you start with washes

Chris.

Thanks lol, I've done that before. Being an armor noob I made that mistake on my first kit.

 

[spud]

i would wait a few monsth on teh M-ATV at least until the new batch is released with propper instructions, Unless of course you want a real challenge

Yeah I'm not sure, I really love complex builds but I dont know how I feel about poor instructions lol. The kit looks awesome so I will have to debate this one. ;D

Sorry guys, back to work so things have slowed down a little bit. Right now I have clear coat drying so I can decal it and then start applying some washes. New pics coming soon!

 

[letsgobrowns82]

Decals went on well and a small pin wash was applied. I'm going to have to let this dry for the night before I can really get into making this dirty

[letsgobrowns82]

Just another look here. I'm slowly wiping away the wash where I dont want it. I will go back and add more and take away again untill I'm happy then its on to a little color modulation.

Decals look great, no silvering.

 

[adampolo13]

Thanks, the decals supplied with the kit were very nice and using Micro Sol helped out a lot.
