Once it is done it will look realy cool it seems. The details you add is going to effect the finish for sure.

 

[Grendels]

Sandpaper did the trick!

Looking good.

I love the missing bits of sandpaper, looks well used and freakin excellent in my eyes.

Still taking a break from the sandpaper job,....to add some more details

After adding the balls & chain protection around the neck I discovered that you can't attach the turret to the main body by the tab & turn,....the body collides with the chains,....so I cut the tabs off

The turret just pushes down onto the body now






Gonna get back to the sandpaper texturing soon

Thanks for looking
John

So is this based on the 5 footer or the 32"? ;D Just kidding.

Very nice stuff here John!! She is one sexy beast!! (IDF metal is just HOT) !! Well done on the anti-skid!!

 

[Jaitea]

Thanks very much guys,.....it really is a great fun kit,....loadsa tiny parts,....but so far none gone missing!!

I had a hold up on some of the anti-slip areas,.....whats left on the main body are sections with circular spots on them.....a real head scratcher

.....I ended up buying a hole punch,....used for cutting holes in leather:







....thats the main body done,.....gonna do the turret next

Thanks for the support guys

The sandpaper looks great, way more consistent than my technique, yet probably more time consuming. Keep up the good work.

 

[Quaralane]

Definitely an interesting technique here

 

[JohnSimmons]

Nice work man very clever!
