wow nice work on the cast texture Mr N looks really good. the fig looks pretty shart too

 

[Grendels]

The texture and the pilot look great!

I use to use braided hose like that for computer builds, back in the day when I customized computer cases. Do a search for braided loom, you will find they come in many different sizes. I just did a quick ebay search and found it from .125 inch (3mm) up to 5 inches (12.7cm) without trying. So I am sure you can find it in smaller sizes.

Also try a search on cable sleeving.

Hey as far as what i was saying about the welds its totally a matter of what you like and
That is all that matters

 

[Igard]

You will find the smaller sizes under cable sleeving. I need to get some of this myself

Very cool model. I just love all the ma.k stuff.

This is making me really wish I had time to do the ma.k models sitting on my shelf...

 

[Junkie]

Cave...if you think you'll never get time I can help you out and take some off your hands.

Ok so not quite finished up yet but getting close. All of the airbrushing is done and now its on to decals, weathering, and base work.

I first sprayed a base coat of Model Master Acrylic Olive Drab. Then for the camo scheme I used Model Master Acrylic Pale Green, Tamiya Khaki Drab, and Tamiya Matte Black. Since my Badger Anthem is out of commission at the moment I've done all the spraying with my Patriot and I gotta say really starting to like it.

I hand painted the white stripe using Citadel Skull White.




Then gave the Bazooka thing a solid coat of Khaki Drab


Took the masks off the windshield. Very happy with the way this turned out


thanks for checking out my build. more to come soon

This is a fantastic kit! Worth every penny. Highly recommended. Check it..

Well done! That looks great. Love the yellow.

 

[Grendels]

Nice finish!

 

[the Baron]

Nice finish, indeed! Great weathering, both in the surface textures and the colors! I like your detail on the glass, too, it enhances the look. Really well done!

 

[Glorfindel]

That looks so neat! What a great weathering job you did. Love it.
