and then mocked up with construction on the exterior almost finished.      so moving right along. still have a couple of things that are not attached to the exterior but thinking they wont be attached until after paint. also haven't gotten the mg's mounted. going to paint them up and such before attaching them. so again, comments, critiques, and criticism are encouraged. joe |

well after quite a dry spell i have some things to report. first up was the painting. i started out with flat black for shadows. i then sprayed od. trying to keep the panels in place. i then went with a od/flat white mix to gain some panel fading. i then went over the lines again with od/flat black.   up next was the rare decals that can be seen in the photo.   not happy with the pics. they dont do the color justice. i have also coated it with future. next up is a coat of future to prep for some weathering and such. comments, critiques, and criticism are encouraged. joe |

well here i am yet again. way too long between updates. i spent a little time working on some subtle weathering. in the pic the armor looks pretty pristine other than some streaking. so with that in mind.      i used oils and several different shades. would tell you what they were but to be honest i didnt pay much attention to the name just the shade. not entirely displeased with it. looks better in person. only the second time i have tried to use oils for streaking and first time it came out looking somewhat like streaks. comments, critiques, and criticism are encouraged. joe |
