Hi mike better late than never,thats a nice build should look good with her paint on. Hows la belle France I lived in Brittany for 2 years, loved it.

Hi Guys,

Thanks for the comments lads,

John, been here for 15 years now, 3 houses later and 1 divorce and still loving it. Got lots of modelling left in me but whether any more house renovations.....well.........

hoping to get some pre shading done tonight and then the base colour with some light shading. The weathering will really stretch me as its a new challenge for me. We'll see how things go.

Cheers Mike

Nearly missed Bob's finished Panther. Great endresult mate, well done, nice 'n muddy ey . Would love to see her in daylight thought, she looks a bit yellowie on some of the photos. I'd say, when it's a cloudy day: go outside and take some more of your great Kitty mate!

Mike: that's a fine lookin' Shermy, ready for paint ey ^^

Cheers

Thank you very much Wouter, means a lot

I have found that I have been using the wrong light balance in the camera, new to me But I have found how to alter and the photos i have sent to Robin look a normal colour.

Would you like me to post these new one later?

Thanks again

regards Bob

Hi Wouter

Having been playing with the camera machine, hope these are not so yellow

NO David Bailey

much better Bob, thanks, now it shows the real colors and weathering in full force, glad you redid them . I especially like the mud effect you did on the running gear, sweet!

Cheers

Many thanks Wouter

Had a go with a airbrush and a mud loaded brush, went through a lot of a4 paper first, good fun

Hi Guys,

Well I've got some paint on the ole girl.

Firstly I sprayed on a darker coat of OD to be able to give depth with lighter coats when they are applied. Here are a few pics.

Its the first time I have used my air brush on a finished model, so on a pretty steep learning curve.

Advice humbly accepted on techniques etc..

Cheers Mike
