Disappoint?  Hardly.  Give yourself a nice high 5 for that one.

Re: Zvezda M-3 Scout Car ~FINISHED Pg.7~

Mg, all of the extra work in the little details has really paid off.  This looks FANTASTIC! 

You could have just made a weekender out of it, but instead you really made a crude kit far better.  Mad props, yo.

wing_nut- Thanks for the kind comments!

Dre- Thanks, glad you like the finished product! Also like to say thanks for those tips much earlier in the build process, with out them this build would have been a much nastier little bugger.Wink [;)]

Re: Zvezda M-3 Scout Car ~FINISHED Pg. 7~

KAYSEE88- Thanks for the comments! For the chairs I'm assuming you mean the cushions. In that case, I simply take the kit supplied part and remove any seams. Then I put a layer of tissue over the pieces. All you do is pour some Elmer's glue in a bowl then add some water. Then you mix untill the glue is dissolved. After that all you have to do is dip the tissue paper in the mix and wrap it around the object you want to cover. However you must split the standard tissue in two by pulling it apart(a tissue right out of the box is too thick.) Once that's done and the tissue is dryed, you paint in the color you wish. After the paint dries, I simply do a grime wash and burnt umber wash to make the seats look used.

As for the wood, I put a base coat of Testor's enamel Wood. After that dries I put a very, very thin later(use an amount that doesn't even cover the base coat in areas) of Tamiya Acrylic Clear Orange. Once that dries I make a wash of burnt umber and apply it. Then after letting it sit for about 5 minutes or less, I take a cotton swab and move the wash inorder to streak the wood in a wood grain direction(this moves the pigments which makes the dark grain areas.) Hope this helps, if not just ask.Smile [:)]

Huxy- Thanks for the comments! But don't underestimate your own talent. Your turning out some great builds yourself.Wink [;)]

terry35- Thanks a million for the kind comments!
