Productive Weekend Part One-Lots of Pics
Posted by Duke Maddog on Wednesday, June 8, 2005 11:29 PM
Yes folks, part one. I am posting these four parts here since I have such a hodgepodge of subjects represented in these four posts. I had gotten so much done that I'll have to post in several posts to keep those on dialup from throwing their computers in disgust at the slow download time. Evil [}:)]Clown [:o)]

I was given a gift from God in the form of an obligation-free weekend! Loads of time to 'play'! Propeller [8-] So I sat down and looked at all the stuff I had sitting on the workbench and decided to just 'git 'er done'!

I started with my 1/72 scale Airfix French Puma that simply needed decals. I had finally found a set and got them put on:



Here it is finished with the dullcoat over it. The flash still makes it look a little shiny though.



Next, I took and painted a basecoat on my Airfix 1/72 scale Australian Centurion.



I may be putting a camo pattern on it once I get some more details finished. Or I may just leave it a solid green and wash and drybrush it instead. I definitely need to find the missing exhaust part though before I can declare this one done.

Finally, I repaired my old 1/72 scale Italeri M6 Gun truck.



I also dirtied it up a bit with some more wash and drybrushing to make it look better.

In between all this, I started a couple of kits as well. But I'll save those for the next post, along with the pics of my completed Titanic!

Your lucky to have the time! Nice work on the Puma, I've been asked to build one for someone, how did it build up?

regards,

Darren.

Thanks Darren! I'm glad I have the time. I have a new assignment starting on Monday with a new kitchen to install. I won't have any time this coming week.

Actually, It has been so long since I built this, I can barely remember! I do remember that the clear windscreen had a difficult fit, but aside from that, I think it was pretty straightforward. Good luck on your kit, I hope you'll be able to post pics when you start.
