That's nice, I like the look of the rubble on the base. How have you got the dusty look on the rubble.

And am I correct in thinking that figure is from one of the old Tamiya sets.

I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so

Thanks bish.

The dust look is just airbrushing a dust color, like buff, real light over the rubble. Yes the figure is one of the old tamiya sets. I like to keep a few on hand just to play with and practice my painting.

Looks good to me too, is it just the pictures that make the gun look that reddish brown? Like everyone else though, it looks good and I really like the rubble!

You know now that I have looked at it I guess the gun is a bit reddish brown. Hmmmmmm. Not a problem to fix. You all will have to forgive me at times with colors as I am color blind on certain colors. The wife has to help me get them right. That is what I have to deal with.

I had fun making the rubble. It was my first attempt at doing so.

Thanks Rob. I can get the gun&motar kits all day long at the local Hobby Lobby as that is about the only ones they carry. I have asked why they do not mix up their military kits and get some different Tamiya kits and was told that there was not that big of a deal with models being sold mainly the military ones. I said that if you changed them out every so often you might find that more would sell. You have had these same models over and over for like years now. I know that Tamiya has a lot more models than what you carry and so does Revell. Just got a dumb look out of that one.
