dog and Toshi

Thanks both for your comments.

Just amazing!  You've out did yourself on this build!  It looks like the real thing.  This is one of the most phenomenal builds I've seen in a long time.

Thanks Tojo. This hairspray method works every time. For the wood I used acrylic light tan and when dry, used dark brown and grey oils to get a weathered look. Thanks for stopping by.

Thanks Joe. As usual with Tamiya kits are just a pleasure to build. Thanks for taking a peek.

Hi Patrick

Great to hear from you again. Thanks for dropping by.

Thank you sir!

Very interesting build,I like your chipping as well as the weathered up wood on the dolly.

That is really impressive PJ. Your hairspray weathering turned out extraordinary, as well as the overall build. You should be quite proud of this work.

Hi, Ernie -

That's an excellent build and finish, totally believable on display. Looks like you should be able to start the engine. 

Thanks for the post and photos.

Patrick

Real nice, PJ.

You just used run of the mill hairspray and shoot it straight out of bottle through your airbrush? I've never tried the technique myself but would like to.

 

Cheap hairspray from the Dollar Store decanted thru a straw and sprayed thru my AB. Yes you can shoot right from the can but the ab offers more control. I've been told by several modelers that this is similar to the AK Interactive chipping product that costs like ten times as much. I wanted to try the AK product but my method seems to work ok.
