Now, your photos have to be in an album you have Shared (otherwise the privacy setting block it.)

Hope that helps.

Thanks for the help CapnMac!

Really nice work there on the 88 and the bike. I hope you'll be posting more of your work now! 

Thanks Mac for getting him straight. I wanted to but I'm not very good at explaining things. Somehow I have my way of doing things that doesn't ever seen to work for anyone else.

You done a nice job on the camo on those. Look forward to seeing some more.

Thanks y'all. I'm gonna be uploading some WIP pics of the Tempest I'm working on now soon to post in the aircraft section. Like I said, I don't really venture into armor often. I plan to, but I never seem to end up choosing the armor over the aircraft. 

I found the model tonight, and was pleasantly surprised to see that it made the move from Ohio to Alabama in tact (other than a few scratches). Decided to share a few more pictures of the actual finished product. I may have overdone the weathering, but, as I previously stated, this was my first attempt at doing so. I used putty for texture, and I mixed a couple of browns to make a color that looked like mud to me. I was aiming for that nasty, soupy mud of legend that sucked in and promptly stuck any equipment unlucky enough to wander nearby. 

Thanks for posting. It sure looks like you had fun building the classic Tamiya 8.8cm Flak. One thing you might want to do is study photos of "in action" guns to serve as guidance on what/how/where/how much weathering to apply. Even patterns of mud splatter if the gun was being towed. I think the heavy application on the lower front of the gun shield would be hard to imagine. Keep up the good work!

Oh and if you don't mind me adding to your comment Roy? Unless the mud is supposed to be recent you can drybrush it with a little tan to give the impression of it drying out. Of course you'll want to do a little more of this near the top and less near the bottom.

That is some really fantastic builds sir!  What a great job!

Toshi

Thanks for the input, y'all. I know I went a little heavy on the mud in a few places. My thought was the vehicle towing it spinning the tires and slingin mud (etc.). My first attempt at weathering just got away from me a little. Oh, and the idea with the lighter tan for dry mud...crazy good idea. I do hope to do more armor in the near future. Took a little time off, and, now that I'm back, I keep coming across planes that I've always wanted to do. I really enjoyed this build though. So, my first piece of armor definitely won't be my last.

Thanks, Toshi! I've always been good at assembling models, but have struggled with paint looking decent. I was pretty pleased with the brushwork on this one. 

I hope you will join us with some more armour. I like how you're coming so far and it's a fun subject to build. Plus it's been so dead around here recently.

I really hope to soon. I've been eyeballing a P-61 here lately, and I'm working on a 1/48 Hawker Tempest Mk. V with a Ju-88 on deck. However, I'm always on the lookout for a good deal on a panzer or tiger tank. So, if I happen across one of those it'll probably be next in line behind the Junkers. Unless I get bored and decide to get multiple WIPs goin at once.

Youcan say that again. The silence in armour has been defeaning, we seem to be missing a lot of the dedicated armour builders.

Looks real good,looking forward to more.

Maybe they got all "tankered" out?  or lost "track" of where they were?",  Maybe felt they were all "truck-er-ed out from over wheathering the latest build.

-----winggy things rule! (or at least get above it all )
