                        Here's what the beast looks like at this stage. The 'Ambush' pattern is completed, but many items and details need to be overpainted, while the wash/drybrushing/weathering operations are still a few days into the future...



                        Hope you like it..!Smile [:)]

                        it looks great... as usual.... i'm going 2 have 2 find some new superlatives
                        because i'm starting 2 sound repetitive here...
                        ur just too good at this, mon ami ! Big Smile [:D]Bow [bow]

                        BTW, i've been meaning to ask about the afv-on-a-stick thing...
                        do u use silly putty or white glue 2 hold it on the end of the stick while u paint ?

                        Ahaaa! Superglue, Frosty. Once I'm finished with the painting, weathering,.. whatever, I snap the tube off. The turret had one too, but for the pic, I removed it...

                        Should mention I use plastic tubing for that. Less contact area between the 'rod' and the tank.. And little superglue...

                        Duke, I could not model without toothpicks... They are my paint applicators (in this case), paint stirrers (not the most efficient but it works), superglue applicators, putty spreders, Milliput spreaders and sculpting tools (when sanded down to a nice rounded end), wet decals movers, PVA glue applicators, rivet head makers (applying tiny blobs of dimensional fabric paint), small parts holders (when used with saliva!), paint scrapers (when I make mistakes!) and they also keep my models from moving around in their expanded polystyrene boxes...

                        Dj, where do you get the time to work on some many kits at the same time?

                        And always get good results anyway?

                        Keep em coming.

                        "has it ever broken off on you?"

                        Oh yeah, Chris, it has, a couple of times in the past. Thanksfully without any major damages to the models! But I'm always trying to limit risks, so I use the 'handle' just for what it's for.
