Very cool base Steve, love all the little details you've tucked in here and there like the 'shrooms! Beer Your tank is going to look right at home in this little setting for sure.

heya Steve : )

ya know, I was just thinkin' 'bout putting a small base on my nearly finished gatling gun, something I have never done, and up pops your small base tutorial ! Talk about yer good timing.

I really love what you have done, and all a budget that even I can afford.

On the mushroom thing, Dude, I honestly never even considered that it looked like earwax.... are you sure you didn't accidentally ingest some while cooking them up ? Hmmmmmm?....(maybe you are the only one seeing red ! lol...) all kidding aside, they look really cool.. .I hope I don't accidentally steal that detail for my base. : )

I can't wait to see that fat E2 sittin on the road just a waitin... it will be awesome.

Thanks for another great installment buddy.

yer pal

love seeing my name in print, tread : )

Gabby,

Please don't put a small base on your gatling gun.

Put the gatling gun on the small base, it'll look much better.

....yuk, yuk, yuk.....

Now.... thank you Bill, it's nearly done.

Looking forward to the completion of your G/G too.

Totally Wicked......I love it

It is Environmental Friendly, Uses Recycled materials,
is 100% PE free, is totally PC in this cost cutting time, and lastly,....
harkens back to when men were men and modelers were modelers...

Outstanding!

Rounds Complete!!

Steve, It's been a while since I've posted. I've been more of a looker lately (with some exceptions).

Holy hand grenade Batman!

You still impress me so much, that ever time I view your thread, it seems like the first time.

You are the Master.

Been a while since I smiley purged.... .........................much better! Seriously, Thanks man!!!

Steve, nice work on the base. Looks like the perfect setting-not too busy to distract from the impressive work on the vehicle.

I can't wait to see what you do with this baby when it's finished. I know it's going to be a real treat! There won't be enough Smileys to capture it!

Actually I posted it at 3:02 AM......

The small header for my reply shows (at least HERE it does)

disastermaster replied on 05-22-2011 3:02 AM

I haven't figured it out yet, my watch and computer showed 3:02 when I posted; I keep them synchronized with the forum and TV network.
What the heck........

2:02 or 3:02; whatever the case I was up and typing.

When I post this it should say 4:21 pm.

A RECIPE FOR DISASTER 06/05/2011 Almost finished.......

Posted by disastermaster on Saturday, June 4, 2011 11:28 PM

http://www.emofaces.com/en/emoticons/s/stand-up-emoticon-comedy.gif

Alright, okay, okay guys.....
Stand back 'n get comfy.
Had some issues to

http://www.therealityshow.net/talk/images/smilies/smiley_ironing.gif

out.

I just now got this all together.

http://ccakamai.about.com/images/emoticons/smiley-undecided.gif

Being that the world was supposed to end

two weeks ago I kind'a got a bit behind.

http://www.armymilitarymanuals.com/new-20-june_siin.gif

This way Folks.

I'ma writing from my field office.....

It's time for another

chapter

of "W T

http://th23.photobucket.com/albums/b390/pep_133/smileys/th_rofl.gif

"

It's fun to build a nice model

http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/7/7_20_3v.gif

...and then Disasterise it into submission.

........just a couple more whacks.

Yea..........

Here's my spin on it.
I actually do that a lot too.

I got a spinnin' stool I sit on.

It helps me unwind........

http://th261.photobucket.com/albums/ii45/Nls1st/Smileys/th_WooHoo.gif

And so........here's how it's a going.

I just keep it simple....

....it ain't rocket science.

Most of the parts are yet
to be attached .....

White gouche paint was dabbed in a
random pattern with a small sponge
impaled on a toothpick. I did all the
same things to the hull surfaces in
the track areas too.

No future .........

http://smileys.on-my-web.com/repository/MSN_Emoticons/MSN-Emoticon-209.gif

http://www.smileycodes.info/emo/heyhey/109.gif

No pigs......

http://www.smileycodes.info/emo/heyhey/78.gif

No hair spray ....

http://cliparts101.com/files/565/49B15A4F8FFA6871AC4D20B7740FF110/Aerosol_Hairspray_01.png

http://www.millan.net/minimations/smileys/margaritasmile2.gif

..... and not a speck of salt
anywhere other than in my margarita.

Ain't I a tease?

http://www.123gifs.com/gifs/texte/checkout/123gifs016.gif

And now you get to see what I meant
about the post shading just being practice.

........... it'not really much in evidence.

After plenty of drying time, a very thinned out application of titanium white oil paint was added to tie it together.

(I use turpenoid, NOT THE GREEN CAN)

Now, 24 hrs later...... time for play.

Below, I'm streaking some white oil

paint mixed with a touch of black oil

paint added for a lightly greyish color
using a turp dampened brush. Same thing you've seen on the forum many times.

Here's the other side with a crudely
painted star..... first of three just to see
if I could do it; they don't haf 'ta
be perfect for my intended purposes.

Now to brush it back a some with a bit
of drybrushing using Pollyscale acrylic
olive drab.

I "WAS" gonna rust up the rebar weld areas but figured it wouldn't show that much with all the whitewash.

After some more drying time, a bit more white oil wash was applied to the lower area to give the appearance of the snow camo collecting/running off.

How 'ya like that cheapo M2
I got wrapped on top ??

I cheaped it out with the crappy old Italeri M2 Browning. I used brass tube

to replace the barrel, some thread, kleenex, white glue and various oil and acrylic washes to get what you see.

Havin' fun yet????

Some more work with the OD and some
streaking runoff.

Baby's coming along......

Not much in the way of chipping....
   that baked factory enamel finish was
      pretty dern tough on it's own.

Another careful oil wash.......
        and some fuel spillage.
   I just love playing with this......
            it's so easy.

Now, imagine it on the base.......

http://newlifegames.net/nlg/Smileys/default/CoolChicken.gif

A bit more tweaking, and then.........

http://www.armymilitarymanuals.com/32651861_9c3s.gif

   It's about time to whip out my torch
   and weld all that chickenwrap in place.

Should'a seen the look on
those pecker faces when they saw

where all their chicken wire was headed.....

Well, I'll soon be gettin' on with the final make on this.

    I'm nearly done.....
       Good............
         'cause I'ma jus'dying
               here to move on to
                  something else.

Looking VERY nice Steve.... the wash effect really helps the details pop. I'll be looking forward to the next installment. It's been fun watching this one from inception to, almost, finish. Loads of great tips and some good fun along the way.
