Your talent for painting miniatures shows on all of that canvas. That looks like a showroom model and I like the look of how clean it is.

So far so good. I'm looking forward to seeing what you can do next with it.  :)

 

This is a huge compliment coming from someone of your talent, i am humbled :) Im scared to weather it as it will drity it up...lol 

Thanks guys, i have a bit of free time now so ill make some actual progress on it tomorrow :D

What color paint did you use as the base coat on the seats 

Ok guys i have not forgottena bout this, i ahve been working on the GMC 6x6 for the group build but tomorrow i am gonna pwrk on the steyr some more :D

No worries man, i've been meaning to get one but i like hand painting...lol

Oh, sorry man! I didn't know you didn't have an airbrush!

Thanks doog, sadly i do not yet own a airbrush nor the skill to use one, (i do have someone local willing to teach me once i do get one) I will keep it in mind :)

Bish, ty :) I do what i can with my limited supplies and tools , painting miniatures helps with cloths/leather :)

I like the look of that Tiger. I do like the effects you have on the fabric areas. Nice finish on the paint job as well.

I am sure i will , here are the pics i mentioned earlier. I haven't gotten much done tonight as i am taking a short break so i don't burn out, plus it's really small stuff, figures and weathering now.

Anyway, just an idea for something you might want to experiment with later. This style of painting is one of the key elements of my style of finishing---it begins with the very basecoat itself.

lol, Thanks, TigerEP1, I appreciate that. I hope you can get a few pointers to help you with your finish here! :)

Man Karl your work is amazing, I feel like I'm wasting ml everyone's time after see your stuff...lol you have a gift man

I went back and repainted the tool handles the look better now. I'll have pics up tonight since I'm at work

It's been a while so any tips on how to weather panzer grey would be very helpful. (for reference this is the 1943 Russia scheme)

Hope you have success!

Thanks RBaer :) I like to make sure as much is right as possible (which is why im off that i put the jerry can cap on in the wrong spot.) Also when i look at these pics they show me spots i have missed or need to touch up :D

Really nice work here. I like the attention to detail, like the black CV boots on the front half-shafts.

Thanks Roy. I've made the change :)

One thing you can correct is the placement of the jerry can spout.  It was not centered but to the right side.  Hope this helps

Little more progress, not much more to add before i can start weathering:

Ok solved the windshield issue with the resin canvas wrapped one. Also started base painting the tools and such and weathering the leather on the seats and top and began to weather the exhaust and such.

thanks Karl! means a lot coming from ya :D

On a side not i was putting the switches on the windshield today wehn one just fired off like a bullet ... she is gone forever :( now im not sure how to make a replacement one...

Oh yeah, that's MUCH better!

Your model looks great now! The seat color is really well-chosen. It looks like supple leather!

Got a bit more done, starting to do all the smaller details:

Much more to come 

Hope these are better for everyone :)

yeah i use it to protect the desk...lol I'll toss down some white and take some new pics :D

Dude! Get rid of that green paper under your build! It totally skews the colors of your photos. Honestly, I can barely see enough color reference to make any kind of opinion on your color scheme.

I went for wood...lol

Just some slightly updated pics now that the body and frame are glued and i am working on getting the seats finished 

I will have more tomorrow, when i get started on the tools and such and all the smaller detail stuff

Nice work Tiger. The backs of the chairs look like wooden slats to me. I would go for wood.

I have a question if anyone can answer. The backs of the chairs, were they grey or wood colored? I went with grey but i can change it if needed.

Thanks jersey66, I am looking forward to it.

made a little more progress, finished the second front seat, and laid a base coat down. 

The lighting makes the brown way more red than it is, i'll need to fix that...lol

once again everything is mocked up.
