                        Greetings fellow modelers! Well, it's really been a long time since I last posted this build, or any post at all! Working 60 to 70 hours a week can really ruin your sittin' around time, not to mention modeling time! Man, there's been some changes at FSM since I last visited - I hope my pics will open.

                        Anyway, I've finally got some down time and I got to finish my BB. It took a long time but it was a lot of fun and I'm happy with her. So enough talk and here's the pics (hopefully):

                        Thanks to everyone who commented on my WIP and hopefully I'll get some time to build and post again.

                        Thanks for lookin' and happy modeling!

                        Mark

                        Beautiful!  Love it, especially the weathering.  Did you hand paint the camo or shoot it?  Looks awesome, I've been brushing the MS12 on my BB-60, kind of a pain.

                        Kyle -Thank you for your compliment! I use masks and spray paint my builds. I build in layers - paint, mask, apply different colors, assemble, apply washes, then dry brush.

                        Happy modeling!
