Duck Hunter GB

Thanks. Will start weathering  today. had tornado warnings tonight so my frau joined me in the bunker. Didnt stop my building. Also got M -1117 base coated for MERDC desert camo. Still debating stuka build as i have 5 but overcommitted and now hosting 2 GBs. Sci fi could be huge and 1/72 looking good. Longest day lcvp still vexing me. May have try a different green. Oh well. Regionals in july my first.

DUCKHUNTER 4 is done and 5 is 35% done. turret is done most of hull, damned indy tracks are next.

this base is not as fancy as i would like so as to keep it in armor soft skin and not vignette. paints are TAMIYA and MMA. all the weathering is oils again, raw umber and medium gray. base is model clay and liquidtex. first time i airbrushed the dirt. grass is obviously turf and base was oversprayed with dust to tone everything down.

You are a building machine Wayne! A styrene AFV factory!!! And another very nice build on your part!

Fantastic build Wayne, I love it.

Wayne!  You are a model making machine!  Awesome builds my friend!  Great work!

Which pic would like on the front page?

wayne, that is a really stunning build, awesome.

thanks to all for the kind words. i think i like the left side view the best. i'm glad i painted all the wheels on the truck green or brown. personally i think even a dirty round yellow would stand out too much in a tree line.

btw just ordered the new THE WEATHERING MAGAZINE on snow and ice and the new SQUADRON has a tutorial on snow base building. it's time to do a snow scene and i have a camoed 50mm PAK mit crew to practice on.

as for being a "styrene machine" (i like that), region 10 regionals is next month and, though i will take a number of wins with me from my local contest, i also want  to take some new stuff. i posted the list to finish over in 1944 GB.

I was extremely busy lately but I'm back now.

Peter: Your 251 looks truly awesome with that faded-looking camo! The Drilling is my favorite version of this vehicle together with the Pakwagen!

Wayne: Now that looks damn perfect! Great job on both the camo and weathering!
