                        Forgot to comment, that sucks about Jules bike... too bad he doesn't live closer, I've got a nice one he could have... I don't ride it anymore anyway.. (although I should, drivers are too scary here though)

                        Rainbows aren't an issue for me, let's face it that's how they will probably paint up the Abrams when they get to Australia.


                        As for my 129, going to have to custom mix the paint I think.
                        Can't really find the RLM 79 in th shades I need.

                        Will that be before or after the Australian army install the beer cooler and portable barbie?

                        Progress Update

                        Finally started applying top coats to the MS406., but not before pre-shading the underside, the top colours I'll post shade. I now have a 406 with RLM65 undersides, and a gloss white fin, and no, this wasn't another cock up on my part thinking it was primer, the fin is meant to be white.

                        There are a lot of little areas on this aircraft that I am far from happy with, as you'll see when I post some pictures tomorrow.

                        The beer chiller is a given, and they won't need the barbie cause as soon as they try and run those things in Central Oz they'll overheat and cook themselvesBlack Eye [B)]

                        In hindsight, the Aussie Gov buying those tanks was a BAD idea IMHO.
                        It doesn't exactly rain diesel in this country, but I guess they didn't think of that........................which really doesn't surprise either.

                        Zero emissions AFVs, they won't harm the environment......

                        .....apart from any damage wrought with depleted uranium rounds that is!

                        Sean I'd always heard that the Abrams had a heat signature that rivalled the sun. In your neck of the woods it should surpass even that heat source. Better make sure those Kiwis don't try and mount an invasion!

                        Sorry to hear about the bike.

                        Pics, well 2....



                        ....after some pre-shading and a coat of RLM 65. It still needs a lot of work, which I'll hopefully get around to this afternoon...



                        ...and that lovely gloss white fin.

                        Hopefully next week might see some of the top camo going on.

                        Yeah it came out great Tom I can see how the Testors program would be a great aid for modeling those Fringe builds and Kremp inspired builds.....I may have to invest in it one of these days for a Kremp build cause i imagine it would have been a fun model to buildThumbs Up [tup]

                        I like Grear Mountain of Doom... where the evil god Bazuuzuu can only be appeased by molten mounds of styrene at his feet...

                        Well I had sort of forgotten about it till the point of buttoning on the final pieces and then I remembered I had one of those Testor decal sets somewhere so I had to go and try it... I think it makes it a lot more interesting than it was... a bit of color never hurts! Wink [;)]

                        thanks Jules - I tried a lot of new stuff on that one... weathering with pastels (love it), oil washes (like it but still getting used to it), kit modding (had to make some different mods to make it accurate for a Martlet) etc.. etc.. Probably one of my more enjoyable builds. I am 99% done with the Zero for the Midway build but lost the antenna so might have to post it sans antenna.. I will try to make one but it had a bit of a crazy curve to it and I can't remember exactly how it went.. Oh well there is an optional striaght antenna in there and I might just try to fake it, bend it like the other one even though it is a bit too short.. That one is looking good too.. spent a lot of time researching colors for it etc...

                        Well Tom i just checked my stash cause my 2 year old got into my tamiya zero and lost a few parts, thats why i swithched to the Has kit, anyway i do have the curved antenna but unfortunatly it's snapped in half but it still is on the sprue and it's repairable so if you want it let me know and i can send it straight away..............

                        I'll try the straight antenna first Jules, I imagine the shiping alone on that little antenna would buy you a new kit... I'll let ya know though and thanks for the offer!!!
