Hey guys,

  Just to let you know I am still working on my build I have a few progress pics. I still have a ways to go on it. I was going to start the FLAK 38 that goes in the back and found out that the barrel of the gun has been broken of the gun sometime before I bought it. Its also missing so I will have to find something to replace it with.

Thank you

Zip

Hey guys,

I finished my Opel Maultier but not the FLAK38 that goes in the back. I don't know how but the barrel is broken off and missing. I also found a couple more pieces broken. I know when I bought it the box had a tear in it but it was shink wrapped so I don't know how I lost pieces. Any way here is my build.

Maybe I will get an urge to scratch build the pieces I need for the FLAK 38 and put it in the back.
I would like to thank PanzerWulff for such a great GB. You guys are a great bunch and I had a blast.

Thank

Zip

Thanks for the compliment on the GB Zip and the opel looks awesome nice weathering job you might want to get an after market barrel for the flak 38 I do know they're available

on my front I just got my comp back but it still needs a lil tweaking before I can post so maybe another week or so TTFN

Panzerwulff, would it be ok to change my build subject? I just picked up this SD Kfz 234/1 and started it over the weekend.

1st day.

2nd day. I glued the view ports open a bit.

Thanks for looking.     Ron.

I had quite a bit of time this weekend to work on my project because of the rain. I got the camo painted on and the paint chips are done as well as a little bit of rust. For this one I thought I'd try a little mud. Never done it before so it should be interesting. Here's some pics right after the camouflage was painted.

When I get it mudded I'll post pics.

Comet, looks great!! I don't think I've ever seen one of those before, looks pretty nasty with all the MG's.

Ron.

Here's mine, mud and all.

Doing the mud was a lot of fun but what a mess!!!

Ron.

Here's a couple of close ups of the mud. I read somwhere that it's pretty easy to overdo so I tried to hold back a bit.

Ron.

Great looking mud...........

How exactly did you do that?

results may vary wrote:

would it be too late to join this build?

Nope not too late just let me know what youre going to build I won't be able to add you to list until friday as I am going to visit family over the Thanksgiving holiday TTFN

 Hello everyone in GB and thanks PanzerWulff for the answer - was something about my PC skill or other human error. I wish to join you with 3 ( hope ) 72nd models - Mack NO2, Scammell SV/2S - both Wespe resin kits and a conversion on the Academy Opel Blitz - open worksop.

Both models are ready since some time but in a simple way, for some commercial pics. My intention now is to reworke them in a modelling way. 

Nice work Trucker I myself have been doing alot of 1/72 armor myself lately mostly DML kits to the gang

Thanks for appreciations. I'm doing mostly 72nd and mostly trucks or halftracks, even there are some tanks that I like. One little mistake - Mack, Scammell - Wespe, Opel Blitz - Academy. But don't matter, the models are important.

Well, that mud is really great. Never was able to do such thing so that I use only to "dust" the models. 

Good news, Good news!!!!  I have finally gotten some major progress on my Puma.  No pic, sorry.  Just a few steps left before priming and painting.  One question, can you use acrylics for a wash or are oils a better way to go.  If no one has tried maybe I will and let everyone know how it turns out.

Ron

the best thing I have ever used for washes is a blast from the past WATERCOLORS nothing expensive mind you the cheaper the better I use mostly the Rose Art trays, the ones that have the little round "cakes"of paint .Watercolors are alot more forgiving than any other wash medium I have ever tried,if ya goof up just wash it off No solvents,no staining,no fumes,inexpensive & safe to use around kids and pets. Try it out ! TTFN

PS acrylics make for horrible washes once they set up (& they do it FAST!!!) theyre almost totally impossible to alter or remove!

How did you do the mud?
