Dupes,
There are no errors. Only creation by mistake. It's helped me from lobing some builds across the garage.
Cheers

With enough thrust, pigs fly just fine.
Nice tank :)

Came to town completely unprepared...can't drag pics to my laptop directly from my memory card. Needed to edit them at home first. Looks like the update will have to wait until Monday.
See you then!

Hey, thanks a lot you guys!
I'm just about done with all the detail painting, and have taken the first stabs at making the sheets/tarps thingies using tissue paper.. Now I feel myself procrastinating a bit, as I'm a bit worried about making some sort of colossal weathering error and killing the whole build.
Marc, one heck of a job you've done! Now if I can quit seeing so many spots before my eyes.

Mike..
Looking awesome Dupes. It's nice to see something a little different here. You don't see as much modern stuff and one with such a cool camo pattern. Makes me want to break out one my modern kits. Looking forward to the next update.
Marc
I've been thinking of your weathering dillema and, while I know I don't carry the weathering chops of SMJ, I've got some recommendations. As SMJ already said - really thin oil washes. And I'm thinking in some dingy greys at first. That'll give it a dingy look, but one that is consistent in tone with the white, so it won't alter or overpower it.
Then, it is on to the pin washes, my friend. That is where I'd use the ochers and umbers, etc....
That is probably how I'd approach it...
I like the camo scheme. You've pulled it of wonderfully. Looking forward to seeing it weathered.
Yeah, I know whatever it is is going to be light. Don't want to overpower the circles too much. Need to just get to the level of "operational use", and then cake a bunch of snow on there.
I'm not worried...SMJ being the weathering master will figure something out.
Dupes + SMJ + 1 Vulcan... Vulcan Mind Meld... can it be done in the FSM Forums.. tune in Next week..
( key old school Star Trek Theme...) bodly go where no glue sniffer has gone before.. <-- best Vulcan??
Marc: maybe a few light brown washes, or an ochre one.. very subtle, it doens't look to dirty in your pic..

dupes: I'm glad I made laugh, I hope your client wasn't thinking you were laughing at them.
No way doogs going to see this in the GB, you could hope he's following this thread, but I'd shoot him a PM if you're really trying to reach him.
Haaaaaaaaahahhahaaaaa...I just laughed in a customer's ear as I was trying to load this thread while on the phone. That's one of the funniest things I've read in a loooong time!
(imagine I had inserted 3 of the old-forum laughing smilies in a row)
I'll be calling you sometime shortly to hear your advice on the weathering. Now if I could just get The Doog in on this one as well...Doog? You out there?
dupes Please do poke around some more - I'm going to need some bright idea as to how to effectively weather this thing. Figured you might have a couple! I'll be calling before too long to hear what you think.

dupes: BOY DO I EVER !!!: I'm so friggin' jealous this isn't my work that I had planned on flying up to Maine, put on my Ninja suit, fight-off the moose on your driveway, kidnap your model, and finish her on MY workbench.
Seriously man, give me a call soon! Little preview: DILUTED OIL WASHES...FEEL the washes dupes...BE the washes...
SMJ - I know...isn't it a sweet scheme?
Deafpanzer - I haven't decided who to root for yet. Ideally my preferred S-Bowl matchup would have been Jets/Vikes (first rookie QB vs oldest QB ever), but things didn't quite turn out that way! All I know is that it's going to be a serious shootout...what's the highest scoring Superbowl ever?
Dupes: Dang It...I have got to find more time to get on this forum!
Where the heck did you find that camo' scheme? I FRIGGIN' LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!! I had a chance to score that kit at SYRCON for cheap, too...man am I regretting it now I would have loved to try that for "Winter Warriors, III, Snowed In!"
I'll have to scan thru this thread a bit and see how you're coming along!
I will be following your work because I really like the camo scheme!
Sorry about the Jets... now you can root for the Colts. GRIN No question the Jets will be a great team for next few years if that young QB Mark continues to play well and keep Patriots out of the play offs.

WTF? If I remember correctly, I typed "Give me all of your phone numbers, and I'll be sure to give you a call". How did it get to "Give me all of your phone numbers, and I'll be sure to give you s s *report me* call"???
I love it! Its so funky and cool. And I think its awesome! Great Job!!!
dupes s s *report me*
s s *report me*
I saw a bunch of these pop up over in Manny's thread. What the heck is this? Dupes, you using bad words again??
Thanks s s *report me* ton guys! This one is coming out even better than I had hoped it might. However, I'm starting to reach that point where I'm going to need some help - what can I do to weather this monster that isn't going to aversely affect the white paint? I don't really want to "brown it all out" with raw/burnt umber washes, do I? Any and all weathering advice gladly accepted!
Al - great shots of that one from AMPS...I missed it (my first was '08), was hoping no one had brought one in "recent memory". Oh well, maybe everyone forgot...
Side note - I would like to reply in s s *report me* more timely fashion to you fellas, but as of the forum re-design, I can no longer make replies to the forum via my phone (Safari won't accept whatever new coding there is) which was my only way to do so after work or the coffee shop. Ugh. Give me all of your phone numbers, and I'll be sure to give you s s *report me* call. Heh.
Whoa... Simply stunning. You did an awesome job with the stencil. One of the rare times one doesn't want white to cover well.
Now thats freaking cool! Well done dupes that is spot on.
More builds like this and I may just have to give some modern stuff a try.

wbill76 Very very nice work Marc with the template. Looks "spot on"! I've thought about using a similar method for the "disc" style camo used by the Germans and am filing this one away for future reference in terms of creating a template.

Yeah, Marc, sorry I forgot to mention it, but that template of yours is the sh....uh, the poop...
Just caught up with this thread...looking forward to seeing this in person. Someone had one at AMPS East in 2007.

That is superb! I love it. I did not realize from the photos that you had posted that you were going to carry the pattern up onto the hull and the turret roof. I had actually wondered how you were going to deal with that, but now I see. Great job!!
Love it! I've lurking here waiting for the spots! The idea with the photo enlargement and the masks is a great idea.

Very nice job.. !!
