INRE last post, i did clean off a station and pulled out DD that has to be done by mid June. looks better than i thought given it will be cases on a shelf so not going to have contest scrutiny. no excuse for building poorly but it does mean some little boggers won't be seen.
got 12 powder bags painted gray white and 12 canisters german gray. when they dry will paint black rounds and brass end casings. (ran out of clips). also painted ammo cart german gray instead of yellow for some contrast. here is the elevation mechanism set together. going to be a lot of individual priming and painting. ig it looks a little rough remember 1. i will clean it up some more, 2. all of this inside the carriage won't be seen, especially down in travel mode and 3. i'm assuming they would leave the inside gray to conserve paint. pity as this is a pin wash dream.
ON A SIDE NOTE. vallejo paints nicely but i find, even after cleaning, if i let the airbrush sit for a couple of days it gets stiff. had to field strip mine today. easy enough to run anything like water though it each day to prevent that.

Amazing build log, will be looking out for your next update Mr. waynec!

Happy Modeling!
Looks good, Wayne!
It's going to be especially cool with a crew of Velociraptors crewing the beast!
Gee Wiz Wayne you sure make it look easy....well maybe not easy, but possible.

Building the perfect model---just not quite yet

hey DOOG i hadn't thought of that and won't do it with the K-5 BUT i do have some modern towed 105s and 155s. would that be sci-fi, artillery, humor? (rhetorical). they really are 3-4 feet tall so shorter than in the movie. sounds like something from Harry Turttledove's WORLD AT WAR? series. i also have a couple of T-rexs in 1/35. uhmmmmmmmmmm?
ammo and i have a 4th box.the rounds are split between smooth (for normal barrels) and ribbed (for deep rifled barrels). i have a set out so i can use it for a mold to cast more if needed. i can use the smooth and put the ribbed on a pallet under a tarp.the rounds are painted Vallejo metallic black which i will tone down a bit with some pastels. there were large and small powder charge bags (all are the same here). i will wash them to highlight the detail. the brass is the end piece and the minimum charge. the gray canisters i think can hold the powder bags which would make sense. a max range on the ammo cart would be the projectile, 2 large and 1 small powder bag and the brass end piece.
like the couplers, now you know more about K-5 ammo than you will ever need.
ps from a previous post i got the hull masked and painted on the DDFH (DD From Hell). now to build 1/350 twin 20mm which have 10 parts each.
I'm still amazed when I see stuff like this with the sheer size of these projectiles, they sure thought bigger was better...The brass looks really good Wayne, how are you going to display the beast?

assuming i load ammo from a gondola. a long skinny base. i have to figure out how to break the base for transport and connect it for contests. i think i have a long enough wall with low shelving. it would fit on the mantle but, while my frau of 40 years supports my hobby(s), she doesn't want it in the living room. if not in my study than the bunker.
haven't done anything on the K-5 but here are some practice Velociraptors. i am using Iwata ComArt for base colors and playing with oil painting, washes, and filters for effects. i need to find some 1/35 modern USA helmets for a diorama. first one was the one i sold. a friend offered me $10 and it took a second at regionals (there were only 2 and the 1/24 Spinosaurus kinda overshadowed it. fortunately that guy is my friend so i have plenty of dino help)
Holy guacamole!! The detailing, the paint, the dinosaurs, DID YOU SEE THE SIZE OF THAT CHICKEN??!!!! This build made my head explode
Those dino's look really cool, Wayne!
