Carlos Ruined Church Painted!
« on: May 07, 2011, 11:25:51 PM »
Well, that was rather quick. Practically hyperspeed I say.


I'll let the G-Man do the talking  :grin: :










I've kept it rather simple this time, just a few coloured stones,  black soggy wood, some weathering and about a tenner worth of tufts from various manufacturers.

I was going to show the VBCW version of me as well, but I gave that several coats of matte varnish in the past 2 days and it still shines like a diamond... not sure what is wrong. I used my standard matte spray over GW Gloss spray (first time) and it did nothing. Dried it in the over at 100 C for 2 hours, and resprayed it after cooling and let it dry all night. This morning again no difference. I then coated it with Humbrol Matte, and I just checked, no effect. Last attempt in the morning with Vallejo Matte, if that doesn't work I'll just have to take off the paintjob and redo them from scratch.

That's positively divine. Who makes this?

Carlos, this is his blog > http://cprbattlezone.blogspot.com/
I paid 33 euros for it, and I'm looking forward to purchasing more of his Stalingrad stuff, if he releases it.

That is very nice indeed.  I notice from Carlos' blog that the base is integral, too.  Just out of interest (as I'm looking for a derelict church), how do you think this model would work with 28mm?   Is there any chance of a comparison shot with a 28mm model (do you actually own any?  ;))?

If you don't mind banging the models head while entering the front door, sure......If that is an issue, then that one won't work for 28mm. (I took a 28mm and put it in the entrance. From the nose up you slam your head into the arch. Not reccomended in real life either)
