I received my Kickstarter package from Trenchworx last week. I received three FT-17s to support my Marines and one Rolls Royce Armored Car because I though it looked cool. I thought I would show off a little progress on my Bulletproof Ghost. I think this is a great kit and well worth the price. Hopefully they will finish the fulfilling the Kickstarter soon and I can buy another one of these little gems.

A couple of mis-steps on my part cutting sprues but otherwise it went together really well. Just dry fit the parts first before you decide something is sprue and find out later its one of the locator pins. The flash was not extensive at no more than I would expect on any resin kit. The detail is very sharp on this one.

I was finally able to start getting some paint on the Rolls. I want to have it ready to enter at ReaperCon at the end of April. Here are a couple of pictures.

At this stage I'm working in some dark undertones with Reaper HD Burnt Umber

And here is the base coat of Vallejo Model Air Middlestone.
The camoflage is hard edged so the next step is applying some masks for the next color.

A nice start. I agree, parts look sharp.

Another night at the airbrush booth. Not terribly happy with the results at this point. I'll go in with the brush and see how it goes. Then I'll decided whether to strip it down and start over.
(https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-IOwceFhP6tU/VROK69FvwUI/AAAAAAAAYK0/sq_X79k9aAI/w891-h553-no/RRAC.Camo.8.jpg)

I had really resisted painting this with a brush but in the end it might just be best to strip it and hand point everything but the basecoat or make sure I have the masking material that I need to do this . More pictures on my blog:

Hope the brush fixes the (minor) issues. Will allow the harder edge required in the different faces of the model.

Excellent brushwork and all the best with the Kickstarter :-* :-* :-*

Just as a side note the Kickstarter was finished last year and I received delivery on mine back in November. The Rolls is available on the Trenchworx website along all the other WWI AFVs that they did. I feel better about this work after attacking it one of my filberts. I'm not completely happy with it yet, it definitely still needs some more work on the camo before I move on but I'm happier. I did get the wheels started, all white!
A couple of pictures one from the start and one from the end.

Cameras really do show all the flaws.

Looking excellent thus far :-*

I made some more progress today. I'm hoping to have the whole thing finished this weekend, but I'm not sure I will be able to get in anymore work today. I took a final bit of work on the camo, quite happy with that. Worked on the spoked wheels and after the filter was dry went in and did some chipping. Pretty pleased with how that turned out.

Another day of work. I used enamel washes and rust effects from both AK Interactive nad MiG Productions. These take longer to dry than my acrylics do so I had some time on my hands to catch up on the movie I was watching.
First applied a dark brown wash from AK Interactive
(https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-ihHJfEjVVtM/VRiMAB-JxcI/AAAAAAAAYP8/DdKvxyYSDZM/w872-h553-no/RRAC.Washing.2.jpg)
Then a very light rust wash from MiG Productions
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-LJWCt6CO8ww/VRiJ-3vhDoI/AAAAAAAAYPU/2hOmOSvAJDc/w875-h553-no/RRAC.Rust1.1.jpg)
I realized at about this point that I should have applied some chipping to the large chocolate brown camouflage. I'll have to catch that on the next session.

No pictures tonight. I messed up the last layer of paint. If this was going to strictly be a gaming pieces I would have just finished it off. Since I was going to enter in a paint competition at the end of April, I'm in the process of stripping it down. I suppose this gives me an opportunity to fix somethings that I didn't like but its still a bit depressing.
-
Very nice. Love the weathering.
-
Sorry to hear on the backwards step. Looking forward to it.
-
And straight back to it.
About halfway through the stripping process

Looking really great! (the first pic):

And the camo is done. Now its time to dirty it up. I'll apply a filter first to bring the colors together a bit and then I'll pull out the weathering tools again. I'll be skipping the sprayed mud effect that I was trying to go for the first time.

Quite a bit more work has been completed on the Rolls. Finished the camo, applied a brown wash to the panel lines and details and started the weathering with rust and dust. I will work the dust a bit more but I need to let the first application of pigments dry and see how they look.
Relatively clean at this point, just the dark wash has been applied

Now its time to dirty this baby up; rust and dust applied

Looking good.

A final round of mud and dust and finally gave her some wheels. I may tweak it a bit depending on how the display base comes out. Right now I think I may need a bit more dirt on those white tires.

A really lovely diorama :-* :-* :-* :-* :-*
Pride of place in the cabinet?

Came out great; glad the repainting was worth it.

Where it goes in the cabinet will depend entirely on how well it does in the competition!

There's a great "Just For Fun" comp on the Steve Dean Forum going on at present:

Assuming you're not already a member it might be worth joining the forum and entering the next comp?
Details of the how to join are on the first page, top left:

Just a thought anyway :)

I'm not sure I would even get through the first round in that but I'll think about it.

Well, if it's any comfort, I've just been knocked out of the first round and have come second in previous comps.... it's all just for fun :).

Well the ghost didn't do as well as I hoped it would. I pulled off a bronze medal when I was hoping for silver. This seems to be a category that I have problems with. Just going to have to work harder at it next year. This was such a neat kit though I was hoping to do better with it.
