Japanese on Mars **29.06.2017 Japanese legation wip**

[Quendil]

Outstanding keep it up

[Dewbakuk]

Looks fantastic! Although I think you should dirty up the inside of the coal tender, given that it was full of.... well... coal.

[Silent Invader]

Great work James. 

[Eric the Shed]

Gulp...this is fabulous

 

[FramFramson]

Now that's some excellent work! Don't sell yourself short there! Great paintwork, especially on the engine.

[Mason]

Bloody brilliant, mate.
Lovely colours, should work really well with the rest of the set up.
 

Got another two kits turning up soon 

What to do with them though 

More trains?

How about a crashed version for when those dastardly Martians get up to a bit of derailing...?
 

[OSHIROmodels]

Many, many thanks one and all

Yes, I did that after posting with some inks and pastels as it kind of stood out on the posted photo above

I have several ideas for more trains but I've got to be careful it doesn't turn into a model railway set up 

cheers

Whatever you do, between yourself, Michi, Constable Bertrand and all the other train builders on here, you will be putting me to shame....as I am just going to chuck some weathering on mine and move on........too much to do!

Don't we just know it 

cheers

[gamer Mac]

Lovely work on the paint job and weathering is great.
I have a bag of model rail coal that well.... looks like coal, would be idea for the tender.
The only small thing that jars a bit is the brass coloured chain for connecting the carriages. Maybe should be iron

[Bullshott]

Nice work James

I wouldn't want to be in the forward gun car if the crew fired that beast sideways!

[Thunderchicken]

Lovely work old chum! 

What colour did you use for the tender ad carriages?

[OSHIROmodels]

Thanks again chaps

Coals sorted and I'll be painting the brass chain. I thought I had some dark coloured stuff but alas, no

It's mainly for clearing the track in front 

What colour did you use for the tender ad carriages?

Tamiya dark green spray. It looks awful just after spraying but dries nicely and is a good base after two coats.

cheers

The train is, to use 19th century parlance, bitchin'.

[OSHIROmodels]

I've actually finished some figure for a change 

Summer uniform as it can get quite warm on Mars 

The white was a spray base coat, inked and then the details were painted in as normal.



Got another five units worth of bare lead that might get the same treatment (including one unit of cavalry)

cheers

James
