DUST Luther rumbles out of the factory
« on: 17 March 2011, 05:51:50 PM »
Howdy all,
Inspired by the other fine mecha making their debut here, my first painted Dust Luther mech hs rumbedl out of the factory! Great models, fun to paint. Gotta get me an airbrush and try my hand at that.

The best cammo of the war and it is a lot easier to do with a airbrush.

Great stuff,
Brian

Very nice.
I look forward to seeing it in action, perhaps vs those Sov tanks in the background. ::)

Thanks

LOL! A pair of poor T-28s against a mech armed with twin 7.5 cm KwK 42 L/70?? Yikes for the Soviets!

You're probably right.
So then you'll just have to paint up some Sov walkers or a big barreled cat killer. :D

or may be the Sovs could get an American walker or two by 'lend lease."

Sorry for the late posting, but I had to say, if you do that work with a regular brush, you shall be a terror with an airbrush! I begin to tremble at the results, once you've hit stride!  :o

I believe it's the hundreds 'just over the hill' that will make the difference.  :D

And, given the abilities of Soviet attack coordination at the time, two at a time should model it well enough.

Amazing!  It's a great kit that has the proper German armor appearance and that brutal Panzer bulk, and your paint job makes it lively yet historically "accurate" (ha!).  I agree that airbrushing would have made it even better but it looks great just as it is (a lot of WW2 camo was painted on by troops who had brushes, not spray guns).
