Thank you 6milPhil!!...


I have another update with an early paint base coat to knock down some of the "brilliant silver" shine just prior to beginning the weathering phase...









Cheers,
Carl

Hey, Thanks guys...I really have a ton of washes to do, but so far I am really happy with the way it has turned out so far...still have some detailing to get picked out, and the shell cradle for the hoist still needs doing...as well as the shell tips that will go on the .38 cal. bullet cases that will make up the ammunition.....i will include a few "spent" shell cases as well...
Another few days and I will post more pics.
Thanx again y'all!!...

Is that a gatorade bottle skillfully used so the lightning is part of the model?

If so, Genius!

Are you serious? You really put working ammunition as decorparts on that model? Just for the Photos or is that intended to become a long time solution?

HAHA...DELTADOG...no worries...it was just for the photo shoot...i will add some air dry clay warheads in the next few days to some spent 9mm casings.....no live fire ammo   ;)
I was running short on time...lots of irons i the fire, and decided to take some photos today before I went to work.

Sometimes the abyss is looking back on you, Freud has said. So I had to ask that. Madness is always everywhere you know ^^
