Great work sir. It takes a lot of talent to turn an underscale turd into a desirable piece.

And thanks guys for the kind words. I have a long list of ideas and am treating this as my last custom for the foreseeable future. Should I melt the plastic tools off of the metal hull from underneath and paint them?

Is the middle light on the driver's side a convoy light or IR headlight? I painted it like a black light just in case. Sorry about the flash, but it's the only way the paint showed up:

And tamiya sticks to pickel's resin wonderfully with or without primer.

Tamiya rattle cans are amazing when used properly. Goes on so thin it is impossible to tell that the plastic is not molded in that color. Way too damn expensive, but worth every penny for those special projects.. :thumbsup:

All cleaned up and should be done for the day:

I actually have a functioning printer now and was thinking the same thing. Maybe some pin-ups and a map on the wall with a gun rack. I'll revisit the interior once the exterior is complete. Thanks WW, I used a sponge for the last coat on the inside and it erased all of the brush strokes. :)

I can't find my curved wall piece, so I just roughed out a flat wall for the back. I could give 2 shits about accuracy on a Bradley with Panzer III road gear. ;) Will probably tear the chairs out and paint them a different color for more detail. Wish I had one of those Bravo WWII maps to...

Starting on the troop compartment. Green is the same color as the Bravo tanker helmets. Painting with this Folk Art chalk ain't easy, but atleast it covers well. :)

Great concept. I love when items are reinvented. :)

Very lucky indeed. I am amazed. :)

Amazing plane you two. Wish I could afford it.

Thank WW. The paint seems to work better when painting solid like the interior, but I just couldn't get it to dust of the brush while drybrushing. The foam brush might just do the trick inside the troop compartment. The splotchy is ok for now since there are a few more layers to go with...

A bit better of the lens:

Done for the day. The lens is clear red over silver which gives it depth and a copper tone, but camera or lighting are failing me.

They seem to paint surfaces well, but I could not keep the consistency right to drybrush with. Starting on the details. Amazing how much life just the lights give it:

Drybrushed with crappy Folk Art OD. That stuff is frustrating to work with and made it more of a wetbrushing than anything else.

:) I knew it would be OD the minute I bought that book and saw that picture 2yrs ago. Not sure if I've ever seen another, but I've never searched specifically for it on the net.

Where the color scheme came from: West Germany in 1988
