Meeting with the top Armor modelers in Los Angeles today so I can pick their brains about the best way to paint this truck. Winch is done.

I wasn't planning to mess with the winch in the back but I could not putty the seams correctly and after reviewing photos the kits part was a bit off for me. Made some corrections. Also added the front winch (still in progress) IMG_4916.MOV IMG_4916.MOV IMG_4916.MOV IMG_4916.MOV IMG_4916.MOV IMG_4916.MOV since the kits part doesn't work for me and needed imprivement.

yes, will do. thanks

Pete, I have several books on the Skyraider if you need ref.photos.

I forgot to detail the wheel area. I really wanted to start painting but I guess not quite.

Good work Tim

I really like the work you are putting into this. My kind of detailing.

Looks good

Doors open then. Added accurate mud flaps ,remade booth fuel tanks, extented tool box in the back and adding air filter on the hood. Last photo is the new addition to the family, we rescued him from a kill shelter, he loves jumping and running after the stick.

Thanks Guys. Reading this book since I need to learn how to paint Armor.

Looks sharp. I think when Mr Tamiya died making new kits became to expensive and are concentrating on their RC line.

So nice. Gonna need a bigger base( famous movie line, well, I changed it a bit). great modeling

It's getting close to painting. I am debating if I display the truck with doors open or not.

that is one build i am happy to see. I have it as well. I cant wait to see this put together

Measure twice cut once. I need to put the helo on its feet in order to have the right cable length to hold the engine up.

Pete, to be honest I am a bit apprehensive about painting it since I have never done any armor painting. Definetly outside my comfort zone for sure.

Hydraulics cylinders installed. Crane is almost done. Will start on detailing truck next.

My boss and I were offered the movie RUST about 2 months ago and we flat out said "no interest". Yes I have an Opinion about Alec Baldwin. oliver

I handle all props for actors and teach actors how to handle weapons on movie sets. Glad u like the build.

The cabin and the oil tank are finally off the platform(not glued yet). It's time to install the hydraulics cylinders. Thanks to the potential Writers strike in Hollywood , all shows in Hollywood have come to a stop so plenty of time for modeling...

Never used AK paints before, I got 3 sets so I can mess with it a bit. Will let you guys know how it goes down.

New platform for the crane. I got my paint from AK(sold few photos for one of their upcoming story on scrachbuilding). Now I can finish the crane cabin.

Looking good Tim.
