Abramsguy21 Posted November 3, 2013 Posted November 3, 2013 Hey folks! I'm brand new to the LSM pages and am a full time member of the Temecula Valley Model Club. Just a great group of modelers! Well, here's some WIP pics of my Buffalo that I started about 3 months ago! I did scratch build the MEAP Armor on the sides (white styrene looking boxes). The Bar armor above the stand-off armor was also modified to fit directly on top of the MEAP Armor. Overall, it took about a good 40-50 hours to put the Bar Armor together. Lots of small details inside and out. Anyways, have a look and send some feed back! I'll start with the interior shots first! Any questions, don't hesitate to ask! *Image intensive* Enjoy! 4
Paulster Posted November 3, 2013 Posted November 3, 2013 Thank you for joining and posting. I will retract my extortion threats. This is defiantly a Valley Con winner. BTW. Go to a/c wip. There's a Uhu (ZM) build going on.
Dave J Posted November 3, 2013 Posted November 3, 2013 Love the extra details inside like the water bottles, cooler and the M4's That PE looks to be a pain!
Jamme Posted November 3, 2013 Posted November 3, 2013 Love it! Fantastic attention to details. Great job, congrats. Jamme
Grant Posted November 3, 2013 Posted November 3, 2013 First WOW! Secondly welcome aboard The S.S. LSM! I love what you've done with this Buffalo - the interior is extraordinary. Fantastic attention to detail.
Steve Scanlon Posted November 3, 2013 Posted November 3, 2013 Wow! welcome aboard, this is stunning work cant wait to see more, Steve.
Abramsguy21 Posted November 13, 2013 Author Posted November 13, 2013 Got some paint work done on the Buffalo the other day. I made an attempt to try the "hairspray" technique. It didn't quite pan out like I wanted it to. Oh well! No worries, it has a good base coat of a rust color that I can play with. I'll post more of the final color and some detail painting in the next couple days. 1
One-Oh-Four Posted November 13, 2013 Posted November 13, 2013 Hi Abramsguy, welcome to LSM! What a great WIP you have here! Great detailing and building! I like it very much!
Abramsguy21 Posted November 15, 2013 Author Posted November 15, 2013 Got some main painting and detail painting done today as well as adding the wheels and checking to make sure all six sit flat on the ground. I'll be doing a bit more detail painting done tomorrow and start an oil wash as well. Antannae wires still need to be added along with some stowage. Other wise, should be done in the next couple of weeks!
Jamme Posted November 15, 2013 Posted November 15, 2013 Great job. Can wait to see the weathering. Congrats, Jamme
Paulster Posted November 15, 2013 Posted November 15, 2013 Jay-Was this the kit you used "white out" for the non-skid texture?
