Peterpools Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 John Holy smokes that seems like a lot of weight considering the kit only calls for 40 grams. My money is riding on you as always. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it does I'll replace it with metal gear. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnB Posted March 12, 2023 Author Share Posted March 12, 2023 Most of the painting is done! Still have some touch up to do. I decided to use Xtracolor on this one. As the paint was still very tacky I decided to leave the model on the painting base for this photo. 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That camo sure was a tedious thing to do! Now I'll have to let it sit over night for the paint to dry as Xtracolor takes a while. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
