Abramsguy21 Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Hey there! So I've been wanting to post a WIP here, but for some reason iOS and iPhone won't let me post pics to the website. Well, my good friend Paul, is going to help out and post the finished project pics from his computer. THANKS Pauli!!!I won't dive into a build review or the pros and cons of the detail. But I will say I had a blast building this thing! And it, surprisingly, was a quick build. I did add some of the AM stuff offered up by ZM but made by other companies like Master-model and Eduard. I started this back at the end of June and topped it off at the end of August, beginning of September. This was also the second time I've attempted a mottled pattern free hand. I used a combination of Tamyia paints and MM Acrylics to give her some color, oil washes to bring out the panel lines and some pigments to dust it up. I also used some of the Tamiya weathering pastels/pigments to give it a little wear. Scratches and chips were done with artist pencils and acrylic paints.If you have tips or techniques to help weather it along, please feel free to add. Otherwise, enjoy! I sure the hell did! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

efrick Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Just superb! The mottling alone is perfect, but the painting/weathering of the exhaust dampeners is absolute genius. Kudos and thank you for sharing!!! Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kahunaminor Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Congratulations on a great result! The stand outs for me are the exhaust. They look very, very good. I have to ask, did you mottle or "reverse mottle" because from here I cannot tell. Nice to see you squeezed it onto a ZM base.
