WOW! That truck looks great. The weathering is fantastic. Like the overall concept too which just adds to my awe. I'd sell my soul to be able to paint like that! Any offers?

Thanks guys for your great comments

 

[megazord_man]

I've continued sketching more colours in, lots more to do though.

Brill stuff! greatly impressed

 

[Alexandra]

Yep!! very, very curious to see this one finished. Great job!!

 

[megazord_man]

Cheers! Whilst I made progress on Newark before the weekend I've been doing another project since then. The new project is another Dark World Creations vehicle conversion kit - it needs to be finished for Bath in less then 2 weeks time - gulp! Hence I'm keeping my head low for the next few days ;-)

Oh - and here's the progress on Newark (mostly on his upper legs) -

Looks great so far, love the orange color! Quick question, whats the average PSI you spray at for general base coating and spraying?

 

[megazord_man]

Cheers Regarding airbrush pressure - the dial says about 22psi - btw, the orange is Vallajo model air colour light red and the blue is one of the new ones from GW (which was a pig to use through an airbrush).

Right then, I've a long painting day ahead but so far I've finished the wheels, engine and underneath. Next I'm onto the interior.

Here's the finished interior and resin back part -

Now onto the resin windows and metal thing at the front.....

Very nice. The age on the fuel tanks and cans is very realistic. These vehicles remind me of the good models from Fine Scale Modeler magazine.

 

[Milosh]

Very impressive sir. You really should do an SBS on your weathering technique. I know i would love to see it and put it to use.

 

[wargamesculptor]

I concour with Milosh as your weathering is so impressive and would love to have that effect on some of my models

 

[megazord_man]

Thanks! Here's one I made earlier http://www.wampforum.com/VB4/content.php?r=3491-Weathering-Tutorial

 

[megazord_man]

I've now put the thing together and painted the bare metal parts - using a white pencil I added manufacturing chalk marks

Next is the weathering the main body, but that will have to wait to tomorrow (and the coming few days)

Holy crap, that looks like real plate steel out of ths weld shop. Extremely impressive!
