[chris2681]

real like this one,so well done on the color so far looking good,
I do like these Russian things always can find some think interesting to do,

Thank you Monica , glad you like the progress so far

So I was thinking of maybe putting a cover over the barrel of the gun as it will depicted in towing mode. I will have to look and see if the Russians commonly practiced this , and what they looked like if they did. Probably going to put these on a base afterwards , possibly a muddy road? Im not sure yet.

Me too with the military models. I think it gives them a rough look that fits them.

I recon they were mostly "Rough Arsed Painted" anyhow. Particularly the Soviet stuff........... I brush paint everything. Not just the military stuff, motorbikes and cars as well..... I can turn out a pretty fair Gloss Finish with a brush and lots of patience Chris.

I guess so Peter! Id have thought you airbrushed that. Ive never done a car or anything as such so never invested in a airbrush kit. Plus its more intimate sitting under the spotlight and picking out details with the brush I think.

This! The feeling of calm and wellbeing I get from quietly painting stuff is imessurable.

Very true John. Its like being in a state of meditation with full attention on the piece your painting. I usually paint when no one is around if I can. I cant get into it when the kids are running around and there is noise around the house.

Almost done building. Still have some drybrush layers to do and to put the "glass" pieces in. Gonna try to find some ammo crates and equipment for the rear. Shes getting there slowly.

That's looking really good Chris, drybrushing is almost a forgotten art these days, so it's great to see a master at work

Thank you so much Patrick. But calling me a master is like gluing a horn on a pig and calling it a unicorn! :D I looked into these lil guys a bit and saw that they also mounted Katushya rockets on them. I almost was tempted , I think Grumpa has a spare Katushya laying around.
