im not planning on making a 'finished' thread for everything i do.....just going to get dumped in this thread
the Bofors and tractor is done.......gave it a light wash and a matt coat, added some glass to the windscreen
the tower is slowly coming together
i decided to go for a black over green camo
been doing a lot of lurking around t'internet and its all very confusing in a funny way
i cant find any genuine colour wartime pics.......lots of pics taken 40 odd years after thats not a lot of use, lots of pics of preserved buildings, which again is not a lot of good..........official documentation from the time says use green, brown or black...................it seems some buildings were definatly all green.......or bare brick.......black over green was definatly Cold War use
theres some interesting discussions on forums out there....not just modelling ones but on airfield preservation sites and local history sites
one guy went on about how brown and green camo is all a myth, never happened, and its all down to the Battle of Britain movie.......they painted the building in error and its sort of become standard
another guy said that brown had been used on every single camoflaged building during WW2, and he had the proof in all the black and white pics he had collected.....lol lol
anyway.....its green and black
decided to have a little fun which will never be seen once the roof goes on
ive added a wall on the first floor......one side will become a sort of briefing room......the other side will be Ruperts office....going to have a go at making a few bits of furniture
next step is adding some glass to the windows.........i use clear laminating sheets thats been put through the machine with noting inside
