Very true mate - imagine a cast one already pre made with working links - just needing painting/weatheriing then closing the link together when fitted - that would be cool.

Old Collingwood Posted April 9, 2021 Author Share #311 Posted April 9, 2021 Evening all, some more progress today - I fitted the other rear guard, then I decided that the frontal area wasn't dirty/dusty enough - so out came my flat white and I started to dry brush in a few layers - its very very dusty now. I also dry fitted the turret then dry brushed atound the frontal areas as side to lens in with the hull. OC.

Old Collingwood Posted April 9, 2021 Author Share #319 Posted April 9, 2021 (edited) Seriously though - Is it to "OTT"? I am trying to make it look like its been on a dusty range with that dusty type of roads that kick up so much dust when you power along them - I have seen pics of them in quite similar conditions Just never tried to simulate one on a model before. This kind of finish - not my pic. OC.

lmagna Posted April 10, 2021 Share #320 Posted April 10, 2021 It is a proper look for whenever a tank is traveling under it's own power in unpaved conditions just as any other off road vehicle. BUT you can be certain that as soon as they return to base the crew will be all over the exterior cleaning dirt, dust, and mud from everywhere they can reach. The ideal is if they have a convenient shallow river close by where they can just drive in and give it a good scrub down. It seemed to me that every time I saw an armored unit they were either going somewhere getting dirty or sitting still getting cleaned.

mtaylor Posted April 10, 2021 Share #324 Posted April 10, 2021 It does look properly dusty, OC. When I was in choppers, it was common for the crew chief and first mech to wipe the bird down with some hydraulic fluid. Gave it a nice clean look but as soon as the rotor head started turning the dust immediately landed and stuck on all surfaces. They had a lot of pride in their machines. Hmm.... now that think about it... there probably should have been a concours d'elegance competition for the cleanest one. Some were that thorough. Even touching up the painted numbers, warnings, etc. inside and outside. A few tried cleaning up the engine exhaust but that was pretty hopeless.

lmagna Posted April 10, 2021 Share #325 Posted April 10, 2021 I don't know of anyone who tried the hydraulic fluid idea on a Huey but I do know of a couple of birds where the crew chief managed to get his hands on some high gloss OD and "pimped" their choppers out. In both cases they were "command" birds that were used by the CO and other upper ranking big wigs. Our birds may not have been quite as pretty but they were clean where it was needed and mechanically as tight as we could make them.

Old Collingwood Posted October 19, 2021 Author Share #330 Posted October 19, 2021 Evening all, well I decided to have a slight break from my Waterloo Dio - and get back on this as it needs a few finishing touches, I have made the Two Jerry can - they need spraying, I am also making the comms aerials out of some wire I brought a long time ago, I will also flat coat over it using my airbrush (any excuse just to use it)😁 Its a good break from my figure work as I looked at the next batch og KGL and thought to myself - infact said to the admiral "I am abit fed up of figure painting for now".
