Isn't nice that photobucket is totally useless now. Oh unless you want to pay the ridiculous price per month. guess that makes forums kind of useless now. 3rd party hosting was just running them into the ground, Is there an alternative to this. Cheers Murph...

I Love the SAS Jeeps here is the Dragon 1/6th scale I built a while back. Cheers Murph...

YEP i HAVE THIS KIT WAITING IN THE WINGS. I'll be starting it soon also, but the pt boat has to get finished first. Cheers Murph...

Jerry I always mount my figures on a painting base, the less I handle them the better. Also may I ask if you are sealing the layers of paint I find this is the way to go when after I finish painting the layers of the figure. Adding to this I can't stress enough how important it is to use a quality Acrylic Primer that is allow to cure 24 hours before the start of painting. Cheers Murph...

Jerry your blending difficulties are a matter of consistency Vallejo is very think. You have to have the consistency of paint to almost dirty water several light coats will always be better than two thick coats. This is very true when working smaller scale figures. where the consistency being to thick can be amplified. Cheers Murph...

Small update paint and weathering continues. Cheers Murph...

Hey thanks to all that visit the blog, I do appreciate your interest. Also thank you for all the kind comments. Here is another small update in the build as I weather. I like to start by base-coating with a good black acrylic primer by AK Interactive, this allows me to lay down and use the primer as my base shadow, I lightly go in and add tone affects in the first layer and build out from there. I then will clear coat to protect the paint before I weather, I allow the future acrylic to dry over night. I always use oil paints as my wash medium, in that way I can mix the colors

Starting some initial weathering of the inside Cabin on the Half track, this is a bit of a weather as you go kit. comments are always appreciated. Remember to visit the Blog site" http://dpmurphy81.blogspot.com/ Cheers Murph...

Go in with some tan pigment to give it a texture, the powder will tone it back and add depth to it. then do a lite wash over it. All it needs is that added texture. Cheers Murph...
