Shar2 Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Having built my first take in a very long time in the shape of the M551 Sheridan for the Vietnam GB, I thought I'd give another one a go with the added benefit of trialing freehand airbrushing. Anyway finished it off tonight with the aid of a small dio base and some MIG pigments. Had problems with the tracks, mainly the individual links, but that's all part of the learning process. Hope you like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey58 Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 That looks very nice,well done.I like the equipment stowed on there.Do you think there could be a little more weathering/wear and tear added? Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shar2 Posted February 4, 2011 Author Share Posted February 4, 2011 I think I could get away with more weathering, but was trying to restrain myself. As for the model, well, I may go back to it and add some chips etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonymousDFB1 Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Nice work is there anything they didn't 'hang' on the 113 chassis? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very nice,I like it! Thanks for the comments. I'm using a Spraymaster, otherwise known as an Iwata copy, but it's seems to work fine for what I want it for. I'll give it another light dusting when the work bench is clear again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
