Use a good liquid cement like from Plastruct or Tenax 7R its the best thing I found.

I really like your approach to painting, its a solid process, love it! Frankly, I find it the best part of the builds, really brings out the character of the models. I really hate finishing my models, it seems like all the fun has come to an end, but like they say, its not the destination but the journey right?

Great Build!

Cheers!
Thanks for the glue tip.

I hear ya, but I have a ton in the pipeline.

I still have to paint stowage and begin weathering, so not all the fun is over yet!

Nice paint job so far, :thumbup: but the 0.50 cal is Way to light as are most of your tools.
And The BITCHING! on and on About the panel line paint is A big Turn OFF!. :thumbdown:

A photo showing the darker 0.50 cal, and the semigloss paint. :wave:

Hi "Harry",

Where did you find that photo; internet, book? That is the first I've seen of the Chain Link Fence mounted in front of the driver in that fashion. Interesting detail that would look great on the model.

Harry,
Thank you for the constructive info, and bitching about stuff is just how I roll.
there has been no weathering done yet so things will lighten up/darken down as I apply finishes.

Eastern,
Agreed on the clay like dirt, I bought splash mud that most closely matched to my eye and will be applying that quite liberally.

Bitch as much as you like, they are your videos, you don’t need anybody’s validation. I’ve enjoyed them.
