Re: Disorders bench
Great progress, Paddy. I added driver's pedals to my MUTT as well (mine aren't 100% accurate either and are more an exercise in fooling the eye!) - a worthwhile addition IMHO as the driver's footwell is quite visible on the completed model.
Doing - Tamiya 1/35th Universal Carrier.

Re: Disorders bench
Thanks guys.
Here's the seats after a coat of paint:
I also sanded the edges of each seat to make them look a bit more worn and not as uniform.
After three attempts at the camouflage I'm settling with this:
I'll get the other bits and bobs on tomorrow, although I'm leaving the wheels off until I weather the wheel wells.

Re: Disorders bench
The jeep is 99% complete, just a bit of work on the tires and some stowage in the back.
I've started on the Marines from the Multi National Force:
They are both white metal figures from the 80s.
The Capt on the left is from Chota Sahib and the other guy is from Cheshire Volunteer. Two companies long defunct.
They have been primed and base coated in Tamiya Desert Sand. The rest of the Woodland camo will be hand painted

Re: Disorders bench
Hi, Paddy. The jeep is very well modelled.
How did you blend the high contrast camo colours together, and lighten it all up?

If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing

Re: Disorders bench
Thanks Jim
59N - I painted the raised areas a lighter shade of the camo colours. I normally add a filter/glaze to blend camo colours but I'm a bit pushed for time with this, so I used Ammo for MIG and AK Interactive pigments.
I used the MIG pigment (Rubble) over most of the vehicle to blend the colours. A bit heavier on the lower edges. The faded parts on the bonnet (hood) are done with the AK pigment (middle east soil), as they have a tendency to 'stain' more than the MIG ones.
Hope that makes sense.

Re: Disorders bench
Happy to help. Should also have mentioned I used a dark pin wash around any details.59North wrote:Thank you, Paddy. Makes perfect sense.PTB11 wrote:

Re: Disorders bench
Love the Jeep Paddy. If you don't mind me asking, what did you use for the masking of the camo and what order do you paint the colour?
Paul
This is it. The moment we should have trained for.

Re: Disorders bench
Thanks Paul
I used Tamiya tape for the masking.
Colours used and order painted was:
Vallejo US dark green
Vallejo US Field drab
Tamiya Buff
Vallejo Black grey
I masked and sprayed the field drab and buff, but painted the black grey by hand.

Re: Disorders bench
Thanks Bilby.
The Marine capt is finished:
I still want a second marine in the dio, but rather than run out of time on the GB, I've made a start on the base and hope to get back to him before the end.
Here's the basic layout using modelling foamboard. It represents a small intersection on the outskirts of Beirut:
Its pretty easy to engrave details into this stuff.
I've had to leave it like this for tonight while the glue dries. I've used PVA as anything else seems to melt the foam board.

Re: Disorders bench
Have to echo everyone else's comments. That Jeep and the figures look amazing. Where are the figures from?

Re: Disorders bench
Great start to the diorama; have you tried 'foam-safe' CA adhesive? Quicker than PVA but I cannot vouch for it with the type of foam you are using. Less fume than normal CA too!
