Long Range Desert Group

Thanks guys.

It's been so long since I did any modelling let alone military, that I screwed up by clear coating and adding the decals before doing the pre-shading and chipping!!!!!! DOH!!!!

So now i've matt coated and now need to see if I can spray the pre-shading fine enough to avoid covering the decals!!!

Oh buy, what a bozo!!!!

Wasn't going to do the pre shading tonight but thought I'd better get it done rather than let it play on my mind. Looks like I may be able to make it work.









Next up will be to spray more Desert Yellow in the 'boxes' then spray the same colour over the pre-shading. That will be the make or break methinks!!!

Will be great Al.

Looking forward to seeing how the nest step progresses the over all look. Great stuff Al, keep it coming.

You'll be grand Al, nice work.

Thanks for the confidence boost guys.

Well, it's not as subtle as I would like it but it should look OK when the weathering proper goes on. At least I hope so. LOL

They are looking sterling Al, especially looking forward to the cargo on the Jeep being picked out.

Keep up with the tutorial, Al. We're all watching.

Awesome work! The shading/painting is stunning, can't wait to see it weathered.

Thanks for the kind words guys.

I did some very light streaking but it was so light, it barely shows in the photos.





I followed this up with some AK Africa Dust effect. I'll see what it's like when it's fully dry and decide wether it needs more or some taking off.




It's all a bit glossy at this stage but will improve greatly when dull coated.

Great progress Al, looking really good.

Thanks Gary.

I applied the dull coat but now it looks like it needs more Africa Dust.

Looking awesome!
