DesertRat

update:

yeah thats what I was aware of. I remember you told me to do more because it whites out in the sun

Hey mate, only a snippet, but the images were pretty crap, so I just went for broke and did a little artistic license

okay so finally gotten back to this....been busy starting a new job of late..... So started to layer up the weathering...cheers Jay

wow sorry for the delay but have an update...all handpainted stripes!!..first 13 done....more to do on the left of the lid now cheers Jay

updates....pretty much done on this....

Updates....at last

Update...paint time!!! just finished the second coat of black... cheers Jay

I totally agree!!

hahahaha cheers Paul, I was just talking with Ruggero too he said theres a hint of one...but if you look at my image its brighter and the entire outline is not visible. I also have on my facebook page an image header and there one trooper with a white one....so many little differences it great!!!

Looking at the paint job now. I just noticed on the hi res images of the desert captain, the grey area on the left ear piece has no outer black line....just the single verticle line on one of the 'mold stripes' can someone just confirm this so I know Im not going nuts cheers Jay

Hey Felix its fine for now, its not finished...I have plenty of references...the final look is the important bit. cheers Jay

update.... added the brass coloring to the scope and the counter.... Jay

hey Cheers Craig!! Hope to have an update soon!!

okay...so, its put together... ready to paint before adding the lenses and also the neck rubber.... cheers J
