sir david

welcome aboard buddy

sweet buddy

when i clear coated brads and neils, with wilkos own brand enamel laquer , i sprayed it from a fair distance (about 12" ) - a fine mist of laquer giving a "gritty" finish to the parts,and i clear coated the stock at a closer range to give a shine to it...its trial and error buddy , i really hope you sort it in time simon

awesome stuff bro !

its #160 german camouflage red brown,and many layers of satin black rub Simon :0)

NICE ONE MIKE ! :salute: :salute:

glad you like it buddy

nice work Simon

i hope you enjoy trooping this blaster as much as i enjoyed weathering her for you buddy let me know when she lands safely with you please Neil

Anthony............. that T-21 is totally Awesome bro! Neil ( Elegance ) has placed an order for one of these babies ! this is gonna be my next dry brush metallic weathering job for him ! ....cant wait ! :peace:

i use Wilkos own brand gloss enamel laquer ,though i apply from a distance of about 10 - 12" on the barrel/reciever to get a matt/satin finish ,but apply to the stock at a distance of approx 6" to get more of a "wet coat" shine to it ! its basically trial and error to see what works for you personally buddy

all good stuff here brothers !

:verymad: :verymad:

we love ya Rolf !

all is cool guys!

for my next (and second ) attempt,- as i said to Brad when i did his - ,i will consider routing out the ejector port ,then add the greeblei (made ,and fitted better next time ) to give the depth of the real port on the MG 34........ its all a learning curve for us all here ,to get the look better !....simons port greeblie is awesome ,and all stemmed from Ruggeros templates ! ..... i may even get Brads DLT back to my place and "re-work it " better if he's ok with it ...and, as Simon did....i didnt bend the patrts,just glued all the angles together and then shaped ,on my first attempt ! ....Good Stuff here !

nice greeblies Ruggero !

nice greeblie Simon !

the clear coat is hardening off nicely now guys,Neil will be getting her back early next week ! i really enjoy doing this stuff !...... and it is very theraputic too! ......maybe soon, i will knock up a video tutorial demonstrating the way i do my own style of the "PANDATROOPER INSPIRED" dry brush weathering technique ! .....TERRY IS A PURE GENIUS !....NUFF SAID !

i remember seeing the pics of Ricks ep.2 clone and his Gree when he was building em ! awesome clones bud !

he may have a tutorial up on you tube mate ....i looked at how his T-21 looked,and had a go myself....and, have been hooked on this technique ever since !

congrats buddy! youve worked hard,and it payed off ! awesome sandie simon!

i got a biker scout as my second costume buddy a pic of me relaxing with a TK buddy on an imperial re-con mission ! lol Uploaded with ImageShack.us

keeping with the 76' spirit,i always use Humbrol paints to weather and wilko's own brand enamel aerosol clear coat to seal it on simon .....the inspiration for the dry brushing technique ive used for the past 2 and a half years is all thanx to PANDATROOPER from his T-21 TUTORIAL!!!! Humbrol paint colours i use are.... Metallics- # 11-silver #53 - gunmetal # 56-Aluminium for the black rub over the metallics- #85- satin coal black for the base coat of the stock- #160-German Camouflage Red/Brown for the rub over layers on the stock - #33 - matt black hope that helps guys !

looks like you found one of those droids anyway Mike ! awesome stuff!
