petebuilt Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 (edited) Here's a pic of my recently completed 1/32 A/S32A-31A aircraft towing tractor from Special Ops Models. (Kit# MNFDT-3201) I had one shot left in the camera, and a break in the rain today when the sun was out for a brief moment. Everything went together flawlessly. I sprayed it with Krylon White Primer. Future was applied as a gloss base for the decals. Next, a wash with diluted black oil paint and dry brushed with light gray enamel. Finally, I topped it off with Testors Dullcote. Chipped paint was done by brush with silver and black enamel paints. The green shirt dude is an altered figure from an Academy F/A-18 kit.

arkhunter2002 Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 Nice! Is the surface of the tractor molded like that or did you do something to it? I take it you shoot with a film SLR? Take care, Austin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
petebuilt Posted May 23, 2010 Author Share Posted May 23, 2010 Hey Austin, Yeah, the top surface molded with a texture on it. Very nice touch by Andy. You're correct, I am an old school SLR film dude for now. I'm still looking at DSLR's and saving my soda cans. (Kid in collage, you know how that goes I'm sure) Thanks, Pete Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Liberator24 Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 (edited) You got some talent in painting figures, my friend. One day I am gonna HAVE to try to get some paint on my Academy ones from the -18 kit! I do love the skittles on the decks.... Tractor came out great as well. Great job all around! -Jim Edited May 23, 2010 by Liberator24 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andy Meyers Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 Fantastic paint job....came out really good! Also like the figure you put by the Tractor too. All you need now is a jet... I put the tractor on E-Bay....It's the same price: http://cgi.ebay.com/1-32-Modern-Flight-Dec...=item19bc446196 Cheers, Andy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
petebuilt Posted May 23, 2010 Author Share Posted May 23, 2010 Thanks fellas' Glad y'all like it. Jim, I might paint my figures, but I'm no figure painter. I pretty much just throw on some color, wash and highlight. Andy, I've got the jet. I just have to get it (F-14D Tamiya conversion) finished. Got to make some chocks, tow bar, and get some of those chains and ratchets from Pitz Models. Thanks again, Pete Quote Link to post Share on other sites
