bashace Posted October 28, 2018 Author Share Posted October 28, 2018 Putting down the camo, guess I need to work on being more "spotty" with the black base camo technique. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bashace Posted October 31, 2018 Author Share Posted October 31, 2018 Was having issues with the two greens in my AK Vietnam SEA set, so I switched to the Hataka Lacquer Vietnam SEA set, also just went for it and shot freehand, got fed up with my templates. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bashace Posted December 12, 2018 Author Share Posted December 12, 2018 Progress has been slow but moving, she's finally standing on her own legs! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bashace Posted December 12, 2018 Author Share Posted December 12, 2018 Oh yeah, the 1979 kit decals were a royal PITA! but I got them to go down after cleaning all the disintegrating backing paper off the decal in the water. And thank the model gods for Solvaset Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kurt H. Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 It sure looks nice in those colors. On some level, I kind of like those old Monogram decals, they are still quite usable after 40 years. The only problem is if they are out of register. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spectre711 Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Nice job! I have a few of these also and was wondering if nose weight is needed? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
