groo12 Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 (edited) Whoo hoo! I have finished my first model. After being stripped a couple of times, running out of paint and having to wait, it is finished and i am fairly happy with it. This is my first attempt at airbrushing, bare metal foil and building a styrene model in general. C & C welcome. Started a Photobucket account today, so I can easily share pics.

groo12 Posted December 28, 2011 Author Share Posted December 28, 2011 (edited) Thank you. It's my first finished, I have 4 others on the go. I got the paints I was waiting on yesterday, so I can look at finishing some of these as well. I am not new to modelling, I have painted miniatures and made scenery for years. I have made lots of paper models of various things, but decided this year to get into car models, purchasing an airbrush, and various supplies as well as a few kits on our holiday in September/October. I learnt so much working on them, including BMF is fun! They have all been stripped at least once. as I am working out how to airbrush and have a much better handle on it now. The whole paint thinning/pressure/distance from model is coming together and can only improve:-) What I want to do is have a go at weathering, but thought I should be able to build straight from the box first, so my first few will be done that way.

Sixties Sam Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 First model? Incredible job! Great color scheme. Is that real wood on the stakes? Nice job! Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groo12 Posted December 29, 2011 Author Share Posted December 29, 2011 (edited) The wood is done with Citadel colours and washes, great easy effects. I copied the colour scheme from the box, just looked cool. Edited December 29, 2011 by groo12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geetee66 Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 You nailed it mate! Obviously you have a talent for this. I guess I speak for all of us here when I say we hope to see more of your builds. BMF is strangely rewarding, isn't it? Looks like you got the hang of it already. Nice one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
