I’ve had the HO-229 model you built for me hanging up in my study/man cave for years now... It is still in great shape and looks impressive :D

I received this Panzer IV with damage .
The collecter said he wanted a 21st stock looking Wirbelwind back in 2011.

I think it turned out well one of my first custom paint jobs.
Matching is not easy.

This is the biggest, most expensive ( considering the time spent , the cheapest 6 months ), longest lasting and most frustrating consignment to date

The Mississippi River Boat M/V Jesse D. Pasentine rendered in 1/48 scale .

It is 36 L x 21 T and is 99.9999 % scratch built.

Nice job on the Jesse P Matthew, in fact its amazing!!

I like the Sd Kfz 251/23 half-track, strangely familiar. :)
It definitely has a cool look to it and the camo scheme came out great.

Here is a new consignment .
I used 1/16th decals which are too big.
I had to wiggle it around the Cobra King.
I have since had 1/18th stencils made.

Hey Danny,

I used Mig's OD ( olive drab ) paint kit and I pre-shaded with black first.
I like using his paints and they go down well.
But the finish is semi gloss and I m not a fan of that.
It works good for decal installation but it seems to me it is hard to dull it.
For some reason using either Tamaya or Testers dull coat does not bring it down.
So I have to rely on a wash to do this.
I was looking for a darker shade so that is why I went with Mig.
If I want a lighter shade I use AK's OD kit.

Awesome thank's for the reply Mig's OD definitely looks more like what I am looking for in my Besotten Jenny project
