Great CASTING!

As for the splinter.. please add the fine dark green lines and maybe a green wash... but other then the lack of lines those are outstanding!

yeah i tried the green lines and they didn't turn out so i went on w/o them. i had to seal the paint on w/ modpodge b/c it kept getting rubbed off, not sure if i can add gren lines w/ the sealer on there. thats also why they are a bit shiny which i don't like either. maybe if i were to seal only the base coat...

MEDIUM, your fj's look great. i want to thank you again for the molds you gave me. I have produced 2 fully articulated tankers and 3 fully articulated fj's. I can't wait to show em to you. As far as the splinter lines go, an easy solution is to go to hobby lobby or somewhere and purchase a hunter green micron pen preferably .5 or smaller. Very good results from these microns and they dont rub off.

Thanks for the comments everyone! hey PH great kit man thanks. it was easy enough to put together, it took me awhile to get it sanded and painted and i still have some touch up and stuff. I'm wondering if i should add some decals... if they fit? and it needs some weathering... ahhh painting takes me forever sometimes

Pickelhaube (guy with pointy helmet wearing ducks) is the man that has made these great kits.

Mediump,

Why do you have your kick stand down ?

Does the rig want to move or flip over ?

yeah oops... the only reason it was down was because I had just finished gluing it together the night before and forgot about it, it stands up fine w/o it, no sag

Thanks PH
