This is my second attempt at a marsh/water camo. Looking at it now, I should have applied the red-brown more sparsly. It looks more like Italian cammo, in the pics, than the marsh it was suposed to be. LMK what you think.
No, I think it looks great, if anything, maybe use some MIG powder light earth or dust to dull it a bit...very nice work

SA Panzer Ace Tutorial
Posted: Sat Aug 15, 2009 3:45 pm
by Fritzkrieg
I put together a little tutorial for my SA Panzer Ace. Hope you guys find it useful.
Step 1
Assemble your fodder figs
Step2
Dismember your figures using know methods (boil and Pop etc.)
Step 3
Remove the legs from your static Panzer Ace's lower torso. I use wire cutters for this.
Step 4
Hollow out the lower pelvis/torso area of your static Ace. You want it to be supper thin, so it is flexible. Use a grinding bit with your dremel, as shown. I also recommend splitting the bottom of the tunic, up to the button, for greater flexibility.
Step 5
Time to trim down those fatty hips. I use the same grinding bit to narrow the hip/pelvis area on Mutt's legs. This allows the Ace's tunic to fit over Mutt's pelvis.
Step 6
With a router bit make the hole at the bottom of the Ace's torso big enough to accomidate the plug for Mutt's legs.
Step 7
Using a grinding bit create, shoulder sockets in the Ace's torso.
Step 8
With a small router, bit deepen the Plug holes, in the Ace's torso. Don't worry, if you punch all the way through to the other socket. It'll work just fine.
Step 9
Using small rubber tubeing, create gaskets that fit over the pegs on Mutt's arms. The Tubeing I use, is from a small squirt gun.
Step 10
Using Boil and pop method, assemble the Legs arms and torso, before final step. This way you can see if you need to make any further adjustments.
Step 11
Paint or as I prefer Dye, the legs, black, and accessorize.

Those 101st guys wrecked your newly painted Kubelwagen!
The dark haired 101st guy looks like Sgt George Luz from Band of Brothers.
I really like what you did. Very cool.
