Small Scale Military Headquarters

This is my example of a Sherman dozer using pickelhaubes Dozer and wading trunks, its still a work in progress, but I thought I would share and maybe get some ideas on finishing it, input is welcome, thanks.

That looks great.

But I not crazy about the mud. Your weathering looks real.

Nothing against your work you did a great job.

Looks great. The mud looks good but I think it looks too yellow or light in color. Beats the heck out of anything I could do. Keep it up.

hit the mud with some pigments and it will look great!
PM me if you want some help with pigments.

well Pigment shopping

Thanks for the input, I have got alot of advice, as soon as it looks alittle better, I'll post some more pictures.

Great job. I like the mud..looks like wet sand from the beaches that stuck to the dozer and tank.

Thanks for the comments, I have some insider help on making it better, I really like to build models, but my over all skills suck, as far as building things, no problem, been a mechanic most my life, I just don't have the skill to make these things look real like some of these guys can.

Dude it looks great . Don't sweat it.

Thanks pickelhaube, It just sucks that you spend so much time making these things and very few guys show their work, me, I know I suck, so what do I have to lose

I'm getting some advice, so maybe it will get better

If I could afford his stuff. Not saying it should be cheap because I understand the work.

RC has taken priority. I may start selling of my 1/18. Have to think about it.



YOur skill dose not suck. THe olive drab looks fantastic!

Thanks flyboy, I'm trying some of your suggestions, ( this is the part I must mention that any outside help must not reflect on the contributor ), thanks for all the input, I am working on it, but now I think I'm getting to critical

Always learning.
I hope it works out. Even I'm not very good at modeling. But it makes me happy.

Awesome work! I love the mud effect

The weathering looks awesome , The mud to me looks like peanut butter. Its still cool.

Well, I've been working on it, still not quite done, thanks for all the suggestions and please feel free voice your opinion, let me know if this is getting better













Sorry about the pictures, I can't seem to get them to come out very good.

Fantastic! I LOVE THAT DOZER!

The mud looks much better like it has dimension! Great work!

Thanks for the comments, have'nt had a chance to work on it lately ( had to go back to work )

thats a nice tank Ram.

That's really cool Ram, and I think it was even cool (like others said, it kind of looked like sand before, like it was clearing Omaha Beach on D-Day) before. the updated paint looks great too though, more mud than sand. Very neat.

If you're curious about photography, I'd suggest picking up some foam board and making a backer for you to take pics against, and then just set up a lamp or two focused on the item you're photographing against the foamcore "light box". It helps reflect the light around so it's illuminated better. Just a tip if you're interested in taking pictures more often and want some brighter results. Your pics are more than adequate though so don't worry about them. They give good deal of detail already.
