Hi ya, I thought I’d try to add a bit more flavour in the form of camo netting.

Now there are products available on the market, but I thought I’d do my own. I’m combining two methods that I have come across, one was using crepe bandage and the other is using mask templates.

I have base coloured the bandage using Vallejo acrylic colours and then I’m going to combine a hand made template using an airbrush + free hand to do the rest of the pattern.

Next posting, I’ll show the results.

Till then, thanks for watching!

Well, I’m not too displeased with the results, now can I apply it is the question?

Till the next update.

Thanks for watching!

Hi there all!

The idea for the camo was great, but the crepe bandage used was too heavy to apply, so I had to scrap that idea. Not a train smash, but we have to move on an not dwell on it, lesson learnt.

Well, the build is now officially completed and I put it into the build competition along with my mates from Horsham Modellers Club at the North Surrey Model Show in Banstead. Our first model show for the year. The club as a whole did very well, I managed a Silver in the Sci-Fi division and edged out by a Machinen-Krieger build.

Here is a nice pic of it in the window, I call it “overwatch”.
