... after a 'hot' forum discussion day.

I finally uploaded the pics of some of my works in my gallery. Many thanks to Buck who took the pics to the point his camera battery drained.

Criticisms are welcome, good and/or bad. Break it to me gently ladies. :-)




P.S. Still figurin' out how to post pics on this thread to save you from opening pa the gallery.

None. The ammo bins (on the turret), the thingy on the barrel (forgot what its called), are made from cement tubes' lead, thats why after I buy kits from academy I empty the cement to another bottle and flatten the lead tubes. Gread for scratch building. The usual copper wires for tie downs. Some sprues for the orange ilaw (I forgot also). Some styrene strips and soda cans for the blasted fender. The burned effect are applied using black chalk pastel powder mixed with some enamel thinner.

Hi Lipton,

Another Model Master in the making!! Great mods on your Brad!! Some more weathering and stowage on it and it will definitely look lived-in.

Keep on doing the fine work, my man!!

I'll do that sir Wanze. Kaso talagang medyo tamad ako mag paint ng stowage eh he he :-)
Next time, promise ko po, as I'm planning to model the M2A2 ODS naman.

Check this out:



Ganda! It was a pleasure taking the pics. Sayang di fully charged batteries ko. We couldve taken more pics of the Sabre.

For the other guys, Ill be happy to take pics of your work. For now medyo limited memory stick ko so if there are several models, we'll have to schedule the shoot.

Very impressive indeed Lipton. I like the battle damage you did on your Bradley. I think they call it the Hoffman's device( the thing on the barrel). It's part of the MILES gear they use when they do exercises/manuevers.

Lipton: Nice build, one thing I noticed (just nitpicking) is the battle damage, it could have been more realistic it some of the black paint escalated to the upper hull part. Maybe you could also damage a small portion of the hull as if metal fragments hit it (probably some scratches)...Just my opinion...overall very good

@Blitz
The Sabre is an Academy 1:48 kit, the one with a black cat and a running duck as nose-art (sorry dont know much about A/C since this is my first venture into planes). Yes, this will be part of a dio with a Humvee. It will be titled 'OOOPS!!'. Get the idea. :-)

@Buck
What's that? Can't see the pic. Next time yung in-progress naman ng T55A --> Enigma conversion ko. Abuso na ba... he he he

@Cardinal
YES! That's it. The Hoffman/MILES device. I remember now. Buck told me this when I first brought the Bradley in one of the club's meeting, kaso I keep forgetting eh. Thanks for refreshing my memory Sir.

Thanks Fritz. By the way how do I add a pic on my sig?

1)First you have to make your banner in Photoshop or some other application.
2)Upload the banner on a photo gallery (like the armorama photo gallery).
3)Go to the "my account" link on the upper right corner of the armorama site and click on the "Change Password and/or Your Settings" link.
4)Go down the page until you see the User signature box & then just type in the image address of the banner using the tags .
5)Save changes (duh!!! )

P.S. I forgot though if the tag should be BB code or html. Just ask anyone to confirm.

Yes Warthog, noted. Napansin ko din yan, kaso na-paint na nung maalala ko he he he. Don't worry, next time I'll remember.

@blitz
I think I have that one already, the one with the measurements for the armor blocks, tama ba? It's the one I'm using as reference for my T55 conversion, kino-convert ko in 1:35th yung actual measurements nya.

If you have interior photos/reference for the T55 enigma, it will be of great help to me since I'm planning to replicate a blasted turret in a diorama.
