Well its been swell,the Bison is finished.Granted it slammed into the sign post,So Oberleutnant Zod has to get out to find which way to go.The crew has abandonned the vehicle,to search for Helga,their missing mascot.










See I dood it!

I was thinking about doing a gernan dio, something like this one. How hard was it to get the gun into place?

It looks like it would be hard has hell. I like how it was painted, was it hand painted or airbrushed.I have been toying with hand painting because it's a pain to clean a airbrush each time after using it.

The dio looks interesting the fig looks complexed on what to do it's great.You gona add any other fig to it then it would look like a usa road county job where it takes 5-8 men to do a 1 man job.

The detail is nice, the pic's came out very nice and showed alot extra detail.Thank YOU for the dio.

Happy Modeling

Zod,since this took place during WW2,It was your grandfather that was depicted there!
Tom,use an airbrush,don't be afraid.The kit gun fits into an opening in the rear bulkhead on the kit.As for placing the vehicle on the dio,I just plopped it into place,its no glued down.Only the broken signpost is glued.
The kit was given a base coat of Model Master Afrika Braun.then I gave a very light buff over spray to simulate normal dust.I picked out with a small brush and Panzergrey on various surfaces to simulate the outer coat of paint wearing off from the harsh enviornment!

Agreed Lord Kenworth!!!! It appears Lord Karl has "forgotten" some of his chat room buds - hehe

Looks good Carl, and of course I am just kidding.
