Thanks Alex...

I finally found some time to work on this. I wish I had more. The last few weeks have been cuckoo around here.

On to the next part of the weathering... Pigments...!

Today it's a bit more pigments and installing the tracks.

Looking good buddy, can't wait to see it all snowed up on the dio

Coen · Post by **Coen** » Tue Aug 06, 2013 9:37 pm

Very soon I hope. Maybe by the weekend.

Amazing work dude. Really like the identification numbers

Coen · Post by **Coen** » Tue Aug 06, 2013 11:12 pm

I was hoping that they would come out better. But it was an experiment to begin with so I didn't expect much.
Thanks though, I'm glad that you like it.

Glad to see the pics, as I haven't been able to catch up with the videos yet. It looks really nice, great paint job.

Coen · Post by **Coen** » Wed Aug 07, 2013 3:13 am

Well... sneak preview... she's one the diorama and it snowed.
Just waiting for it to dry and I'll be putting some mud on.

Here she is so far.

Coen, spoiler alert!!!!

Coen · Post by **Coen** » Wed Aug 07, 2013 4:37 am

Haha.... Ya a little bit. The videos are up loading now. A four parter. This modeller's tired and off to bed now so hopefully the upload works out.

If not. You been spoiled haha

Coen · Post by **Coen** » Wed Aug 07, 2013 11:16 am

So here's the video of how all that happened.
I'm pooped so I doubt that I'll get much more done today... maybe tonight.
I'd like to get it done now so I can start working on one of the other projects on my bench.

awesome mate

Coen · Post by **Coen** » Sat Aug 10, 2013 1:03 am

Thanks Dudes.
I'm going to try to finish it this weekend.
We'll see if I'm successful. I had to go pick up some more pastel chalks as I ran out of the colour that I wanted to use to make the mud.
All fixed up now. The store doesn't carry what I normally use so I had to make do with something new and a couple of bucks more expensive than I normally pay.
I think that it'll do though.

Coen · Post by **Coen** » Sat Aug 10, 2013 12:09 pm

She's all finished, aside from the box frame that I'm going to try to build today.

I'm uploading video now, but here's the latest pictures.

And one last one just to show how big this silly thing is.

I'm hoping that once I get the frame built and painted I'll be able to take her outside and get some daytime shots of her. The light won't be quite right... Summer as opposed to winter.
But I'm not taking my work outside in the winter. Call me weird.

T3hGuppy · Post by **T3hGuppy** » Sat Aug 10, 2013 1:08 pm

Phenomenal work dude!!

Fantastic job on this one.

And a great build thread too you videos were really useful and interesting

Keep it up

McLeod · Post by **McLeod** » Sat Aug 10, 2013 1:15 pm

A round of pictures after the display base is attached and she takes a stroll outside in the sun.

Oh... and here's the last video of her.

Awesome job buddy, looks much better,in natural light, I think I'll have to get some shots of the KT out side when it's done.

Great job and the dio base really sets it of
