All things jet, no props and Stik...no armor even though the M1 is turbin powered.

Beautiful work, Carlos! Truly. What is the stand you are using?

You're really nailing this one! The paint job came out great.
March as one, Don't look back
Odin's sons... Attack!
Unleash hell! Do not repent! Warfare grants us no lament
Let your weapons slash and tear This is no place for fear
Hold the lines! Move as one! In unity our victory's won
Our shields will form a mighty wall
United we shall never fall

Thanks guys, it’s going smoothly enough on this build as envisioned.

Bruce, that stand is a rebar foot for concrete work. A guy in my old IPMS chapter who worked in construction brought in a bunch of these things to hand out at one meeting. I just added some foam scraps and covered them with medical tape as padding to keep it from scratching the paint. Works great.

Todays update:

Walkways painted on with Humbrol Acrylic Dark Gull Gray. Hard to see here but I did do the marble type application. I also have removed masking from areas that will be decaled. I’m gonna let the paint dry overnight, then apply the Future gloss coat tomorrow...

:shocked: I’ll have to take your word for it!
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Thanks Lyle, it’s more subtle than the white or Light Gull Gray

I have a good idea oh how to make it more pronounced at the end...

Thanks Stuart... it took longer to measure and mask than it took to paint them... :whistle:
