The parts:
It is all 1970's Airfix so there is flash on each part and test fitting is very necessary. But after an hour I got this far:
1/72 Jungle Outpost

I finally got started on my 1/72 jungle outpost.

Re: 1/72 Jungle Outpost
Airfix? I remember them doing a 1/32 version of this hooch.

Re: 1/72 Jungle Outpost
My first thought was to make it a quick brush paint. But then I thought that it would compare badly to the other models. So I will use the black base technique with a brown/ greyish final color. Al the hutches I have seen in the tropics turned grey into no time because of the sun.KSaarni wrote:Nice stuff Borg & very curious to see how you will paint it!

Hmm. Where do the wings go?
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!"..

That's looking really good borg!

Re: 1/72 Jungle Outpost
Thanks, I am trying to make each element of my diorama as a stand alone model. At first I wanted to do a quick brush paint on this outpost. But then I realised this would probably look bad next to the airbrushed truck and plane. So, no shortcuts, this hutch is getting the full treatment.portman wrote:That's looking really good borg!
