Another one started a while back and hit by loss of mojo... On the back of my earlier"success" with the Leo, another Lebanese flavoured delight for you all. This thing has way too much wrong with it to try and put right, so I decided from the outset to build it as a wreck. Fenders removed and replaced with copper sheet from some garden centre plant tags!. promptly mangled. Brush-guards fashioned from some wire and also bent outta shape. Halfords finest grey followed by Vallejo rot braun primer.   Need to go and tear some lumps out of the wheels now. |

Cheers my fellow warriors of styrene👍
Going to aim for a multiple worn layer finish on this :
Russian Green, IDF Sand-Gray,and SLA Blue-Gray. Should be fun trying to get that sorted.
Tonights plan is for the first bit of green and associated wear.

First random application of Russian Green base coat. Keeping the hairspray for later coats so I need this one to stay put. Going to give it a few hours before hitting it with a varnish coat to seal it. Hivesme some more time to play with the wheels and idea for a base.  |

Couldnt find the HS so pl. B: various LC Tensocrom Rust tones then followed that up with some of the burnt olive and burnt umber liquid pigments. Turned out ok. Finally, a couple of misted coats of VMA Early IDF Saini Gray. A little teaser;  |
