The sandbags. Learnt from my Daihatsu build that these definitely need some texture. So a bit of old glue, a bit of old sponge and this should work.

Nice start and great looking figures, I do hope they are going to be stopping something interesting?

Due to the angle of the picture, I thought the middle dude looks drunk and is praying to the sun god Ra

Thanks guys. Here is the latest. Painting the sentry box is taking its time, as you can see.

The barrier looks good Tommy . If you prime the area you wish to paint red, with white first, the red will cover better .

I agree with the white idea....it`ll also seal the edge of the tape, Red can be a notorious creeper for finding a gap under the tape, also it takes a lot more paint to lighten a darker colour than it does to darken a lighter one

This is harder than I thought. Because of the wood grain and joint lines between the planks the paint just runs. Also the masking is just a pain in the bum. Will have to think about this one. I could do just black and white, maybe!

Yeah it`s certainly tricky over a grained surface fella, if it was me i wouldn`t worry about getting it to perfect just yet......just concentrate on getting the blocking in done on a colour one at a time, if i do get a little bit of bleed thru i just get a thin bit of plasticard and use that as a shield and simply blow the affected colour back in at a low pressure and a small needle....any really minor discrepencies will disapper with the weathering stage.....even what you have can be worked with, stick with it fella, patience is a virtue so the say

Thanks Boots. I have sprayed the box all white and will try masking again. Here is the latest on the figures with a sprayed highlight and shadows.

I can't say this enough. Don'zt forget to go over the masking tape edges with white or matt. This will seal the tape and stop the bleeding of the coming colour. Dudes are looking good
