I have made some progress on my tanks, with base coating progressing on three of them - need to finish basecoating the fourth so I can get to ink washes and dirtying them up a bit...
This is a picture of the lozenge balloon I bought from clipper1801 from Hunter's Collection right when it went on sale - it had a nifty 3D base enclosed that was roughly painted. I took some time today to do a little repainting and dry-brushing on it. It is a gorgeously sculpted piece that adds a lot to the overall look of the spectacular balloon that clipper decalled
All the best,
Matt
Wow that is some balloon paint job and that base is simply gorgeous!!
Thats a beautiful piece of work Matt. Rep incoming
Edit.......or not. Rep gun jammed Im afraid.
Run for your life - there are stupid people everywhere!
Just love the base. Beautiful!
I take no credit for the gorgeous balloon, folks! That is all Clipper's work from years back - I remembered seeing his tutorial several years ago and loved it, so when it 'came on the market' as part of Hunter's Collection, I gobbled it up right away... The base was a pleasant surprise which came as an extra in the bottom of the box, and I just did some basic repainting and dry-brushing - it's resin and ideal for that sort of treatment. I did reconfigure the balloon mount from a thin wire to the standard balloon pegs...it's all just too cool to keep stored away in a box in the closet.
All the best,
Matt
Oh my goodness, that is a stunning piece of work...
Never Knowingly Undergunned !!
Nice!!!!!
As always nice work Matt. The base was a good idea no matter who came up with it.
Pete I am working on some new jets. Taking my time putting the missiles on them.
Gorgeous balloon, and equally gorgeous base!
Great work, Clipper and Matt!
James "Far East" Machin started on Balloon bases, and some were to have been mine along with a "crashed" balloon model, in exchange for goods and services ...............
Unfortunately, James disappeared off the Forum following a job promotion, and nothing came of it.
I laugh in the face of danger - then I hide until it goes away!
Looking good Daniel.
