Hi everyone this is a draft for my next project. I really wanted to build the Merc and I am still working on the set up for the final little scene. The figures are Tamiya, with a hornet head, and a bashed Miniart civilian.
I have never done gloss finishes, chrome, and lots of glass before so this will be a bit of a challenge





Still lots to do here.

Mr T Nem. Jase Glad to have you along.

I have finished the car ready to be added to the dio and weathered just a little. I'll move on to the figures and building ther base now. This Miniart kit is very nice but extremely fiddly, both in the construction and in trying to plan the painting sequence. This was also my first experience with Alclad chrome. I think I need a bit more practice to get a better finish, especially on the tiny little parts.







More to come.
