Do we have a Star League formation coming on?

Excellent work!

I like that olive drab you created. What colors did you use for it?

Looks like she cleaned-up real crisp like. How was it removing the mold lines, and repairing detail, etc?

Been working on one for a very long time. Just finished part and will post it soon, ironically the Beemer is not in that part.:)

I use Delta Ceramcoat's Dark Forest Green as the undercoat, with Timberline Green(same brand) drybrushed over it.

Very little work needed at all. A bit of flash off the SRM box, and that's it. Others from the box need a bit more work, but overall they're extremely good in that regard.

Was yours leaning back at all?
Mine looks like it's leaning back (either it just took a hit, or it's avoiding fire).
If so, how did you fix that?

Liking the painting work - good highlights!
Courage and Honour!

I didn't have any issues like that. To fix yours, my advice would be to dip it in boiling water for about 30 seconds. Pull it out, and as soon as it's safe to handle, bend it back into the proper position(or a hair farther). As soon as you've got that, dunk the Beemer in ice water. To show the bend that you mean business, stick said water in the freezer overnight, then allow it to thaw normally.

Note: Use a flexible or disposable container for this. A ceramic, glass, or rigid plastic cup WILL be destroyed by the freezing process.
