The fit of the 2 parts of the Aber Gun Barrel is very sloppy, you will need a small paper shim on the bottom of the hole where they mate to get everything even.


Now on to the paint shop.

I don't know what I did with this paint job, but it bothers my eyes to just look at it.

Finished here.

Had the same effect on me. Nevertheless it's very different and I really like it. What was the inspiration for it and how did you do it?

It does exactly what camo is meant to do.... Confuse the eye ...

And I really like it, it's very striking and looks good to me, well done on a great build Donald.

First a base coat of Tamiya Deep Green XF26 then using odd shaped pieces of natural sponge dab on Red Oxide , Flat Black & Flat white.
I wanted to do some colors that might be found in a destroyed city. Black for the soot & Burn marks, Red Oxide for the Brick work, & White for the Ashes.
It came out better than I thought it would.
Regards.
Donald
