'Knock and Talk' by Steve Zuleski

DRMM is honored by the oppourtunity to present 'Knock and Talk', 10th Mountain Division, Afghanistan by Steve Zuleski.

The 120mm scene is set using figures by Deyun, with some tweaks and modifications. They are painted mostly with Windsor oils and Tamiya XF-60 acrylic as a flesh tone base. The vignette and base are 100% scratch-built.

I want to thank "Ski" for allowing me to blog this incredible, and inspirational work of art on DRMM. For a complete and incredibly comprehesive build/painting log of this vignette, visit http://www.track-link.net/forum/modelling_figures/4549

Thanks "Ski"! - KG

The completed model above. The tarp resting on the toolbox was created using Magic Sculpt. Various weld beads were scratch built using styrene, Tamiya cement, and an X-Acto blade.

The painting and weathering process documented below began with a coat of Tamiya Nato Green, then lightened with a second coat that included Tamiya Yellow Green.

A bed roll made of tissue paper was added, along with cleat straps crafted from the tin tops of cat food containers. The model was given a good flat coat before the weathering started.

Chipping was done using Vallejo acrylics.

The tank was weathered in stages with various combinations of Windsor & Newton oils, MIG oils, and MIG pigments.
