Machine Gun the Funk
After a loooong period of hobby funk, I decided it was time to get back on the horse and do some work on the project. I fancied some painting so grabbed the MG42 team that came in the box. I also found another one I had lying in a drawer so decided to paint them up together. Cause what’s better than a MG42? TWO MG42s!
One of them had already been built and primed in AP Uniform Grey. However I must have been tired or drunk (or quite possibly both!) when I built it cause the ammo belt seems to be being fed into the gun sight and the front of the tripod was glued on back-to-front! Ah well – noone will notice that will they!!
With the 2nd team I decided to try a bit of pre-shading to see what difference it might make, so I airbrushed it in Vallejo black primer then gave it a bit of a zenith with Light Grey and then a White Grey.
I also decided to add grit to the base right from the start which is something I never do – I usually don’t touch the base till right at the end. Just thought I’d try it this way to see if I prefer this method.
Primed and Gritted.
