Thanks Laura, let's proceed to the painting stage: No matter what I do, I always prime it to get a good base for the paint to follow. Then the whole model received a black base coat from Tamiya Next the desert camo was applied in a few misting coats, letting the black shine through, giving...

Hello everybody, actually I am quite busy these days, with all kind of modelling related projects, but since I can't resist blondes, I stick to my promise to join the braille-scale-party here. My choice of subject is somewhat odd compared to what I am normally interested in, but hey... will be...

Thanks Terry ! Ok.... this will be the last update, as I call this done. I made a little scene for it using parts of a brickwall set from the German company "Scale Fanatic". Thanks for looking Cheers Sven

Re:1/48 "Hetzer" Late Hello again, thanks for your kind words. The Hetzer is about done and I am now working on the base. But here are some new pics: Matt, the raw steel effect can be achieved with a sponge and acrylic paints beeing applied "wet in wet". It only takes 10 minutes. No...

Re:1/48 "Hetzer" Late Hello again, here's another quick update of what it did to the poor Hetzer. The painjob is based on a picture from a Hetzer at the Skoda works in May 1945. I am halfway done with the weathering, but as you can see there are some areas with only basic painting yet. Thanks...

Hello ! Here's a quick sbs on the hairspray technique. ------------------------------------ Hope this helps Sven First we apply the base color. In this case I used Model Air Colour, but any other paint will be a good base for the hairspray technique. Next we apply a...

excellente pintura amigo ! That's just top drawer stuff man. Thanks for sharing. Great work, as usual un abrazo Sven

Don't worry....just ask :cheer: 10 minutes drying time for each is enough. The good news is, that you can even remove the white wash a few days later, so there is no need to hurry. Also: Warm water can ease the solving process of the hairspray. Let me know if there is anything else I can...

Ah ! Good points ! 1.) If you give the base coat ample time to dry, you will be fine, BUT 2.) yes, I would recommend a clear coat (Tamiya X-22 and a drop of X-21 for example), before moving on with the weathering. Have fun and let me know when I can be of assistance Sven

Thanks everybody ! This one was a nice change indeed ! Shawn, the leaves are from Plus Models. A bit pricey if you ask me, but here they add a little interest and contribute to the moist atmosphere. Cheers Sven

No problem with moving the pictures from my side. I will add some comments to the pictures shortly. Thanks ! Sven

Hello ! Here's a quick sbs on the hairspray technique. Hope this helps Sven First we apply the base color. In this case I used Model Air Colour, but any other paint will be a good base for the hairspray technique. Next we apply a thin, but even layer of hairspray. Some modellers apply the...
