LUIZ´s CTA2 - POMERANIA 1945-TRYING SPLINTER CAMO.

Hi all!

Now it´s time to go to my CTA2 project...and I did the paints that will be used on the Zeltbahn...at first , the references and then the acrylic paints were formulated...











See you soon!

Luiz.

Excellent I am looking forward to this


Luiz,...

Pratice this for the raindrops on an old model or piece of plastic that you have basecoated

Ive taken a fresh no 11 blade and carefully cut tiny marks in the paint then after wards Ive given a green wash and the paint sticks in the little cut marks giving you really good fine raindrops and if they dont come out too well then you have a good mark to paint in

Like I say its a scary procedure but works good


I am also going to say this too,.. FJ / Luftwaffe splinter and Army splinter patterns are different just making sure that youre aware of this.

You're a braver man that me.

I used scrap PE as a mask and lightly sprayed the rain marks. If you want take a look:

I agree with MP .... on the netting I liked it at 1st but the way the leather strap runs on the other helmet is Very Interesting .... Excellent Job on this one .... Luiz

Ok Luiz ..... I have a solution Get some of those Rare earth Magnets and observing polarity you can be able to use either head using the magnet to hold His head On ..... this is what I do with my Games workshop soldier's

See the little magnet in His socket joint ???

These Magnets are made by Magcraft ...... Neodymium-Iron-Boron Rare earth magnets ..... 1.6mm Dia X 0.8mm lenth .... (Smallest)

Tough choice indeed. :idonno Personally, I would go with the netting and try to add some weeds or twigs to it.
