Rodders Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Hi Francis, Everything looks very good, well done so far. I've just started the Revell one myself and never even thought about using mr surfacer on the turret, never even done it before. so i was going to try it. Is there anything difficult in doing this. Also, i've never ever done anything after ww2. Which one are you doing as the Revell one doesn't have German equipment in it apparently. Brilliant job so far, cheers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, i've never ever done anything after ww2. Which one are you doing as the Revell one doesn't have German equipment in it apparently. Brilliant job so far, cheers. Well I confess this is the first time I use it ... I have applied with a brush, if possible stiff bristle, as the MR.S500, dry very, very soon (at least happened to me, maybe it's guilt the heat also makes now ... lol ), you have to be prepared solvent,you'll need soon, as there is a time when you can not keep up with the brush. Be careful to dry the solvent and not continue to apply with because Mr.S not "grab" the plastic. It seems that other fellow forum do with the airbrush ... but not as possible (you would have to throw the AB ... lol ). If anyone reading this, perhaps you could offer more help. When dry, use a fine grit sandpaper, to match your taste ... My idea is to make the American model. Italeri offered, but there is also a version of the German Army. Thx for your like and kind comment, and get lucky with your model, i'll like a lot watch it, cheers mate Edited June 30, 2016 by FrancisGL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrancisGL Posted July 5, 2016 Author Share Posted July 5, 2016 (edited) Update 7 Hi Pals, a new update for sharing with all, this time I started with weathering, proving a little that seems more appropriate, I'll try something with pigments + solvent to see what result I get, because at the moment I have no oils, for dust effects between chinks. A dry well and expect to continue ... Thx for watch and comment, cheers to all           Edited July 1, 2017 by FrancisGL 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt.Squarehead Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Looking good.....I really like the faded base colour, plenty of room for weathering. Strongly recommend investing in a selection of decent quality oil paints, they are another one of those things like Klear or PPP.....Nothing else does the same job quite so well with quite so little fuss. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gremlin56 Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Nice work Francis and the effect is very good considering your using pigment and thinners. I agree with Andy though, you will be amazed at the difference oils make. Keep up the good work though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thx for your like and kind comment, you're right I have some colors, but as always, none seems to serve what I look for. Anyway I've never used oils for this, so I have some fear the result ... although I think it's something "almost" indispensable. True, there are plenty of room for "pranks" I'm almost certain that the M-47 was not in Korea by little, but I still think he'll be "something" dirty.. lol Cheers Sgt.
