Gremlin56 Posted April 16, 2017 Author Share Posted April 16, 2017 16/4 update. First off for Francis, the spotifiers: These are cheap and cheery tools from www.banggood.com in China, think a set of very small nail brushes with one of these included cost about three Euros. I ordered two sets because the brushes come in handy at times.. An additional bonus with these tools is that the spot/dots are rather uniform in size. The main gun-barrel has it's camo coat, the fighting compartment roof is now sprayed on the inside. Nearing the point that the serious weathering can begin. Now Grand Prix time 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The spots, ah that was very easy. I bought two nail decorating sets of small fine paintbrushes. The sets also included small metal tools to make flower like shapes on fingernails. You can of course also make spots very easily. I'll post some photos today. Thanks for the info, I'm tempted to do an ambush sometime, but when I would have to do it, I do not dare, thinking that I'm going to ruin all the work, which is already at an advanced stage and "to my taste", I try with AB, but I have not got them to come out the same or "well, simply", maybe it's because my AB is a cheap AB-300, or I'm not yet able to master it ....

Now Grand Prix time Thanks again for the info, and an image "worth more than a thousand words", I have to get something like these, the only doubt, is, the edges of the spots were defined, or on the contrary, diffuse (as with AB)? ?. Interesting race!!!... Cheers Julian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Already got those, along with a little white plastic helmet and an inflatable life jacket for when I venture into "hazardous areas" , that along with a fluorescent yellow coat with the name of the company I work for on it. Luckily I don't wear them very much leaving the hazardous areas to younger and fitter guys and girls nowadays 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beefy66 Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 The build up of the layers is looking good Julian Must admit I thought the base yellow was bright but as you said before the washes will bring it all together and it is The outside of Judy is starting to look just as good as the inside even better with a great big dirty rear end Beefy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If after weathering it is still too light you can always use a desert sand filter too darken it some more. Cheers mate ! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I found this out when doing the LWS build when I thought I was going for an easy option ended up having to go back and lighten the shades with white and pale yellow washes to give it a dusty effect but still learned from the experience thanks to some helpful advice Beefy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's looking first class. John. A very tardy answer to all the reactions to Judy's build due to a short visit to the south of Holland with Mrs. Gremlin56. Took time out to visit the Winged Liberators museum near Best while I was there.
