Gremlin56 Posted April 10, 2017 Author Share Posted April 10, 2017 Hi Keith, it's like a madhouse here, I try to keep it on the rails but things seem to go haywire for no reason at all 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gremlin56 Posted April 12, 2017 Author Share Posted April 12, 2017 12/4 update. Have been picking out the details in different shades of sand colors to break up the monotone appearance and to make the details pop. Looks rather weird at the moment but camo, washes and weathering should pull it all together (said he with a great show of confidence but under cover with thinly disguised trepidation and shaking knees). 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first AK flask of sand is already empty (have 3 left though, planned my supplies and stock well before hand). I have been having fun doing dreadful things to the Panzer Putty and then putting it back in the tin to see what happens, like yesterday I folded it over several times and put it back and now this evening it is blowing bubbles. It's more like a pet than an airbrushing accessory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gremlin56 Posted April 14, 2017 Author Share Posted April 14, 2017 14/4 update, Ambush camouflage Phase 1. After 5 hours of using Panzer putty and three rolls of masking tape phase 1 of the ambush camo is complete: After a clean up and touch up phases 2 and 3 will follow. Panzer putty is the best thing since sliced bread, I'll be ordering more tins though because I ran out about three quarters of the way through spraying and masking 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spookytooth Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 I am not surprised Gremlin, you need to get the industrial sizes or something that big. She is looking great, cannot wait to see stage 2 and 3. Simon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gremlin56 Posted April 16, 2017 Author Share Posted April 16, 2017 Hi Francis, thanks you ! looks better now the three base colors are on doesn't it?. 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullbasket Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 I know SFA about German armour, but I do know that that looks good. BTW. I don't know what fertiliser you have in those containers, but that's a lovely crop of paint brushes that you have growing there. John. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have trouble not buying hairy sticks and I tend to go through a lot of them (you can never have enough hairy sticks ). 21 minutes ago, Spookytooth said: Nice work Gremlin, the spots are rapidly spreading.
