I wonder if I can do some of the wear by scraping and sanding. I may give that a try before resorting to painting on the wear (I forgot to save some of the base grey/white for touch-ups and chipping)
-
Seems like lots of scorch marks. I'll try using black pigment and see how it works.
-
Thanks. I mixed a bit of sky grey into flat white. I looked for a Tamiya paint but couldn't find the right colour without mixing. It still may be a bit dark.

I sprayed a base coat of greyish white Tamiya paint and then masked the heck out of it to paint the red stripes using Vallejo. It worked out better than I hoped with crisp edges. There were a few spots where the red somehow got through the masking. I was able to sand some of it off thanks to the very thick base coat. Next up is future/pledge and decals which I'm really looking forward to. Before I did the base coat I used Alclad chrome on the metal parts, gave them an oil paint wash and masked them.

Lots of action in this model, very nice.

Thanks very much Tobby

I always attach the head and headgear to the figure before painting, but that's because I am messy with glue. I guess if you are tidy with assembly and the parts fit really well without requiring putty, then painting them separately could produce a better finish.

Thanks for the info, that's good to know.

My wargaming buddy convinced me to build a British army for Age of Eagles rules. He's finished a huge French and Spanish army and I've partially done seven stands. Here are two views of the first highlander stand. Really well sculpted Italeri figures painted as Gordon Highlanders. Figures finished, still have to do the groundwork. Call to Arms foot artillery, fixing the size of the base to suit the rules. and the mounted officer from the Emhar Peninsular war set. Lots of work still to do on him.

Looks great. The sculpt is really good, especially the uniform.

Thanks for sharing your paint #s and also the name of the weaves.

What a great project. Loved the show as a kid. -
Thanks for the advice Graham.

Thanks very much!

Looking for help, I have a bagged 1/48 Spitfire kit without instructions. Being relatively new to aircraft modelling I'd like to search for the instructions online but don't know the manufacturer of the kit. Does anyone recognize this decal sheet?
-
I hadn't considered lighting it. Too late now for this one but maybe a future spaceship model.

Nice. I especially like the look of the crossed belts and the buff colour on the jacket. Oil paint is wonderful stuff. -
Thanks for the warning! I'm going to try painting the red stripes but I'll be careful with the other decals.
-
Thanks very much Steve, I'll look into it.

How many of you have Wingnut Wings kits in your stash? and Why if not
Ted replied to Beardie's topic in Aircraft WWI
I built the SE5a (pure joy at every step) and have the Roland DVIa in my stash. I want more but can't justify them at the moment. -
Thanks for the warm welcome. Joe, my preference is 1/35 and 1/32 for everything but I have done a few smaller scale things. A friend has convinced me to get into 1/72 wargaming. So now I have a tiny British/Portuguese Peninsular War army to paint and base
-
Thanks all. Ozzy, I had a look through the dios in progress but must have missed your thread. Here are the crew and Higgin's boat ready for primer.

Nice! You get a new appreciation for the Bailey bridge design when you see an armoured vehicle in the middle of a long span.

I assembled this and finished the cockpit a couple years ago and just pulled it out of the box again. It came with a great resin pilot figure. The parts are quite thick and heavy in places. Mostly happy with the construction but there are a couple spots that will look weird if I done sort them out. Like the gaps below: I'm pretty eager to get on to painting and especially decalling. I think I'll mask and paint the red stripes, though.
