I am afraid I cannot offer any assistance with your paint conundrum as I don't get on with Tamiya paints at all. Keep up the good work. All the best Chris Thanks. No worries about the paint, the Gunze arrived. 😀 12 hours ago, TheBaron said: Blessed be he amongst mensch.

The Spadgent Posted July 11, 2018 Author Share Posted July 11, 2018 Quick ten minutes before an extended dog walk tonight. I put down some white mid panel highlights. Here’s the bottom. (Steady on Ced) 😯 I bought some Tamiya rubber black, hopefully the pre shade will show through. 🤔 The Gunze turned up too. There it is next to its pot. Looks about right. A couple of extra shots of the highlights. Thanks for dropping by. Looks like I’m headed towards Camo. I might do @giemme‘s idea for faint lines by brush. Seems like a plan. Take care and as always, happy modeling. Johnny. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Spadgent Posted July 14, 2018 Author Share Posted July 14, 2018 Good afternoon you lovely people. in between taking the car in for an mot and service I got some paint on. 👨🎨 I also took a tonne of pics. So I’ll apologise in advance. It’s all in the interest of documentation you know. 🧜♂️ Here’s the plan. This tally’s up with the pics of PA474 dressed as the phantom in my books. (Which is nice) So any way I used @giemme‘s tip for marking out the lines. Even though I watered down the paint 5:1 and the lines were barely visible I still think they were too much. Maybe just use water next time? You’ll see what I mean in a sec. Here is the beginning of the Mr Colour. Gunze Brown going down. Thinned with Tamiya thinner. 1:1. This paint is a dream. 😌 I just may have to get more. I traced over the weak lines but you can still see them. I was a little worried but as I payed down thin layer after thin layer they faded well. (Phew) Then I filled in the gaps. be careful if you’re doing this and constantly check your sources and reference as it’s easy to colour in the wrong bit. Well if you’re a numpty like me it is. 😲 first pass complete. more thin layers, I just love the buttery ness of this paint. Third/fourth pass. In natural light. Just how I wanted it. 😊 subtle pre shade showing through. I’ll post shade later with effects and what not on top. 😍 Checking what my good man @giemme did between camo colours on his Hog (he clear coated) I followed suit. behold the expensive gloss coat spray booth. Or as I like to call it, a box my wellies came in, one side for priming one side for varnish. 😯 gives a good idea of scale though. here she is all wet. after this first layer of camo I must say I can’t see any of those rivets I spent hours on. 🤨 only time will tell. we are out tonight at the Theatre. “Matilda” I should wait for her to dry before masking so probs tomorrow. felling happy with the progress. Hope you’re having a lovely weekend. Take care dear chums. As always Happy Modelling. Johnny 😇 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or a numpty like me Johnny - it's something I often used to do too, so now after drawing out the camo pattern on the model, I mark the areas that say, should be dark earth, lightly with a X with a suitable colour watercolour pencil. Usually works! You could use the thinned paint you use for outlining the camo pattern too I guess? And your dark earth looks really good!

The Spadgent Posted July 15, 2018 Author Share Posted July 15, 2018 Mornin’ chaps. Just before we set off to see “Matilda” it was very good by the way. I started blu-tac masking and filling with Tamiya islands. This morning saw the task done. Was singing the praises of Mr Colour but to be fair the Tamiya RAF Green was going down well too. First light coat going well. I was tempted to leave it like this but it was too much sooooo. Coat two. not as much as the brown as it’s a darker colour but I’m happy with the look. and in natural light is lovely. I’ll leave it there and de mask later on. Thanks for popping in. Hopefully more later. I can see a lot of masking in my future. I can see why these birds rarely get gompleted or stall. They are beasts. This part however is a real joy. Hope you’re all having a sunny funny weekend. Johnny colour match . 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
