perdu Posted December 2, 2019 Author Share Posted December 2, 2019 I am very impressed, bet you noticed, with the acrylic versions from Humbrol If I was painting a Jag like yours I'd experiment with browning it up a little, like I had to do when I used Tamiya paints on my Jags for the dark green Well worth a go at a quid and a bit per pot Well should get into the garage in a bit to touch in, then I can gloss over things for a short while 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBaron Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 Love the way those seats show up through the windows Bill. I know it's the flash making them seem so prominent but nonetheless it gives a great sense of presence about the inner details peeking out like that. Who knew a Chinook could be coquettish? 😁 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

perdu Posted December 4, 2019 Author Share Posted December 4, 2019 To be fair Ben it was always a kit I rated very highly and felt it was worth a bit of love Quite pleased how it is shaping up Tony the seats show up reasonably without the flash too, just a few points of tidying to prepare there 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ex-FAAWAFU Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 Your Mum made potato chinooks and they were green? Scots cuisine at its very best; I assume they were deep fried at some stage? Perhaps two or three times like those “twice-cooked soufflés” and “triple-cooked chips” you get in poncey gastrojoints. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ex-FAAWAFU Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 Douglas Adams permanently ruined any chance that I would take the phrase “for your comfort and convenience” about 40 years ago. “Other civilisations will evolve. There will be lemon-scented napkins. Until then you will be kept in a state of suspended animation for your comfort and convenience...” 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

perdu Posted December 8, 2019 Author Share Posted December 8, 2019 'Working out' for the Secret Squirrel logo On clear and on white transfer paper The clear makes the bare grey very dark but of course the white gives lighter colours (and in this instance shows me I need to make the logos even lighter) but the background colours will need to be filled in with corresponding colours Or painting the outlines in Humbrol By the way, this isn't a Wokka 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
