The set in the new Easy8 are far better than the early ones. You have to go with whatever method suits you best, and the way that you're doing it certainly seems to be working. Nice work Dan.

Dads203 Posted January 14, 2021 Author Share Posted January 14, 2021 3 hours ago, vaoinas said: Yeah, it does look good. What is the "washable dust" you're using and how does it work? Kristjan Mig Ammo washable dust is just a paint that can be removed with water, great for creating some good effects, just spray on and then remove. Gives you a different effect than chipping fluid, I’m liking this product and can see more uses for it in the future. Cheers guys for the great feedback on the build so far 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robgizlu Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Dan - my apologies this build has just missed me by I've just read the last few pages - Absolutlely blimmin super mate. Great finish (Agree with you about pigments, and Abteilung oils). Great build and weathering - looking forwards to the figures and thanks for the nudge about the Dave Parker book. Just done some figure painting again and I'm reminded how much fun that can be You've inspired me - who builds boats these days I'm going to make some time and read this from the start Sheer Class Rob 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dads203 Posted January 19, 2021 Author Share Posted January 19, 2021 Cheers guys, Slow progress lately as things have been hectic in the Dads household and I've like to of been a bit further on with this build. Rob @robgizlu Saw your figures last night mate, great work bud and good to see you back on this side of the forum So, added the canvas cover poles to the turret rear and made a start on the stowage, not much else but the painting up of the webbing back packs has warmed me up for my figures now. Spare wheels need some dust yet. Crew seats are getting some love, they will be stowed upright , these are going in last after the ready rounds are fitted into the turret. Just some of the stowage, the two packs took a couple of hours getting the colours and tomes just right, good practice for the crew. And this piece that I got from Amazon for 3 quid, thought is was worth a punt and it's not bad, it did come with another tarp which I might use on the rear deck.

Enjoy Hello Dan The whole model looks very cool and I especially like the chipping on the turret edge and the decals 👍 The bright steel on the gun barrel is super reproduced and for me it does not look like painted.

Dads203 Posted January 20, 2021 Author Share Posted January 20, 2021 Cheers Chaps for the great comments and likes Late one tonight with work so only an hour on the bench. Cheapo Amazon stowage painted up, well most of it is done at this point. Still wet so I'm going to leave this until tomorrow to do the rest. Decals to be added to the helmet yet and a few other details to painted up. For a few quid they are not bad. Dan 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dads203 Posted January 21, 2021 Author Share Posted January 21, 2021 Cheers Chaps, Still working on the stowage tonight, getting all the packs sorted slowly. A few more areas detailed on the main pack I painted up last night. And the others in the works, two that have been painted are now glossed ready for decals.
