2996 Victor Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 I'd say that's looking very good indeed for a first coat, Chris! Your brush-painting skills are legendary She'll be all camo'd up before we know it! Cheers, Mark 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Mark Thanks Mark, they usually look horrid with the first coat but it flowed from the brush well with some Colourcoats thinners. Just got to be careful avoiding the stripes now!!! 2 hours ago, AliGauld said: Oh yes, what he said. 👍 Cheers, Alistair 😄 Thanks Alistair, looking forward to getting the paint on. Thanks both Chris 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith 😄Thanks Keith, yes it certainly would but will leave a ridge so trying to cheat that, it is working so far. Here's the second coat, third one will go on tonight, then the weathering can start.

mark.au Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 Looking very nice, Chris. The patience you show in your paint process really adds to the results, it’s a modelling attribute I’m very short on and I admire your approach enormously. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Mark that very kind, when you brush paint, you have to develope a patient side otherwise the paint lifts off if I go over it too soon🙄 That's why I build a few at a time really and it helps keep the mojo levels up too. 7 hours ago, AliGauld said: That looks very nice Chris, I'm excited to see the third coat and shading. Cheers, Alistair Thanks Alistair, you can see it below 3rd coat of DSG added and weathered with a lightened coat. I will start the EDSG tomorrow.

2996 Victor Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 Amazing work, Chris, your painting skills are astounding! The post shade if the panels really adds a whole extra dimension to the finish, doesn't it? Cheers, Mark 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Thanks Charlie, luckily the family went out to the nearest designer outlet earlier so it gave me a couple of hours extra modelling tonight so was able to crack on with some models. Now airbrushing scares me, I love the effects that you airbrushes can achieve, some of which can't be done with a brush. I do enjoy the painting stages.
