vytautas Posted November 28, 2021 Author Share Posted November 28, 2021 (edited) A small update Second coat of paint. I used chipping fluid between the first and second layers. The next coat will be varnish, then again chipping fluid, and a slightly lighter gray color. The overall color will be much lighter than German gray because I want to make strong marks of exploitation, so the overall color will be darker anyway.

Thanks, Lee, for your very kind words. I know, it will sound strange, but I actually came up with something like that. Maybe not really a diorama, but rather a vignette. Vytautas P.S. I myself find it difficult to believe what I am talking about, but I do not joke about the vignette...

vytautas Posted December 2, 2021 Author Share Posted December 2, 2021 Well, here it is. The second coat of paint, a little lighter color. The surface now has many more shades. Unfortunately, not very visible in the photos. I made factory numbers. I used numbers and letters from German registration plate decals. The letter M is inverted by W, the letter V is circumcised by W. I sprayed letter F over the serial number with the stencil - the sixth gun in the Flak battery. The letter got too bright, but it's easy to correct. I wanted to make a stencil for the letter A, but unfortunately, my talent was only enough for the letter F. (Letter F is when I working with the afterburner on, in normal mode, I can make not bad the letter I... ) Victory signs are painted with a stencil. Strange place in the circle - the place for not yet attached cannon control panel. Now I can start pin wash, weathering, pigments, and other nasty things.

vytautas Posted January 2, 2022 Author Share Posted January 2, 2022 (edited) The year is new, but the model is still old... I glued in place the azimuth and elevating controller and started painting. Yes, I know, oil is leaking from the mechanisms. Of course, not good, but what can you do - the cannon is not new... The nameplates of both devices are decals from the German radio station umformers. (Passion Models decal - very useful and universal thing: https://www.passionmodels.jp/product/266) The cables are not yet connected to the aiming computer. Cannon azimuth and elevation controllers. Vytautas P.S. I realized I was working slowly, so I decided to hurry up and finish the cannon this year. But maybe such a plan is too ambitious for me...
