Guest snipersmudge Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 (edited) Been bashing away at this lot lately. All destined for commission and all in various states of finish this is another build on a tight deadline but it's paying for a holiday so I am not complaining cheers Pete Edited May 27, 2010 by snipersmudge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smuts Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Very nice work as usual Pete, like the Krupp six wheeler what make are the resin supplies in the back of the truck (Blitz?) they look the dogs danglers. Andy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest snipersmudge Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 cheers guys glad you like em, Andy I cannot remember who made the resin supply's as I have had them in the spares box for years. The chipping was done with my prefered method of marmite. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crookedmouth Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Now this is the sort of effect I wanted to get on my Churchill, although this example is a bit extreme for my liking*. How did you do it? Is it salted? *and, boy! hasn't that attitude got me into trouble on Polkenti's BF109f thread! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siggi Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 What on earth is the "marmite" method??? Dabbing marmite on with a sponge, spraying the paint over it and then washing the marmite off with warm water. I tried it, no way jose, I'll stick to rubber. That stuff (marmite) is an absolute nightmare to work with, one would need the patience of a saint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest snipersmudge Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 What on earth is the "marmite" method??? check out this thread I use this method quite alot and find it's very good for producing random chipping effects http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.p...hl=snipersmudge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enzo the Magnificent Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Dabbing marmite on with a sponge, spraying the paint over it and then washing the marmite off with warm water. I tried it, no way jose, I'll stick to rubber. That stuff (marmite) is an absolute nightmare to work with, one would need the patience of a saint. I use the technique quite a lot, but I too have problems with it. Mostly because I tend to eat as much Marmite as I apply! I've found that the marmite method is excellent for producing a faded patina effect. Spray a slightly lightened coat of the final colour. Apply the marmite. Then overspray with the correct colour. Wash off the marmite. Try it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxidad Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Marvellous - very ingenous use of the the breakfast spread! Pity I did not know this method before I started painting my MkIV Female tank in the GB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest snipersmudge Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 Lovely builds there Pete, hope you're getting paid well for them, you should be. Oh yes indeed! as the ambulance kubel and the desert one required some scratch building the price will be considerably higher! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
