That's looking very nice. Sky, H90, one of my favourite colours.

Thanks Colin, it's one of my favourites too.

Well...The brown went on well and I decided I wanted the heavily feathered edge look on the green, so tried to free hand the camo pattern.

It didn't go as well as I expected. The edges were fine, but the coverage was patchy and you could see the spray paths clearly. The patterns were also all over the place, so I have reprimed the wings and am going to use the blu tack method to ensure a thinner coat of paint and a more uniform pattern.

Back to square one!

Hi Chris,
Freehand spraying is tricky indeed, looks like you fixed it very well :thumb2:
Cheers, Steven

It is easier on larger scales, and there are a number of things that need to coalesce to make it successful, such as sleep, moderate caffeine, patience and accuracy.
Unfortunately caffeine is the only thing I had too much of.

Nice to see your son modelling Chris, something for you both the remember and enjoy. :thumb2::thumb2::thumb2::thumb2::thumb2:

Absolutely! He is a huge lego fan and this seems like a logical ‘next step’.
He does seem to be leaning toward tanks though...

Turned out nice.





Except for that.....:tired::tired::tired::tired:

This is the third model in a row this has happened on.

I clean the surface with meths, then apply stynylrez neat and paint over the top. I'm using Tamiya tape.

What am I doing wrong! It's clearly a surface bonding issue with the primer. Would a lacquer based primer solve this?

[Steven000]

Looks good, pity of that spot :thinking: ...
Can't help you with why this happend, I always use Vallejo primer without any problem, but many people here seem to really dislike them, throwing them out of their window etc...

Hope you can find a solution :thumb2:

Thanks Steven. Maybe I'll give Vallejo a go.
