Painting parts prior to assembly, yes or no?
Do you assemble the whole model and then prime/paint? Or Do you paint everything on the sprue before assembly? Or Do you prime paint some parts on the sprue (POS) and some as sub assemblies, and then assemble once painted? Or Do you do a mixture of the above? Or Paint everything off the sprue... -
Peter's Airfix Spitfire Mk.1a - 1:72 - 90 Yrs of Spitfires GB
Sort of! The rear section has a slight angle on one side, where it meets the middle section. If I have the rear section the proper way round, then the middle section does fit over it, but its on the wonk, and does not completely cover it. However, if I turn the rear section round 180 degrees...- pjgtech

Peter's Airfix Spitfire Mk.1a - 1:72 - 90 Yrs of Spitfires GB
Little update today, primed some bits and started painting internals... Cockpit seat, etc painted up.... And the little fella driving was painted up too. Quite pleased how he came out considering how bloody small he is! Lol... Getting the decals onto the cockpit dash will be fun! tight...- pjgtech

British Universal Bren Gun Carrier - Tamiya 1/35
Yes mate, was quite an easy build, no dramas. Not sure that the Eduard PE added much TBH, as most of it you can't see in the front driver/passenger section, etc. The final weathering look does not quite match how I wanted it to look in my head, IYSWIM? But happy with it overall... yes. (y)- pjgtech

British Universal Carrier Mk2 - Tamiya 1:35
Ok, so this one is now done. Will post more pics on a "completed" thread, but here's a couple. Did some light weathering, a grime wash, a rust wash, some dry brushing, etc. Not 100% happy with the final finish, I need to improve my final weathering technique I think, as I have a tendency to be...- pjgtech

Peter's Airfix Spitfire Mk.1a - 1:72 - 90 Yrs of Spitfires GB
Can anyone suggest a colour for the RAF blue uniform (pilots)? From the picture on the Airfix box, it looks like I don't have anything suitable. I tend to use Tamiya, Mr Hobby and Revell Aqueous paints, so a paint code for one of those would be good? I'll do a quick google too anyway....- pjgtech

Peter's Airfix Spitfire Mk.1a - 1:72 - 90 Yrs of Spitfires GB
Made a start.... I want an open cockpit, so had to cut out the cockpit door and cut the canopy into three sections [Gulp!]. But, it all went ok, [Phew!] Cockpit canopy was cut first, holding it in some reverse tweezers, cutting with the thinnest razor saw that I own, and cutting very slowly and...- pjgtech

Yep, hairy stick only for me too, not invested in an airbrush (yet), and not sure that I ever will TBH, as I quite enjoy the "old fashioned" way of painting.- pjgtech

Commando car in forest Fuel dump Diorama - 1/35th scale - Completed
Just playing around with editing software, thought it might be ok to make a short video on how I made one of my diorama's, (eg: this one!) with a pictorial sequence of the build. I know we have threads showing the build, etc, but they can be fragmented, so the vid is just one short sequence with...- pjgtech
