Happy bunny so far, not sure if it needs another one or two layers

Would appreciate your opinions chaps

I have 7 kits awaiting different stages of painting!!

Difficult to tell from the photos Bob. Looks good from here. I personally like a bit of primer showing through here and there as it adds to the faded worn out look.

If your a happy bunny then I'm a happy bunny too :smiling2: :smiling5:

Whos this Ron chap lol

Thanks Steve, one more layer, been messing about with a lamp to see the effect on shadows. Going to leave in a single colour, and hope to keep that faded knackered look!

Well its back:upside:

One of my shelf queens. So another thin layer of dark yellow and i hope it gives a well worn faded paint look. Bit surprised that the paint feels rough??

Tamiya LP seems to be like MRP, needs to be sprayed at lower pressures and in several thin layers, on one StuG over 4 thin layers to finally cover the red primer!

Noticed two lifting hooks have escaped and vanished bugger!

Cheers bov
 
Hi Bob, the ugly beast is looking good with paint, grainy finish can be down to spraying with the airbrush too far from the model, done that a few times too. Hope that helps.

Started on the part i like, weathering, a bit of dried mud

Not too sure about the light dried dust??
 
I had this issue on the T34. All the pigments looked to "fresh". It was a matter of weathering the pigments to make them look more realistic. This was done with oil washes and splatter marks. Coming along well

Hi Steve, many thanks. Getting there
The mud is looking great mate.
Thanks Paul
 
Bob, Weathering is coming along nicely. Like Steve I had a similar problem with pigments looking to fresh. I soften them as well with additional layers and some washers on my build. Keep up the great work
