always pays to recheck your paints as you never know whats hiding,


did it in a tricolor ,all free hand,


I,m quite happy with it,so far


hope you like her next is decals,


all with my broken AB,with a bent needle,


has a little over spray,but all that comes with time and a better AB,

Nice camo monica, good to see you building some armour!

 

[monica]

ta Aaron,so glad you like it as well,no to bad ,I must say for freehand,

 

[Guest]

That's some nice camo!


How hard was it to do the lower hull with all the wheels and suspension with an airbrush? It would seem like you would have to do it a few times at different angles to get the paint everywhere?


Thankfully out of the 3 colors for the camo im painting there's only the base and darkish color on the lower hull, seems the Chinese didn't bother with a full camo on the lower hull area, just a crude two tone effect which should make it easy for me hah.


Anyway keep it up, cant wait to see the finished product


[Edit] Every time i see peoples builds coming along i wanna get going on my ones again, forgetting that they aren't fully dry There must be something to do tho... after a smoke and coffee.

 

[monica]

ta Jason, so glad that you do like it,


yes your right I did not find it hard,but as you said need to come in from the side as well as the top to get it on,


I just do it so it looks coated from all side,and I do the whole thing in one sitting,lay down base coat,then add the


two other colors all at once it works for me,


maybe wrong but I,have seen on some German tanks and the likes,that they will only have the base coat on the lower hull,


Patrick is a good one for knowing these types of things,

Nice work there Monica it looks the business, don't worry about the overspray, its not much and it will blend nicely after a wash keep up the good work.


scott

 

[monica]

I quite like the look with that small amount of over spray as well,

 

[monica]

That looks exactly like the moss that grows round these parts, great stuff, just outside the door and it's free!

 

[Wong Ryan]

This is super well composed diorama. And the paint job on the tank is just so right ...... super build, and super finishing !!!
