discussion Tamiya Wespe 1/35 scale.

[Tim Marlow]

After the fiasco with the Neo , taking it apart , cleaning , checking just about everything on it , I've gone back to the .34 needle assembly.
Think it's a lot to do with thinning , also found that if the connection to the ab is really tight the air flows all the time. Releasing the connection slightly stops this
Anyway having done another coat things look better .

The last one looks as if he's in a snow storm !
Oh well I ll just carry on .

Don’t worry too much about that John. Once the top coat is on it will smooth out quite nicely, just adding a bit of modulation interest.

The selection of figgies are going to be the perf fit John, did you make the rifle slings? Everything is coming along nicely

Thanks Tim going to leave them for a bit then start on the top coats with the wet palette.

There must have been a flock of seagulls passing overhead :smiling6: ...just kidding. I've seen some figure modelers apply the spackle look to add texture. They look good Wobble.

First the figures, decided to do the faces first as is the way , several thin coats of pale flesh from Life Colour , then tried the eyes. Normally at this point I resort to a Vallejo Wash , but carried on . Some have had the eye done with a small dot , a few had a err blob ! Those have been repainted .




Pupils to be done . Paint for the uniforms was very " wet " hence some pooling in the folds. Maybe I should have brushed these out before it dried ?

The Wespe it self has had a coat of colour, the basic before the other two colours for the camo .





I noticed the missing paint in the right hand side , either that or a shadow !
Any points please write !
Thanks for looking in .
