Evening all,
Steve, thanks mate
. Taking off the handles was easy replacing them with a suitable small one was the challenge….
The lamp has 3 different light levels and although small it’s pretty easy to topple over, some care is advised when in use moggelling.
Si, rolling in the right direction indeed
, thank you.
Mick,
yep careful it’s highly contagious
…..thanks
Ian and
Jim, thanks guys.
With the kind assistance of mother nature providing a nice sunny day, painting the Abrams was pretty easy in the good light.
First gave all the parts a coat of Vallejo Grey primer, been awhile too when a complete model fitted on the block
:
When the primer was dry, A.Mig-085 Nato Brown was sprayed on in a 50/50 thinned mix using a 0.15mm needle at 20 psi for the pre-shade:
The Nato Brown was dry pretty quick so the base coat of A.Mig-025 FS33446 Us Modern Vehicles was applied with the same mix, needle and pressure.
Three light mists and a couple of spots here and there gave the desired finish and let enough of the pre-shade intact (it show up better in real life):
I’ll let it dry for the night, tomorrow a coat of gloss or two for the weathering and handling.
As this one is drying and the Toon challenge coming up, work has started on a Tammie Fw190 D-9 as an in between project
, more on that tomorrow.
Thanks for looking in.
Fernando
