Cheers Ralph I appreciate that , long way to go with the standard camo but the winter is coming along very nicely\ said:What you you have achieved with handbrushing these models is great.

Dave, for heaven's sake! I haven't corrected you, merely increased your knowledge perhaps?\ said:Once again i stand corrected!
I hesitated in posting back on this forum, but my hesitation was founded, i shall remain clear of this shit forum.
Cheers Scot your absolutely right it needs work , I have some academy kits I can work on\ said:Its looking good there Alan the panzer IV looks just right, as for the other I think both skills have merit and their down sides.

Cheers Ralph, Yes I'm using the stippling motion but not a stippling brush , I'm using a round brush with a rounded tip so the bristles don't flare out and keeps the paint more in the centre, believe it or not it's a basic humbrol brush , so now they can actually be useful\ said:This looks good Alan.
Are you using a stippling motion?
............ and that Winter Camo is superbly done.\ said:over the last week I've been practicing how to paint camo on tanks in this case German , I've found a way that looks good although to do it to an acceptable level is going to take a lot of practice but it can be done as the photos will indicate
The best way I've found is to dry brush this is a panzer IV I built some time back and it's turned into a practice piece
This has several different attempts so it's not uniform but I thought I'd so off the best attempt so far and then there's some photos of it in winter camo so it's become an actual build instead of just a lump with different colours on it
Please feel free to offer advice/comments View attachment 140356View attachment 140357these are shots of the left and right side of the turret I'd like you to concentrate on as you can see the dry brushing has created a sort of blended effect this does need practice it's not how I would present a model but this will come and I think in a month or so I will have a viable effect and in six months it will look like it's been airbrushed
This is the winter camo
View attachment 140358 View attachment 140359 View attachment 140360 This is also a practice for a T34 I have planed
Cheers Peter I appreciate that\ said:That is some superb brushwork Alan ........... I'm all for brushes, it's what i grew up with. I did try an airbrush once, but as far as I was concerned it was a lot of Fannying around for not a lot of advantage............ I'm not nearly as good as you (and a lot of others) with a brush, but, as with all things in this hobby. I try to learn a bit as I go along.
From what I've read on various forums Dave, mottling is tough to get right using Vallejo paints (I'm assuming that these are your weapon of choice).\ said:I tend to use both methods the main colour is sprayed weathering brushed but I'm having a go at all brushed at the moment so fingers crossed. I have a ju52 I want to do in winter camo but I'm way off attempting that. But seeing other folks trying techniques inspires me.
The only spray technique I would love to learn is painting thin lines and mottling but I just get runs and spits.
