Happy Father's day you old bastards!

Man, that would look so cool in foil!

Sorry for your loss, Mark.

The same here in Australia, Phil.

Looks good, Phil! Leaving the gun bays open? I would hate trying to get PE covers to fit the airfoil perfectly.

Nice work on that office, Peter!

Looks] great, John! Gonna be awesome!

Thank you, Kevin!

Thank you, Peter. I probably could have lived with the pasty white faces. But the uniform painting just wasn;t working. Thank you, Martin. His face is carved very nicely. Nicely carved faces really do a lot of the work for you. It makes buying expensive figures much easier.

Well... I had to strip em'. The acrylic method just doesn't work for me. Good thing the 100% Iso ate right through the combination of paints used thus far. Love that stuff! Sadly, I re-broke the handles of the Teller mines. I am happier with the face painting. I used enamels instead of oils. Which dry much quicker and therefor easier to deal with. But they don't clean as well. Here they are so far... Dunno how much I'll accomplish tomorrow. I'm babysitting my 6-year-old granddaughter. We're gonna go buy ingredients... then bake pies... Pumpkin pies. Lunch out... and then put her on some technology while we wait for her mama to get home from work. Until then....

Welcome to the forum, Ernie.

Thank you! Have you been drinking?

Nicely done, Carl!

Well done!

Thank you, Rob! Washes are done to blend the colors, subtly. So, if you don;t like the result after the first wash... you do another. The trick is to not go too far. And to let them dry enough that your next layer doesn't activate the layer below. Of course, another thing to determine is how thick your wash should be.

I just paint outside.

G'day friends! After some fruitless attempts at soldering, I've ordered a helping hand that will hold the parts together, hopefully. Looks like this: But it's not here, yet. So, today I decided to paint the Panzer Art figures. I decided to try to do it the way Nightshift does. He uses thick washes to do most of the coloration, and I just couldn't seem to get it to work right. I either have too much paint or too much water. Or too much surface tension. So, I've decided to do it in a combination of his style and my style instead of redoing them totally. I've already used acrylics to apply a base color, highlights and low-lights. So, I prepared a pallet of white and black to use as filters to blend the colors as naturally as I can get them. I'll give the oils overnight for the oil to leach out. It's cooler now, so there's little chance of them drying too much. Here are the men now: Even they are all wearing 'white' cold weather clothing, I tried to make their whites in varying shades that will hopefully show once the filters are applied. Happy modelling!

Those PE lg add ons are great. well done!

Looking good! Glad you are doing Chinese livery.

Looking good, JOhn!

My point exactly. If I had to fight and was allowed to choose my job at the front, I certainly wouldn’t go for armor or any other form of shell-magnet.

Good luck on your fix John. I really hate it when clear parts don’t fit.

Cool looking tank. But how much better will it be than the best NATO has now?

I didn't mean you, per se. I just meant modellers in general.
