Small Scale Military Headquarters

Looking forward to seeing you work your magic on it!

Received mine today and it looks good. They gave it weathering effects with light shading, chips, and even the pieces painted silver have a sort of umber wash on them to give them a worn/used look. Overall I am very pleased. Probably better weathering than I can do right now ;-) Definitely not a spo...

Mine should be here Monday. I hope this doesn't become a chip-cat ordeal!

Great Dio!

Hey Corey, I hope you'll reconsider and stick around, I've bought several items from you over the years and your prices were always more than reasonable so I always paid your asking price. No need to haggle if the price is fair. (although I don't see my name on your trade list ;-) . ). As someone el...

Thanks, appreciate the intel!

I used all Vallejo model paints (arcrylic) i used and earthen wash from Citadel gaming paint company. Im not sure if their washes are oil based or arcrylic.

:p51: My first attempt at airbrushing and weathering. Trying to get ready for Pickel's King Tiger. This is onyl 1/72nd scale. All you fantastic painters please critique and provide feedback. Thanks! ;-) http://i1181.photobucket.com/albums/x434/andyvw/DSCF4381.jpg http://i1181.photobucket.com/albums/...

No rush, I'm still practicing my painting.

Great tip and video, thanks!

I actually have one but dropped it off the desk a couple of times and broke a few details off of it. As for size, it would fit about 6 inch figures. The horn works on it when you push the steering wheel down. (If you dont drop it like I did

These sure are amazing. I'll have to take the plunge on the RSO once my painting skills get to where they need to be.

Beautiful work Steve. The diorama base and model both look great!

Your work is outstanding! Looks like the real thing that was zapped by a shrink ray!

Chinook would be awesome in 1:18 scale, but I've got to go with the Hind first.

For the plane , I definitely want an A-10!

Im interested, do you have any before and after pics?

Great news Jim. Hope you'll post some pics on your website for those of us who cant make it!

Great info guys, thanks!

I'm going to keep trying to dig up older tips and techniques and post here . Just got back from working out at white sands missile range for a couple of weeks and free time was limited.

Weathering decals: Andrew, You want to bleach the color out....fade the color..... If the decals are on the model try spraying them with dull coat. Let the area dry, then use artists pastels, color you want...rubbed in with a Q-tip, spray and let dry and then do the same with the second color. If yo...

Washes: Here is a first question: When applying washes, either oil or acrylic, must the finish of the paint be gloss or flat. I have seen several You Tube videos and some say put a gloss finish first so the wash will run correctly, then after the wash is dried the way you want, then apply a flat fin...

Im going to start posting the info in the thread I created and will keep it bumped up with new info.
