I am having trouble with my air brush. I have a paasche double action
Bottom feeder. When I go to paint the the paint just bubbles in the cup like its blowing air not sucking it out.
It get the bubbles to go down and it just does it repeatedly, little spurts of paint will spray out
But not...
Im building a Tiger I and am having problems getting the interior primed. I think my first problem I think is that I glued just about every interior piece in before I painted everything. So my current problem is with the primer. I mix the Vallejo grey primer with water and it just "dewed" up on...
I just started a new build about 3 days ago and am not not past the 2nd step and I'm predicting the build to take almost the entire length of the contest. I'm building Academy's Tiger i mid with full interior and all that jazz, which I have been looking forward to build for some time.
I'm just...
I am trying out a more detailed tank interior than when I built a M3A1 and was thinking for how to paint it. Is it easier to paint the small pieces like seats, levers, radio and such unglued and paint the interior color then glue them in painted.
Painting is complete and I just put a burnt umber wash on her least night. I took a lead pencil around the edges and added paint chips and painted the shell damage areas. Also used the AK track wash but I think I need to redo the tracks with some more iron pigment. I think most of it came off...
Hey guys,
I just finished the camo on my Dragon Jagdtiger Henschel Production type and am wondering which wash to use. Its the dark yellow with brown and green camo. I thought I read somewhere the burnt umber works better with the German yellow color but I haven't been able to find the...
Took the jump tonight! I drilled a hole in the side of my tank, heated the shell up and pressed it into the hole. I was a little apprehensive going in but I think it turned out quite nicely. A plus is that I holds itself in place but I think I'll stick some putty an glue in the inside just to be...
A well. It's been awhile since my last post but I have gotten some work done. Found a bottle of German red/brown and used it as the primer coat for the lower hull and also the tracks. I also found out that it's a frackin pain to put tracks on with just one un-glued running wheel on each side...
Sorry guys. I don't know what I was thinking when I first posted my new build. But anyway, I'm building the JagdTiger. Shooting for some battle damage this time. Scrapes dents and falling off fenders. The kit came with a brass shell and casing which I'm going to experiment with by heating the...
Re: Big Kitty (Jagdpanther)
OMG! I'm sorry guys! /pillows face with arm and cries...... I'm building a Jagdtiger not Panther. I have not idea why I put Panther, I don't even have one in my stash! No wonder I was wondering what PanzerAce was talking about
Re: Big Kitty (Jagdpanther)
Thanks ace and scratch. I have some uPdated photos I'll post soon but we have been snowed in here for the past three days and enjoying every second of that white cold stuff we can!
Re: Big Kitty (Jagdpanther)
Well I have the tracks almost completed, I just need to form them and create some sag. Any recommendations on how to paint German tracks? They call for steel but I think that will look way to new.
Here kitty kitty. Here is my next project, the 1943 Jagdpanther. I figured it's a pretty laid back build with nothing to comPlicated. I'm going to try out some battle damage this time and have it buttoned up. A few went to the eastern front and I have been I thing to try the AK chipping magic...
Thanks everyone for the responces! I love looking at other peoples progress and works but at the same time its my hold back. Everyone does such nice work that I tend to over think how im going to paint and weather a model. But as you can see with this first time weathered boy I just poushed...
I'm sitting here with the rear fenders/splash guards for my Jagdtiger trying to figure out what to do to bend them to create damage. Do you heat the piece up and then bend it? I figured I'd use needle nosed pliers but i don't want them to snap. Just wondering.
Well I didn't exactly mean watered, lol I know oil and water are not friends. When I first opened it the smell was just hit me and after the oil change I did earlier that day they smelled quite similar.
