How do you know what paint to use on my model

[STARMAKER.REBEL]

AAAAH! I need someone to show me how to get skin tones for my pilots which means more money spent on the Chinook.

is it normal to just use tan for skin tone? I already have that tan coming in the mail

Tan

I would lighten it with some white, not a lot of white is needed depending on the shade you want.
I normally mix it by dipping a toothpick in the white and mixing it on a palette with the tan.

Hope this helped you out.

Thanks. don't have any white though.

ALAS!!! I happened to talk to my psychiatrist about the models and painting the JLTV-GP M1278 with my new camouflage I'm making for the Department of Defense. She told me that the Military does it's own thing and I need to not be trying to do this modeling for them.

Both the JLTV-GP and the Ch-47A showed up today. Now all I need is $35.oo worth of paint to show up.

I hate figure painting and really suck at it. I often times toss them in my spares bin.

Anybody tried this before?

panel lines and rivets

Nope… A waste of money.

Shocker… always have white on hand. Black too. LOL !

I glued the doors shut and painted the windows black... Major problems with the interior. NOthing fits together the way I think it should go and then I finally turned the floor around from backwards to forwards

My third model as an adult is proving to be too difficult to complete properly. (My grandmother and I put models together scale models when I was a kid.)

This kit is probably a good kit if I could have gotten the dashboard done right. I had to break-out the dashboard that I had glued in. I spilled glue too.

at the very beginning of the build I have a picture of the model so you can tell that I'm trying my hardest.

My Psychiatrist told me to leave the MIlitary alone and not try giving them my camouflage... Major set back but I am glad because I'm not very capable of building the JLTV-GP M1278 anyways.

I will try to now. I really think I could help save soldiers lives. the grey is supposed to be tan and is my camouflage adaptation for ultimate break-up camo.
