Plastic Scale Models
From Federal Burro of Information
Scale
1/72 = I like this scale for planes
Tools
- Air brush - needed / iwsh list
- Panel liners
Techniques
- Think about what to glue on and paint, versus what to pain _then_ glue on.
- Clean the model before primer
- Using black primber for shadow and highlist hwith whie, then apply basecode of colour
Process
planes
- cockpit
- landing gear
- assembly
- putty
- filing, sanding
- redo panel lines
- black primer, white highlights
Tanks
- lower hull and suspension
- upper hull
- tracks
- wood handles on tools: light sand, washes of brown for grain.
- black primer, white highlights
Weathering
1. light matt clear to cover base paint job
2. ragged sponge with very little paint, dabbing around edgers and high ares, hinges , etc.
3. light layer of mineral spirits
4. while still wet: oils on places where rust might happen.
Colours:
- Rust
- burnt/raw sienna
- burt/raw umber
- "Streaking grime"
light treatment, then once over with dry brush
