Well, I've finally made some more progress on my B-24. Let me tell you, it's been a painful learning experience.
What have I learned?:
1) Stick to Armor models!!
2) If you do a plane, don't do one with so much damn glass! (B-29's are right out!)
3) If you use Future floor polish as a clear coat your decals are supposed to go on better.
4) Future floor polish radically alters (darkens) your paint job.
5) Decals don't necessarly help decals stay down.
6) Solvaset will melt your decals if you use too much.
7) Stick to armor models!!
Here are some pictures:
I'd like to say that paint chipped effect was something that was intended, but alas. . .
I still have my props, landing gear, and weathering to go. If all goes well (at this stage,) the props should distract people from the other less successful parts of the model (more to come later on that.)
wow, these 1/35 cale models are well done. I used to paint a great deal of infantry 1/35 when I was younger. I am going to dig them up and post them. I started collecting 1/6 models from (Dragon Models). They are incredibly detailed . For a 12" toy it is crazy when everything on the weopns has moving parts, or the linings come out of the jackets.
