Spud, weathering, filters and washes, will blend the camo. It looks fine to me.

[spud]

Thanks Rob, i Added 2 AK Dak filters and its looks better.

Well got some more done tonight, and glued in most of the bits Dust is done with AK pigs and Tamiya thinners sprayed trough the ab, the Joy of AK pigs ;D






How does one go about making a mask for the windscreen where the wipers would be cleaning??

[deafpanzer]

I told you so!!! Camo always look better when weathered. LOL Jeez, you are way too quick... is there a contest going on between you and Dicky about who will finish first?

[spud]

HA! quick me arse. its still not finished ;D

[bigjohn]

I like the weathering spud, looks good buddy!

As for the mask, cut a piece of masking tape the shape of where the windsheild wippers would travel.

[TRM]

Weathering is doing the trick Spud, looking good!

[spud]

thanks Bill

[bullardino]

Nice weathering, spud.

To cut the masks you could use this:

[spud]

haha don't have one of them Luigi but ill mange something,

thanks for the kind words too.

[spud]

LOL Dicy.

Well done the base today its kinda like a road trough a field i sprayed more pigs along the track and all around also to tone down the grass kinda give it a dusty look

[spud]

Thanks Dicky it does show it up well alright dont it .

as for spraying the pigs AK pigs are finer than mig i think and spray as good as paint. i use about 5%pigs mixed up with Tamiya X-20A load brush a few times and into the ab cup them get some more thinner in yer dropper and into the cup, its about a 5% pigs to 95% thinner my psi was at 30 to prevent clogging, I had it at 20 the other night and it did clog a lil bit but releasing the trigger fixed it,

[spud]

sure is Dicky pics of that were on the last page

[bbd468]

The base looks great bro!! I must say ive never heard of spraying pigments...Im definately takin' notes on that. I can see where thats very handy. Nice job Spud!

Gary

[deafpanzer]
