Cheers guys.Latest update is spiders web done from using Gunze sangyo clear mixed with white spirit shot through the airbrush which give very realistic spider web effects. Practised first of course for an hour or so. Spider made from a couple of small balls of polystyrene rolled in the fingers.One large and one tiny one for the head and body.Then super glued paint brush bristles on for legs then cut them down to size.Finished with a coat of Mig dark wash which allowed some white to stay visible which gave the illusion of markings on the body.

Damn Andy! Simply stunnig my man!!!

[AndyArgent.]

Guys thanks for your continuous support.Dan that prosses will work for 35 scale i would think. I got it from a 1/25 scale build of an Opel blitz done in a book called advanced techniques.

[wbill76]

What will you pull off next Andy? Spider-webs in 1/35, amazing!

[AndyArgent.]

Cheers Bill but this is a bit easier than 35 scale,its 1/6

We in Germany have some UHU glue here - sticky paper glue that is. Surely theres a pendant overseas Works perfect for spiderwebs if you put a small dot on your thumb and put your trigger finger on the thumb. Then youll get some small fibres - put them on the to-be-spiderwebbed-object - and thats it. Sorry, YT has no video for that, but I think you get the point

[AndyArgent.]

Tiger I saw a video of that on YouTube.looks good.

[AndyArgent.]

I was working on that jackwagon.lol You do crack me up bud.
Cheers Chris and yes that's about it but it has to be that brand of paint in enamel not acrylic.I had to get mine from Hong Kong as it was not available in the UK.

Ferkin ell

[AndyArgent.]

[TRM]

Brilliant S**T Andy!!! What a great technique and completion!! Too many levels of cool!

[`Boots`]

Right..........thats it!!!!!!!!!!!, i`m orfe to dig out me ferkin` butterfly net

Thought i`d seen some fantastic touches in various dio`s but this is just sensational Andy......never in a million years did i ever think i`d see a handmade spider and web , absolutely outstanding!!!!!!!, just goes to show exactly what can be done with a little thought and imagination........from a simple barrel to an amazing little scene...............gonna have to get a copy of ya book now!!!! .......and i don`t even do dio`s

[AndyArgent.]

Nice one GUYS.Funny how this thing came about.Not planned at all just had to do another article for Delux materials on there rust treatment.picked something easy to do rather than a tank.Found the drum on the back of my 1/6 tiger in the garage thought that might be cool and its gone from there.Now it is about the most random thing I have done.May take it to Euro and see if I can get higher than a H commended for it,doubtful though unless I join the club,lol.

I assume we are talking about a glue stick which you twist and the glue rises in the tube, I have seen it marketed as "Prit" also.  I think I have seen some UHU in my wife's desk drawer her in the USA also.
