[robbo]

Smashing work Gary on both pieces, love the dull coat, is it in a bottle or spray can?

[deafpanzer]

They are FREAKING AWESOME!!! Love the flatness...

[Hinksy]

Hi fellas,

Dammit! The whole time I've been a member of our great forum I've totally overlooked this section!

I used to love getting involved with the occasional GB so I'll be watching to see what comes up later this year

Lovely build Gary - looking superb. I've heard nothing but good things about this kit!

Apologies for missing this one so far

[Deano]

Looking excellent Gary , superb painting skills as usual ...also like the alterations on the Leo !

[bbd468]

Thanks for the kind words fellas.

Ian, It Testors DullCote Lacquer in a bottle. I airbrush it. It sprays like a dream! No white flakes or frosting....just mad i only recently started using it. I use Klean Strip Lacquer thinner to thin.

Here tis buddy.



Ill be moving the Leo to a proper thread soon fellas, got to remember this is a specific GB.

[moramarth]

While the flat clear dries ill play with the Leo 1-1/2 A1 Beta.

Being well weird, I'd probably have backdated the Leopard to the Afrika Korps variant...

Cheers,

Damn, my reference didnt go back thats far...i knew i missed somethin!

Alternatively, you could fit a MG mount to the glacis, full height mesh schurtzen, Panther-style spaced top armour, paint it in red primer and put it on a base marked "Kummersdorf, 1945" - that should cause some confusion...

Cheers,

[Deleted]

[Paul P.]

Gary im busy taking notes on this as a certain member of our community, who shall remain nameless, but it begins with D want to take me completely out of my comfort zone and build a tank , so your gonna have to explain what a pin wash is, and why did you gloss it to matt it later ??

It be part of they black arts they calls armour building,Paul.They put the shiny stuff on so's the washes etc flow all nice like where you want em,then when they're dry,if you like the look,you throw that there flat stuff on.(I think?)

[MOOSE.]

Immaculate Gary! Rolling in late but I'm in ;D

Hey Paul, theres several schools of thought on this. My process is prime, paint basecoat, paint tools & accessories, seal with Gloss, apply Decals seal decals with gloss, Pin washes, seal with Flat. Thats what i do to the point at which you see the Humber now. I do my weathering in layers. Next ill do panel fading with oils & maybe some enamels. When thats done, it seal that with another coat of Flat. Ill do chipping, enamel streaks and grime/dust and when thats done, ill spray another thin coat of Flat. I finish up with pigments and graphite in proper areas and thats it pretty much. You generally dont apply pigments then seal over that as you'll lose most if not all the effect you created.

Im letting the Humber cure about 3 days while i play with the Leopard and make ready for this weekends Model Show.

Ian, Does your local hardware store sale Lacquer thinner? Thats should do the trick bro.

Thanks a bunch my MSC brothers! I appreciate one and all!

McBoggs

[TRM]

Looking really nice with the dull coat Gary! Looking forward to the fading!!

[bbd468]

T., Nemo - Fanx you guys!

 Gettin a little Nemo on me was a GOOD thing!

[imatanker]

Good luck at the show Brotha G. I know you're gonna leave with more metal than you went in with

[danb.]

Wow Mr Boggs sorry i have not been in and commented earlier that Humber is looking off the scale buddy your paintwork style always amazes me when you apply the flat coat how it changes the colour variation :0 truly stunning nice work on the Leo too buddy some nice upgrades going on
