and other artistic stuff
I ordered this before the weekend build meet we had, in order to have some of the colours I needed, and also to check a few of the books that was recommended.
Now at least I have british interior grey green. I’ll try it out as soon as possible.
I ordered some more neccessary stuff, and got the parcel today.
I thought I’d try Vallejo’s thinner and flow improver to see if that helps on some colour like their primer, which usually is “useless” as it easily clogs the airbrush.
Also a scraper is one thing I like to try, but I think I need to get curved ones later.
I did a little larger order at my “local” online hobby shop, and got the parcel today.
I needed a new cutting mat as the old one is very worn and full of glue, colour and putty, and have been beyond cleaning for a very long time.
I also bought a single blade nipper, some saw blades, cutting templates, agressor colour sets and some Tamiya colours.
It’ll be interesting to try out the nipper later. I should do cleaner cuts without creating as much damage to the plastic or risk breaking parts due to tension while cutting.
Also the cutting templates will be nice to try out.
Today I collected a parcel with much needed colours.
Some of the colours are for my tank (the Strv 122), and the sets are both ongoing builds and planned builds. Right now I need light ghost grey for my F-16C.
Yesterday I was at the local hoppy shop and bought a few canvases and some clay.
I intend to use the canvases as bases for mini dios for two of my models, the Warrior and the M3A1 Scout. I might need a somewhat larger canvas for the Warrior as the soldiers might need a larger area to be placed on.
The clay is for shaping the ground on the canvases. I think it should be quite easy to do tracks in the clay, and then paint when the clay has dried.
Today I got a parcel with the colours I’ve ordered.
I ordered a few of Vallejos new metal colours as I wanted to try them out. Rumours say they are quite good! I’ll have to try them as soon as possible.
Black is always needed and the other colour are for my Lightning, so now I can start masking and painting the top side camo.
I picked up a parcel today with 2 needed items for my builds.
So now I have the paint needed for my Argentinian Mirage and the nozzle will hopefully solve the problem I have with my airbrush.
Collected some colours for my little MiG-29! 🙂
Looks like I have a good excuse to get myself another MiG-29 in a little larger scale than 1/144th.
I got three parcels collected today at different delivery stations. First one Molotov liquid chrome refill and then some more neccessary colours.
Lastly I got help to collect the last parcel with these two kits.
Quite cool and I’m very happy! 🙂
Today I got a pretty large box, delivered by UPS at my door. From the start I was only supposed to get micromesh and polishing compounds, and maybe some colours, but I just happened to see that they had this kit at a reduced price.
It’s not often I buy kits like this, but at a price much lower than in my local hobby shop, it was a no brainer.
Now I just need to collect the guts to build it. Does it need any extras? Not sure I’m gonna bother as it’s pretty good as it is.
I just got this set of metallic effects.
I’m really looking forward to trying them out and I think the Gannet will be my test object. I also have the engines and exhaust to the Fullback to try on.
Hopefully I can give a report soon.
