09-27-2009 :: Good paints!
you won't see me that often completely endorse some products but then amongst the vast quantity of crap that is offered to us modellers, some real gems like those paints:
09-27-2009 :: Airbrushing the plane parts
okay, those are rather expensive and I have been buying them over some time but they do the trick handsomely. They airbrushed themselves with ease, and even better, you can sort of polish them with either a brush or some soft cloth and the details just pop out!
of particular praise is the silver tint as I never ever see any paint looking like that. you just paint *silver* not paint you see..
But then it's laquer, so they rather stink and you can't dilute them with ease you have to buy some special thinner, oh well. And then i had some extra surprises with them that I didn't find documented!
more on the later.
The dark metal tint is applied where the sun don't shine (literary)
09-27-2009 :: Gold paint
Then some clearer tint as some undercoat ion the front left of the turret. Notice I also sprayed a ray of gold as some transition, that's the sun you see 
09-27-2009 :: Gold paint on the hull too
Same thing on the hull...
09-27-2009 :: Silver Hobb Color paint
Applying the silver paint on the high highlights
09-27-2009 :: Leave the rear right in the darkness
leave the rear right in the darkness
09-27-2009 :: Rubbing with a brush
Whats' the word already "rub and buff"? anyway, stroking the metal with a brush makes the bump popping out
