October 04 2009 | Water effects: foam!

On to more water effects, here are the basic ingredients: Vallejo paints and Acrylic gel.

October 04 2009 | Mixing the stuff

A dark grey + a bit of blue mix. You have to be cautious because however dark is your paint mix, it's going to look a lot clearer when set.

October 04 2009 | Coat and coats

let's apply that gel, a lot of coats will be needed..

October 07 2009 | Texture

despite more or less managing to get the colour okay, i was still not very happy with the texture, it really looked "acrylic gel", this is why i got the idea of actually mixing it with Andrea microballons (that stuff that is sold to make snow)

October 07 2009 | Rubble

Here I am using this stuff on a big run off to put a bit of failed photoetch that I used as rubble near the plane

October 07 2009 | Bullets -full ones

After a bit of hesitation on where to put it, I finally made my mind to add canopy, Browning and those great GrumpyOldMan full bullets in some empty corner.. (warning, I have been lighting up the pic pretty much)

October 07 2009 | Bullets -empty ones

While the spent cartridges I put close to the plane itself, just like they just fell down from the burning carcass.
