10-04-2009 :: Fire traces
So well, here are some extra fire traces on the outside, those are painted in a much clearer tint than the interior of the fuselage. Plenty of pigments fixed with paint too.

The extra browning gets the same treatment
10-04-2009 :: Oil painting with hobby colour paints
Ah, that's me trying to paint just like I would do with oils with those hobby colour paints, it's errr, very hard to obtain, but eventually settle down in a most satisfactory way once I rub it with a dry brush.
10-04-2009
let's start to paint the ground. NO drybrush, NEVER drybrush anything! that's some sort of wet on wet technique. I see here and there some guys that say you have to seal the plaster with white glue or paint or whatever, nope I say, if you do that you just wipe out plaster striong point : it *drinks* paint More on that another day.

10-04-2009 :: Painting bullets with inks
uuuhhh, how to paint those?
oh yeah, the spent bullets will be burnt out and near the hull -I saw there was no outside ejection for the guns amidships. And the full ones behind the ball turret just like it spilled its content at one point
I used inks to paint then -and my Hobby colour metal colours for the tip. Inks are great to keep the original glow of the brass but are not really easy to apply on bare metal.
10-04-2009 :: See this?
I have been buying this stuff more than 15 years ago, this is rubber and is supposed to be used in aircraft modelling for wires, or hoses I don't know. Well, I don't regret not having dump them as they proved really cool to use as the oxygen hoses for the gunner
