I had a great weekend. Both playing paintball and modelling! Managed to whip up quite a large number of models using my airbrush. Here is the result of about 2 hours of paintbrushing:
|
Basecoats are all done, ready for the detail work |
I then went on to do some paintballing on Sunday morning.
|
Pew pew pew |
This is a brief of some of the steps I took to bring them from old paint job to new paint job
|
Set up my kit next to a window with good ventilation. |
|
Good bye old colour scheme. I used blutack to mask the canopy |
|
White primer in 4 even coats |
|
Preshaded with black primer using a 0.3 needle at 10psi |
|
I took out my needle cap to get my paintbrush really close in. |
Unfortunately I dropped my Serpent on the head and bent the needle. Thankfully though I managed to do all the preshading on my Serpents by then but forced me to use the 0.5 for the Scorpion. As the Scorpion was a larger model, my 0.5 was able to do all the preshading pretty well. PHEW!

I then hit the jetbikes with some paint to get the basecoats up |
I hope you guys had a great weekend too! Looking forward to seeing more from everyone!
I should get myself an airbrush. It makes it look so easy D:
ReplyDeleteSurprisingly easy. I had my doubts at first due to costs but the time saved is amazing. Not forgetting the beautiful results that cannot be accomplished with a paintbrush.
