Build is going wel.... fast...

Post by **DC87** » Fri Sep 20, 2013 11:19 pm

Looks very nice, I guess it must be an enjoyable kit at the speed you are building it.

Post by **gosselin2112** » Mon Sep 23, 2013 3:08 am

Nice subject. Have something similar in my stash. A kit conversion of 3.7cm Flak and Opel maultier. Looking forward to seeing the build up, as I have never built a kit from Revell. Sssh . . . don't tell anyone

Post by **Schoof** » Sat Sep 28, 2013 1:29 pm

And some progress....

Post by **Schoof** » Sat Sep 28, 2013 3:14 pm

A nice coat of black to prime it !

And after looking at the pic`s myself i realise i need to coat it again because i missed a few spots....... but then again i am new with the airbrush....

Great Work on this halftrack !!! Congrats !!!
I really enjoyed your clean build looks great!!

On the first photo of the Halftrack with primer ... its on top of some tracks... are those the tracks of the T-34???

Post by **spruecutter** » Sat Sep 28, 2013 3:44 pm

Your tempting me to build one of these soon.

Post by **Schoof** » Sat Sep 28, 2013 5:22 pm

Wintercamo coat turned out pretty good if i may say so myself............ LOL it`s my topic so i may

Post by **Dunhill2005** » Sun Sep 29, 2013 7:17 pm

Your self-made muzzle-break is a great idea!!!!!!!!!!!

Post by **Coen** » Sun Sep 29, 2013 9:06 pm

Very yellow. I think Dunkelgelb is my favourite colour. haha.
Clever save with the flash suppressor. Well done Sebastian.

Post by **fly1ngdutchm4n** » Sun Sep 29, 2013 9:52 pm

Agree! Great safe on that flash suppressor!

If I may give a little tip? Try to spray a couple of thin layers with the airbrush.
Don't hold your brush too long at one point, and keep distance to your work.

Your progress is looking good, and great job on that winter camo!

Vooral doorgaan!

Post by **alextheblue** » Mon Sep 30, 2013 11:21 am

Looking good Schoof, you've got the colouring spot on!

And great improvisation with the muzzle break, works well.

Post by **Schoof** » Mon Sep 30, 2013 7:58 pm

Now that the Camo is on.... what would be the next "best"
Or logical step ?

Post by **Coen** » Tue Oct 01, 2013 3:24 am

Usually it's detail painting. Tools, dials, rubber on the tyres. etc.

Post by **Schoof** » Tue Oct 01, 2013 9:12 am

I saw in one of your video s you spray it with clear coat. ..... is that before or after the Details

Post by **Coen** » Tue Oct 01, 2013 10:44 am

I spray the clear coat right after the details are painted, then I'll add the decals.
Next I'll do my washes, First a general wash to hit all the recessed detail, then a pin wash to get anything that I missed and to hit all the bases of the raised details.
Then a flat coat,
Next I'll add a sludge wash (this is a new step for me and I'll use it only if I think it's needed, like on a light coloured vehicle), then a filter or two.
Then I'll add any final details that I think would look good, more chipping (not chip is too small), rust stains, rain streaks, oil/gas stains.
Then I'll do my pigment work. That usually completes the build, unless there's a diorama.
If there is then I need to do weathering that will tie the vehicle to the diorama. They have to match.
The vehicle should sit in the diorama, not on the diorama.
You want it to be a part of the ground.
So you have to match the weathering and make a depression (small or big depends on the vehicle and the terrain) for the vehicle to sit in.

That's pretty much my build sequence after the base coat and the primary colours are on.
Hope that helps Sebastian.
It's not what everyone does, but it works for me.

AA is done...... next time it will get paint

Post by **Schoof** » Fri Oct 04, 2013 11:11 pm

Post by **DC87** » Fri Oct 04, 2013 11:13 pm

This is looking very nice, good work on the flak 38 - I've found them a bit tricky in the past

Post by **fly1ngdutchm4n** » Sat Oct 05, 2013 12:10 am

Great work!

Your first time ever scratch building worked out perfect!
Very good job.
Keep it up!

Happy modelling,
Frans

Post by **Schoof** » Mon Oct 07, 2013 2:51 pm

Sooooooooo....... the final detailing and assembeling (it`s probebly written wrong) is on it`s way ....

And here is the marriage between the halftrack and the AAA:

Adding some small details

Post by **Coen** » Mon Oct 07, 2013 2:54 pm

Great progress Sebastian, I love all the little touches buddy.
This is a tricky kit too, good job!

Post by **DC87** » Mon Oct 07, 2013 2:56 pm

Looks really good, one thing I really like is the sort of splodge effect of the paintwork (whether by design or airbrush issues) as it gives the vehicle a real desert worn look

looking great dude.

Really like the damaged fender.

Post by **fly1ngdutchm4n** » Mon Oct 07, 2013 6:55 pm

Nice work here buddy!

Are you planning a diorama for it, or just a base?

Frans

Post by **Schoof** » Mon Oct 07, 2013 7:23 pm

diorama with the T34/85........ in my head it's soooooooo nice

Post by **Radzy** » Mon Oct 07, 2013 7:43 pm

Great job Sebastian. You are doing great job with this mode... Wanna see how it will look together with this T-34 of yours, so keep building

Post by **gosselin2112** » Thu Oct 10, 2013 2:30 pm

Nice one!

Correct.... didnt have the nerve to start yet...

I have seen you do it and i especially used an acryllic gloss paint so were i normaly use enamels...........

*pants getting full*

Post by **Coen** » Thu Oct 10, 2013 5:16 pm

I've never used an acrylic wash, so I don't know what it will do. My washes are all oils.
I'll be interested to see how well they work. You should experiment a bit first Sebastian, just to get used to them.

Post by **Schoof** » Thu Oct 10, 2013 5:42 pm

the wash is oil paint with oderless terpentine the clear coat is acrylic.....

Post by **wappynutter** » Thu Oct 10, 2013 5:44 pm

I have used Acrylic washes but usually to dirty a shiny white gloss finished build to dull and tone it down.
Same method as Oil washes but mix acrylic.
As far as I am aware though, rule of thumb is to use the opposite to the paint or finish used?
So Oil finish, acrylic wash..... Acrylic finish, oil wash so as not to disturb the finish by using its main thinning agent.
You are cracking on with the build though Schoof, I'm well impressed mate.

She's a beauty..

Just a thought.... why not mix up some powdered chalk pastels and some mineral spirit/white spirit/terpentine and wash with that?
Plenty of How-To videos on You tube?
Good luck mate, well done...

Post by **Schoof** » Thu Oct 10, 2013 8:20 pm
