Hey folks, I've had some login issues with the site recently. I've resolved them with customer service and I'm back on the forum! I've since completed Cap, as you'll see below. I used Model Master paints for the figure, which didn't take very long to put together. I'm not near my workshop right now but if you would like to know which particular shades of paint I used, just let me know! After the paint was dry, I gave Cap a subtle wash with black acrylic paint mixed with water and dish detergent. Then I sprayed the model with testor's dullcote.
The thing I had the most fun with however was the display base. After I primed it, I mixed a solution of acrylic paint, glue and plaster of Paris together and brushed it on. After it dried, I applied more white glue followed by a liberal application of model railroading ballast. The back walls were painted with Krylon American Accents stone textured spray paint. I hand brushed the grout with black enamel paint. The pieces of wood were painted with artist's oils, and grass/plants were added using model railroading grass and fake moss. The mud puddle was painted on with gloss brown paint, and the clear plastic splash pieces were dry brushed with the same paint.
All in all, this build was great! I had a lot of fun branching out from my normal airplane and tank builds.
