Trouble Painting German Uniform Insignia? Not Any More!

Very interesting! For medals and badges it's great but for arm bands they might be too thick considering the scale.

Thanks for sharing.

Yes I agree with avus ive use colored PE for may A/C. The only issue i would have is the paint that eduard uses is not flexibale and when you go to bend the arm bands or nything with a good curve to it the paint crackes and flakes off leaving bear metal. So think about it painting it on cheap eduard can get expencive. Just my

You'd think they could've done a little research into flexible paints. They make them for car bumpers, among other things.
 
 The overall idea is pretty cool though, but I think I'll stick to painting them myself, at least as long as my eyes are still able to see that small. My hands do seem more clumsy with that kind of detail than they used to be however, so maybe I ought to start looking into it afterall.

Vinnie claims they can be bent without harming the paint;

"I removed a couple of the arm bands and rolled them up into a tight coil and then straightened them to see if there was any effect on the paint, and there wasn't a trace of damage. I have no idea of the technology Eduard use to produce these..............but it works! "

Wouldn't be of much use otherwise.

Thats nice to here i just hope they use the same paint on there A/C zoom parts.
