                        g'day stuka-- are u using the fine nozzle for the squiggle pattern? using acrylic or enamel? as i posted, i'm considering a similar application of winter camo for a FW 190 F8 -- (white squiggle on top of normal scheme)--i appreciate your compliment on the A3

                        What am I working on letts see...... My most recent is Fujimi's 1/72 Ju87 stuka, which I super detailed from scratch and am currently in the process of painting on the very complicated squiggle camo with my Badger 100LG! , I'll post some pics later once its finished!
                        By the way nice job on the Fw190, I think it looks great! GOOD JOB! :)

                        Thanks E, its my first attempt at 'modern' technique, and acrylics as well -- I used a (brand new) Badger 100LG--i primed it w/ Krylon -- RLM76 base & RLM 75was 'color of eagles'--link below--RLM 74 was Model Master acrylic--sealed w/ Future & washed w/ ivory black/burnt umber artist oil thinned w/ turpenoid

                        this should take you to the FW 190 sorry for the roundabout way-- just learning the ropes -- i'll comment after you have seen it

                        oi stuka--she's all done-- had a bit of a problem w/ getting the 'soot' symmetrical for both port & starboard exhausts -- for some reason the pastel stuck to one side a little better than the other (maybe i'm the only one who will notice) other than that, i'm very satisfied w/ the result -- barring any tech difficulty i'll post pics this week- I'm ordering some weathering powder

                        http://www.perthmilitarymodelling.com/reviews/misc/mmp/mmp_powders.htm
                        it should correct the soot problem-- i'm hooked on the FW190, and just got the tamiya F-8 and the D-9 . Think i'll order the fine nozzle head for the badger, I like the winter camo scheme for the F-8 that served in Hungary 1945, (one of the plates from Squadron/signal FW190 in action)--- what are you working on?

                        oi stuka -- it used to be 'beware the wounded springbok' -- now its the '...wounded wallabie'--they really missed collins@flanker-- i agree we played (our) average stifling defence, liable to opportunistic tries --thankfully that was enough to win --glad the AB didn't dominate, they need to re-tool a bit ,2007 France WC isn't a long way off--anyway getting on w/ the FW-190, just did the wash w/ artist oil -- looking really good--i'll try to post pics soon

                        definately a true 'house of pain' showing -- i believe umaga was the man who made it happen with defensive pressure just prior to the ruck--Roko had an inpiring game as well, i think the all blacks had something going with that new 'cut throat' haka--hope we don't underestimate oz next week-- set me back a bit on my FW-190, as quite a few beers were drunk at 12:30 am at kickoff-- decals went on nicely, so just prepping to future seal & enamel wash

                        hello stuka-- just now starting the future coat -- spent a bit of time correcting spray mistakes--developing my own techniques such as a 'masking-mask' ( using wider scotch tape on top of tamiya tape to handle my tendency to overspray ) -- still getting used to the 100 LG, but making progress! --i highly recommend 'color of eagles' acrylics -- looks like its all on the line for the All Blacks in Dunedin next week

                        hello tom-- might not be a bad idea to prime w/ enamel yellow , then follow up w/ COE 'Gelb' , to reduce the number of layers you need to get it opaque -- i found that I needed quite a few layers to cover MM acryl white primer--
                        Stuka, looks like this tourny will be a battle of attrition, wouldn't mind seeing the Bokkie brought down a notch-- we'll see how ozzie fares with the ref in its set-scrum tactics

                        Dog - yeah I just got my gelb from greatmodels last week and haven't tried it out. There are a few colors I still do enamels with... and as long as the enamel is dry the color of eagles goes on just fine over it if needed...

                        good luck!!! I am about 90% switched over in my aircraft colors to the Vallejo paints now... and loving it!!!

                        Hi Tom-- how's it going? Thanks much -- i've actually developed a technique where I start my line on a piece of cardboard, if it is satisfactory, I continue onto the aircraft-- camo actually looks good-- unfortunately I'm having a problem with my 'yellow' (every luftwaffe modelers rite of passage) -- I primed w/ MM white, and have been adding COE 'Gelb' layers& sanding down 'build up' areas.Definitely slow going.I realize practice makes perfect, but am contemplating partitioning off 'yellow' areas for enamel for future projects.
                        I guess that might present problems as well.
                        -- Oi Stuka , Good showing by our All Blacks-- I think Roko might be the next Lomu.
                        Dog

                        Dog - for those spiders with the Color of eagles, Stuke is probably right, if you can back down on the pressure. the Vallejo paints are a bit thin to begin with with no way to thicken them lower pressure is the better way to go, if you're already at rock bottom try not pulling the trigger back so far... less paint means less chance of it spidering...

                        Good luck!!

                        i like Rokokoko to run rampant ,i believe he'll be in the first 15--we'll shore up the defence as well in classic AB style-- 33-3 to the Kiwis !
                        ( I suppose this is the only posting where 'AB' doesn't mean 'airbrush')
                        Enjoy the match , mate

                        agreed mate, i'll just have to learn to have a lighter touch on the trigger-- think we'll have better luck v ozzie this week if we can improve our tactical kicking!

                        For those spiders try using less thinner as every type of paint uses a different amount of thinner!, or try changing the pressure down a bit ! [if you can].
                        As for the game, it was a bit disapointing about the loss it seemed like we just couldn't keep a good hold on that ball !!!?

                        oi stuka -- tough match, mate ;bokkie looked a bit off sides, but the kiwis seemed to be lacking sure hands---anyway , having some issues w/ the 100 LG creating 'spiders'
                        on the mottling for the FW 190-- i'm using 'color of eagles' paint-- mixed results as overall coverage is impressive for base coat (RLM76) -- thinning the mottle camo (RLM70) @ 3:1 w/ vallejo thinner-- however, overall i'm very pleased w/ the brush -- i'll bet the all blacks will crush ozzie this week!
