Guys- I'm having issues with my browser- Firefox is redlining CPU usage on my box and I can barely type in the reply window. Any help? I'm writing this in a letter and will copy and paste...
Dave6003: Thanks- I'll have to look that T-34 build up. Cheers!
wyoroy: I'll doa tool line up for ya- and in the meantime be a bit more diligent in labeling stuff. The tool you'll never see is my camera- a Canon SD800 IS. It has a steadicam function and with it's digital zoom I can shoot detail pics on the fly.
Mel Sharkskin: Thanks, comrade- mt Squadron order is on its way. To all: Part of Poland produces a couiple sets for this kit that look absolutely incredible. I'm too far along to add them in, but really wish I'd had them on hand at the start!
Luftwoller: Who builds OOB, anymore, anyway? ;D I'm actually posting this stuff as I go- and I go slowly! Thanks, Maestro!
Jeaton01- Thanks to you, too- and you're absolutely right. It's good to be here in such good company!
claudez- now I've got to go research old toasters! I hate it when breakfast is late- ;)
arki30, Dougums, viper_mp- cheers, fellas- there's lots more to come- stick with me!
Now, the last thing I did after painting was to give the green areas a good coat of Future floor wax. Sprayed without dilution at about 8 psi, it provided an armor plate against the oil wash I'll detail now.
To help emphasize detail and break up the monotone of the base color I applied a wash of dark, brown-green oil paint. My oils are from student days in the dim recesses of the last century- they'll last a long time in their tubes! Be wary of using straight turpentine- it'll eat through all your paint coats!
Next: a matte coat and drybrushing- don't touch that dial!
