Paint brush challenge. Never ends EVER

kustommodeler1,

 I like the idea, I guess I am one of few who don't own an airbrush. I just saw your post...I have a half finished Italeri's Puma in 1:35.  Any chance I join with it? If not, that's OK, I'll then join when I get something new.

Cheers...

I do a lot of my stuff with a brush too. About the only models I regularly paint with a spray can are cars. I do have an air brush (I've had it about 10 years) but never have really gotten the hang of it.

These were painted with a brush.

I would potentially be interested in a brush only GB.

Hey you guys , Is this challenge still going?

OK folks, the Corsair is finished, here she is. All colors brushed, freehand, no masking." /> The decals in this Revell re-issue Monogram kit are awesome too. They are very high quality. You can clearly read every stencil.

 

 

 

Come on folks, ready for stress relief? Just grab one and smear some paint!! Sure takes the edge off. This one helped me. Now I can tackle the 1/500 photoetch on my Revell Saratoga!! 

Wow! Your finish looks like glass, impressive indeed. I agree 100% that everyone should drop the airbrush for a build now and then to 'get back to basics' and relearn forgotten skills. The girl friends kid and I are building a Panzer IV, well he is and I am just helping him along. Its his first build and I would like him to complete it with a brush so he can appreciate the basics before breaking out sprays. Maybe I will enter him in this GB, I can't as my NMF P-51 is somewhere 1/2 complete and needs a big effort to finish by the deadline of May 1st. With the contest season soon upon us I would like to enter it in a few as well.

Thanks Suppressionfire for bringing this one back up. I had almost forgotten about it, and gave it  up for dead. Anyone can still join it's end date is NEVER!!

The original rules on page 1 still stand, with even the scale request removed. The only requirement is FUN!! ----build whatever you wish- car, ship, plane, train, sci-fi, you name it.

Just remember- no PE or bmf...

For everyone who posted since I last did, those are some good looking builds!!!! Keep them coming

Wow. It's been almost 3 years...

Is this still going on

If so can I still get in

Ooops, I almost forgot about this GB. And myu Puma has been finished for a while. Here are some pics...

Cheers...

I might just enter this with my DH Mosquito NF MkII, give me an excuse to actually finish it. Ive decided to go gear up since the gear in the kit are so utterly rubbish. Just gotta work out some way to mount it on a stand.

Saw this thread last week and thought hmm sounds good but I didn't have anything I wanted to sacrifice incase I have issues. Took the kids into a toy shop last friday and they were selling off a bunch of kits that had been lost in their storage basement (some looked lost for 20+ years), so I picked up a 1/72 Italeri F-4S for $10 that I thought great fun this build, cant get to building right away but in 3 or 4 weeks I'll post some WiP shots

Well heres the start, no actual paint yet but better than nothing.

Andrew

castelnuovo that looks great!!

Scorpiomikey bring on the Mosquito!!

Konigwolf13  the Phantom is fine, load that brush up sir!!!

And anyone who still wants to join can, like the front page says, This never ends! Its the Official stress reliever of the plastic modeling world....

heh, funny thing about that. i kinda finished it before i got any WIP shots. I can post completed shots if you want?

completed shots are just fine.

In the words of the immortal Hawkeye Pierce- " The mortar merrier!" HA HA HA

Have to dig around the stash,and see if i've got subject material. Hmmm

Thar she blows, The image on the stand is the squadron logo with creation and disbanding dates. The stand is from a Zvezda Mig21PFM kit (which is also brush painted) Let me know what yall think

Suhhweet!! Looks great. Cant wait to see your next one.

Well heres my Mig21, all hand painted. (except the decals of course)

I think I may join this group build. I have 3 in the works, so it'll be a while before I can get started (hey, the deadline is never, so I can participate and build as I please)

Let's see now: I don't have any kits I can do for now, but I may be able to go to Michaels (since I have a 50% off cupon) and get the Revell/Monogram 1/32 scale MACK pumper, as well as a Testors 1/72 scale F-4U Corsair of my own.

Yep, I guess go ahead and sign me up. No garuntee on an end date

Oh, by the way:

I have really never used brushes that much for any more than small (I mean, small) details, leaving almost everything else to spray cans ever since I started building (as long as I could remember)

Would that be O.K., or is it 100% brush painting?
