with anyone but me….
Hey… I have been a busy little bee (as Nero once said)..
I have spray painted the tigers… the king and the IE… the king was painted too wet and I will need to respray it as much or the exposed edges are still grey.
I also spray painted all the Sherman tanks… that’s 2 command tanks plus a 105mm Sherman and six 75mm Sherman’s.
And I have laid base putty on the rifle platoons that hadn’t been based… still have the Airborne troops to base tonight.
so I have some 18 bases done last night to add to about 32 odd already done.. just need to paint the bases and flock them and they will be done.
The Shermans buy the way look excellent… I think I will stick to a olive drab green finish over all… I was thinking of doing the brown colour??? but I’m not so sure.
Things learnt:
Don’t mix spackle to vigorously or it will become aerated and shrink when drying.
Liquefying medium is terrific as a way of making your paint spray paintable and go further. A very thin coverage of this stuff mixed 50/50 with paint colour over two coats is excellent.
However I always add.. paint retardant (1 drop) and alcohol 5-7 drops to the 5 fl oz cup on the badger.
Always add a little more paint to the dry wall plaster that you think you will need as it whitens down a lot after drying.
