Hey Tim!

thanks brother! The pics are brutal..I think it looks better in person.

the dust is AK Dust- it’s an enamel based product..I thin it like crazy with mineral spirits and apply it as a wash. I also used some colored pencils for scratches and stuff.

 

cheers

Hey all-

I needed a little more contrast between the glare shield and the combing that goes around the edge of the glare shield- a simple rub with Tamiya Oil Stain from their weathering kit “D” did the trick-

busy adjusting the fit of the cabin interior to get the fuselage halves ready to close-

Great Googleymoogley! Every pic you post of this cabin I'm floored! Those figures are amazing and your paint work just brings them to LIFE! I think the most common error I see with figures is a slightly glossy sheen to the fabrics, but this actually looks like a well worn 2 piece flight suit. You can see the danged stitching on their woodlands! And that Harness attached to his survival vest...holy smokes, I want to cinch it down like a torso harness! Even his Belleville desert boots are perfect. 

 

Seriously good show!

Thanks Booger,

I must admit that although I have been bitten by the figure painting bug, I am a serious neophyte and have much to learn-

I do know, however, that paint selection is important for that dead-flat finish you mention. I used Vallejo paints. They brush beautifully with no brush strokes, thin with water, and dry dead- flat.

Also; really well sculpted figures like these are easier to paint to realistic effect. A poorly sculpted figure will always be unconvincing, regardless of how well it is painted...so start with good figures!

Another point to consider- an aircraft is camouflaged after it is assembled, and the camouflage pattern continues unbroken across the panel lines (seams). A camouflage garment, however, is constructed from pre- printed sections of fabric, and therefore the pattern never continues across the seams..so one needs to keep the construction of the garment in mind when painting.

 

cheers
