thierry laurent Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 A section of cheap gypsum wall sheet is a solution to depict concrete parking zones. If present, remove the paper sheet with hot water or a steam iron. Glue the other side (with contact glue) on a wood plank. Scribe the seams and possibly add cracks. Then, paint, weather and add fuel oil spills. Finally, fill the engraved lines with black acrylic gel paint in a large syringe to simulate the tar seams. And you get an airfield micro area!

red Dog Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Speaking of which Any idea where to get russian style tow bars in 1/32. North Star had them oop it seems, is there another supplier? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Airfixer Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 (edited) Since the 1970s, the precast PAG-type (PAG-14/PAG-18) prestressed concrete slabs have superseded the old unreinforced hexagonal type. PAG-14/18: PAG-14 dimensions: Prior to sealing the joints, the lifting loops of adjacent PAG slabs are welded together in order to safeguard proper slab alignment: You could cut the slabs from cardboard or construction paper and glue them on a plywood base. Apply one or two coats of wall paint primer to seal the surface, paint the slabs, fill the joints with black acrylic gel. Weathering according to taste, et voilà !

red Dog Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 (edited) Thanks Vandy, I read that in your initial post but i wondered if it is available as aftermarket somewhere, as i don't have the mig-29 ub and need a couple for variuous russian projects Edited March 12, 2018 by red Dog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have always felt like for a diorama, some three-dimensionality really helps with the realism, but admittedly I've never used one of the printed ones.

richdlc Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 (edited) I use artists' mounting board, scribed into appropriate shaped panels and covered in very find grade sand. Attach with dilute PVA glue, spray grey, weather et voila! in my opinion, no pre-printed base will ever do the job. It looks like what it is - printed card Edited March 12, 2018 by richdlc CANicoll 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
