TreehuggerHrm, I have this Iwata HP-CS Eclipse 0.35 airbrush and I am stressing a little when trying to airbrush on some camo (without masking). I didn't want to use masking tape and I don't have any camo goo to spread over as masking either.
Like with my other attempt with this other tank I think I have to airbrush on desert yellow over the darker colors and try correct the shapes of the camo. The big part on the side and the wheels arent' glued on.
I've never done this before (I used masking tape the last time I worked on a tank), I think I have to make sure the Vallejo Air paint is thin, and then try lower the psi way below 20 psi and try get close to get a crisp line when airbrushing. And I don't want to take off my needle guard to get closer, as I don't want to bend the needle tip, again. 🙂
I didn't want to make a WIP album for this, just another side project.

TreehuggerQ: Might it be a good idea to draw on some lines for the camo pattern with a pencil, or will the pencil shine through the camo paint? Anyone tried that?

TreehuggerI think I can reply to my own question here.
I think one might as well use a single camo color to outline the pattern for all colors, and then because the paint is thinned out, the initial pattern will easily be covered with more layers I think. I wish I thought of this earlier. 🙂

gorbyI think the camo looks quite good. I've never been able to spray narrow or sharply defined lines that I see others doing so I can't help with that. I have tried using pencil but found I had to go well over the line to hide it completely as the edges of the spray aren't as solid/opaque. I only tried it once, I would do it again. When I need to have sharp edges on camo i usually use either Blu-Tac, masking fluid or brush painting if I'm feeling lazy (which is quite often 😳 ).

TreehuggerDoes blue-tac leave any fatty residue behind after being removed after a few days? I have a lot of blue-tac around iirc.

gorbyI just thought, some modellers consider White-Tac to be less oily than Blu-Tac. I've never had a problem with the blue one but if you are concerned it may be better to try the white version.

Jennifer FranklinThere is nice detailing on the engine; overall, the car is nice, too.

Jan PetersThanks mates.
Although I'm a petrolhead, I've not built many car models before.
My son is a big fan of racing cars in general, and old Japanese cars in particular. He has asked me to build this one for him.

Jan PetersThe pictures are of the real car, I have not yet started with the model 😉

Jennifer Franklinlol, in that case following, you had me super impressed with the car photos I thought were a model build. I though you were that good. Some of the mates on here are that good.

Mark DeBackerUnder conversion to M60-A3. Treads partially converted (hopeless?)

Mark DeBackerHave original box, but other kits stored in it. This kit is in one of the yellow Kodak boxes.

Mark DeBackerIt's partially built, but quite low on my priorities list. Not sure all the parts are still present or in the same place. It has been over a decade since I looked at this one.

… my Sherman spare wheels box … and this is what’s in it even without the two sets of alternative wheels from the kit I’...

gorbyI think you win this weeks prize for most heavy duty modelling tool. 😄
Looks a very interesting conversion.

Jakko > I think you win this weeks prize for most heavy duty modelling tool. 😄
Probably, yeah 🙂 It's a metalworking lathe, so a bit overkill for just turning down the seam on those wheels, but I didn't feel like aching fingers from scraping them down with a knife — I get those even when I hold them in a modelling vice, never mind just between my fingers.
> that kind of set up can tool a real bogie!!
Having seen a disassembled Sherman bogie up close, I must say I think this one is a size too small for that 😉
