Modelling and Miniatures / Re: He-162 A-2 Salamander
Last post by JudgeDredd - Today at 11:49:56 AMThanks guys. I love it...I genuinely love making them but I do get stressed when it comes to painting them.
The correct paint/thinner mix. Too runny, you get spidering. Too thick you get a blocked airbrush.
Then masking. And what bits to paint first "logically". I find it all quite stressful...but also really enjoy it.
I also have the Bismark in my stash. But that's a big bugger so I'm leaving it as a retirement job.

I did make one carrier before. It was the U.S.S Ronald Reagan I think. Turned out really nice I thought. I enjoyed making that.

I think that is actually what makes the model.

Last post by JudgeDredd - Today at 05:44:33 AMFINALLY...got some more progress on the Salamander
As soon as I did up the airbrush, I had a blockage...it's that kind of thing that gives me hives when I'm thinking about getting back to it. But...I soldiered on
Painting is my most stressful part...I love it, but hate it also. I have no idea why the airbrush decided to not spray. It was cleaned properly before hand. When I did get it cleaned, it was sputtering.
In the end, I had to revert to my trusty Iwata TRN1.
Got the model primes and then the blue underside done. I decided not to "push it" by applying masking tape to the freshly painted area on the same day to paint the upper side - but I am ready for the next bit. Heeby Jeebies have been set aside...until next time
