Panther G Work in Progress 2

Hi guys, just a quick update on the progress of the Panther G platoon.

It shouldn't take too long till they're finished now, I just need to weather the last 4 tanks, but need to find the time between projects.

 

 

Cheers,

Panther G Work in Progress

Got my hands on a box of Late War Panthers without Zimmerit, so thought I would try my hand at some Airbrushing. I decided to use the AK Interactive stuff. I plan on doing the Panther in an Ambush pattern Camo.

Mid War US Armoured Recon WIP

Hi guys, onto my next project this year. I plan on getting my Mid War US Armoured recon painted up. I plan on basing the infantry as if they are advancing down a street, with walls either side of them. 

All the boxes and blisters. Already assembled most of the vehicles.

Plasticard and lollypop sticks attached to wooden bases.

 

The lollypop sticks give a raised platform for the pavement and building.

One of the 4ground ruined buildings that I assembled

After sawing some of the building up.

Cheers for looking,

Salt Masking Tutorial

Hey Guys,

Been asked by a couple of people for tips on how I did the salt masking. Since pictures paint a 1000 words thought i'd do this as a blog.

Hope people find this helpful. Any questions just ask.

Once your model has it's base colour ready, use a liquid mask over the decals.

Just standard Rock Salt

Pour out a little bit and grind slightly.

Once ground, add a small amount of water so that the  salt sticks together. (do not totally dissolve)

Using a brush apply the salt to the tank.

Apply extra water with a brush if needed to help the salt stick.

...and that's that :)

Hope this helps guys, and that it makes sense :)

Cheers,

Manny
