Hey Bohrmann... Hope you're enjoying the paintwork as much as I am... Happy modelling mate...!

Villiers de Vos
Nice work on the modulation.

Ben M
Yeah really cool. I like to add X-22 also. Seems to help it spray better and be a bit more transparent of course. I also find I can decal without a gloss coat usually too. Then I put on a flat coat.

Eddy Marshall Author
Chees Ben... I use X22 mostly to ensure the colours are fully saturated and don't change when overcoating with varnish.Transparency I tend to control via reducing the paint more (ie adding more thinner) but it certainly assists with paintflow... Have fun bud... Don't just collect those models...! #nightshift

I find adding too much thinner gives me spiderwebbing so if my paint gets too thin I add a little x-22 to thicken it up while preserving the transparency. I'm enjoying watching your post shading technique.

Nice 1-0-1 into the spanish style of tank coloring. I like where you are heading at.

Neuling
High end modelling on display ........

Eddy Marshall Author
Cheers Michael... Yeah opted for bright and cheery on this one... I know it's far from accurate but it's pretty close to one of the reference photos I was using... The brighter the better... Once you take you model out from u per the work lights all this hard work tends to disappear...

Villiers de Vos
Very nice work.

Eddy Marshall Author
Cheers Neuling... Don't know if it's high end but it's certainly coming to an end... Lol... Appreciate it mate... Happy modelling....

Mr D
Very nice 👌👍

Eddy Marshall Author
Thanks Villiers... Almost there mate...

Eddy Marshall Author
Cheers Mr D...!

Mr D
AK paint is very good 👍 lve been using lately along side my Vallejo set , lve been using ICM paints lately too "Highly Recommend" never by Ammo clear... it's horrendous never dries and can be rubbed of with wet finger tip.
Like the Paint job here ... very authentic 👌

Eddy Marshall Author
Cheers Mr D... I'm a little concerned over AK's Enamel's shelf life... I think that goes for most modern Enamels though... But they seem to work nonetheless... I do use ammo nut only they're Enamels too... Not heard of ICM paints... Don't think we get them here... Cheers for the props mate... Happy modelling...
