Pic 3 is my favorite! Absolute well done!!!

Holger Kranich
The wooden structure, oils or uschi van der rosten?

Dirk Heyer Автор
Oils, because Uschi van der Rosten don`t catch the scale 48 very well.

Hallo Dirk!

Für mich ist es immer wieder ein Genuss zu sehen, was du aus deinen Modellen rausholst. Sensationell!

Beste Grüße aus Österreich!

@ Metodi:
1) I paint all little items with my paintbrushes "minimajestic" from Royal & Langnickel Size 20/0 to 2/0
2) I use only Vallejo and Games Workshop Acrylic Paints
3) My technique is the conventional layer application up to 3 or 5 highlighted and shaded layers of the basic colour. It is the same technique as we use for figure painting.
4) I accents all different details with a black line of "Black Glaze" from Vallejo to emphasize the dimensions.
5) Last step I applicate a thinned layer of the basic colour. High diluted.

@Guus, Markus and Stefan:
thx for your compliments, and the link of my article! 🙂

@ Stefan:
Mensch Stefan, dass ich DIch hier treffe! 🙂 Das letzte Mal wo wir Kontakt hatten, war das nicht im MIA Forum?? Das ist schon wieder so lange her! :/

Gruß

Hallo Dirk!

Ja, MiA ist jetzt etwa ein Jahr offline. Ein paar alte MiAner tummeln sich aber hier auf scalemates. Mein Bruder Helmut, Christian Meyerhoff, Gunnar Bäumer (aber das weißt du ja), Arne Greve und vielleicht noch ein paar mehr, von denen ich bisher aber nichts weiß.

Es wäre sehr schön, wenn es noch mehr würden.

Liebe Grüße!

Stefan
