I totally agree. In fact I'm still looking into hiring a sculptor to make a master for me. Everything is dependent on "funding" (I'm in the process of...

Hello all; figured most of you are old hands at this - but, I just repainted a Corgi Panther using Tamiya TS-3 (Dark Yellow); I painted it over a black primer...
HI Dean, to be honest... unless you want all them to be the same colour of matters of your own taste I would keep it the Tamiya colour. That one is extremely...
Dean- This is essentially what I said and meant by my post as well. Burkhard merely added the article that I would have. :-) TTYL..Tony On Nov 7, 2006, at 1:59...
Burkhard & Tony: Thanks so much as always; I just bought a can of TS-46 (Light Sand); but I think I'll go back and return it for another can of TS-3 Dark ...
Hi Dean, in the end it is important that you are happy with it. I think you should be fine once you put some camo on it. It would advise you go for NATO-Green...
Hi Tony, it looks like this is one ore of those days where Yahoo takes ages to post the messages. I can not see your original post yet. But I am glad that I...
Burkhard- On Nov 7, 2006, at 6:02 PM, Burkhard Schulze [ www.dhc-wargames.de ] ... ... yea.. I noticed that 'slow drag' too. Needless to say .. I'm less than...
Burkhard: Thanks again for the tips - the Light Sand is going back. :)! ... go for ... closer ... whole ... it was ... within a ... Sand); ... Dark ... ...
Dean- I can't answer your paint question directly, as I'm unsure what would be the right answer based on my paint experience. I'll go do some test strips and...
Tony: Thanks for your help; I suppose it is what looks right to the "owner" of the vehicle. Funny thing is I'm also having a heck of a time trying to get the...
Dean- ... ... Thats what I have done as well. It gives a good 'mixed' dunklegelb look (that Burkhard and I talked of) .. and gives my motor pool that 'Late...
Dean- Trust me ..... The vast majority of modelers feel your pain. :-) These very things are the core subject of hundreds of pages of written material in...
Tony: Thanks again for generously sharing your insight and experience. Thanks also for your too kind words; you're right that I'll probably be the one most...
I plan to airbrush Vallejo acrylics over a Tamiya enamel spraycoated base. Will this work? Or will the acrylics "run" off? This is for the red/brown & olive...
Dean (and the rest of you all!)- I have yet to try this... so I am very interested in what folks have to say about this as well. While I am on the subject.... ...
Tony: I just bought a can of propellant today - I dug out my airbrush which I bought about 5 years ago and only used it a couple of times (with enamel). Hope...
Tony I can't remember the name of mine. I have to find it. Haven't used it in a couple years. If I remember right it was a panche (Spelling?) Bought it at...
Tony and Dean, I have an Aztec airbrush. It is not cheap but I love it for painting vehicles and aircraft. I did teo things when I bought my airbrush. I bought...
I have airbrushed with both Enamels and Acrylics and the biggest difference I noticed is that the Enamels cover better with a more uniform coating, but they ...
Larry Thanks. you reminded me that my filter is a water trap. For the other guys: You want something to trap the moisture when you use a compressor. Sorry, its...
Sorry for chiming in so late guys (and for this being a short eMail). To answer the first question... you have no problems mixing the two even if you paint wet...
Wow; thanks for all for sharing their experiences- I will definitely do some practice "runs" on something other than my tank first. May have to do the...
Dean, sometimes you can 'cheat' a fine line by bringing the nozzle up close to the model. I have used this before when I didn't want to take the time to swap...
Yes I noticed the build up also. But I never painted enough to have too much of a problem. Speed helps with water based because of how fast they dry. I would...
You mean like a dot with arms of paint fanning away in all directions? Too thin a paint and too much pressure is the way to go there. Plus you need to keep the...
