Melting. 42 degrees Celsius or 107 degrees Fahrenheit. Yuk... Anyway. I didn't start tonight until 11pm as I needed it to cool down enough so that my air cooled compressor didn't melt 🤣 And yes I have killed two others that way lol. Remember last time when I said the brown was a preshade for the top coats? Well here we are.
Above is the tank just as I start. I paint a very thin mix of Model Air German Yellow or dunkelgelb to start of. The idea is not to completely cover the burnt umber paint layer below but to have the top coat semi transparent.
I work from right to left. I can add additional layers later to decrease the affect if I wish.
Here is the turret with the same process.
Above with the burnt umber. Below starting to paint.
And the next one with one coat completed.
You need to be careful when doing this as spraying very thin paint in multiple layers tends to make the surface a little rough for later. But that is fixed with a clear coat. 👍 Shhhhh trade secret. 😂
Here you see after a few layers. Just the look I am going for. After it dries I will start on the highlights.
Thank you for stopping by. I hope you like the progress. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me.
