Country:  | Catch is right! Be prepared for 30% preparation, 40% practice, 5% actually spraying, and 25% cleaning!!!
You'll like it when you get used to it though, but don't forget, brushes are still there for many jobs, the airbrush for effects, large areas and finishes. | |

Country: | Some nice shots there Lucky. Plenty for the serious scratch-builder to go at, although it would probably take as long to build some of the servicing kit as it would to build the model aircraft!! | |

Country: | For sure, I love scenes like that. A reason why I like model railways, all those every day scenes.
I'd love to combine 2 ww2 bomber bases from the USAAF and RAF, a RAF fighter base and a model railway. I'd need a lot of room

Country: | Depends what scale, PB. But one of the easiest ways is to use 'Milliput'. Don't know if it's available in Canada, but it's a 2-part epoxy modelling putty. Equal parts are blended together, and it can be made into any shape, moulded etc. When set hard (and it IS hard!), it can be tapped, drilled etc. For large-scale sandbags, mould each one to shape, angle required etc and, before set, press some fine gauze onto the surface. This will leave the impression which, when painted, looks convincing. However, in most scales, including 1/32nd., I wouldn't worry about the 'texture'; this would not be that noticeable, and could be replicated by applying the paint relatively thickly, then stippling with a stiff brush when the paint is still 'tacky'. (Matt enamel paint is better for this technique, as acrylics are a bit thin.)For lots of bags, such as a pile, or a wall, just use a 'sheet' of the putty, and 'mould' -in lines of bags, perhaps finishing off with individual 'bags' on the top layer. Hope this helps,
Terry. | |
