I get the best enjoyment with the salt technique. Never seem to have much luck using the hairspray… maybe the wrong type of can. Looks real nice mate 🙂
Thanks buddy. Yep I love the crisp edges of the salt technique. Next is to add a little rust pigment on that tank 🙂
Looking forward to more pics of your car!
Some work carried out today inbetween shifts… love the serenity of model building. Just the start of cabling from what followed on the other day on the Judd Engine. Guage wire is my friend and is very pliable. The plug are from Top Studio and some have been sacrificed along the way…
Here is my entry, Revell’s 1/72 T-90A.

And yeah, I really wanted to do that scheme on Sinanju for a while, haven’t really seen it anywhere. I love the Kshatriya, so I thought it wouldbe fun to do a Sinanju Ver. Marida…[Read more]
Casting texture done. First time doing it, but I think it looks pretty good! The welding on the other hand is horribly out of scale, but again, first time doing it. I think it will turn out fine after weathering.
Next is priming. Base colour will be Dark Iron and over that will go camo.

It’s pretty straight forward.
There are both laser and inkjet water slide decals for sale in most hobby shops
something like this on HLJ.com https://hlj.com/product/MYK06164

Next is to get your image and size it. You can use photoshop or any image editior.
Then you test print it on your printer to check for…[Read more]
Looking forward for it!
