I can't paint for shite, but as I can't drive to Nelson to ask the Überdruff to paint it for me, nor Brendon Lean (hopefully he'll post on his techniques at some stage), I got out some masking tape, a few brushes, drew a halfway line with a thin marker and had a go. For once I got more paint on the target than on me and my clothes.
Told you I can't paint for shite. I used Model Master colours: Insignia yellow, insignia red and gunship grey lightened with some white. Still looks like shite though. Still, after some touching up, its starting to look half-decent from about three and a quarter feet away. And they say you can't polish a turd.
Enough of this painting nonsense... its way too hard. A little more touching up and it will be time to put some signage up on the sides.
Turd or not you're doing well to mask anything in that scale!
ReplyDeleteStill like the newer scheme better though......
Spotted 5108 at Upper Hutt yesterday, freshly painted.... mmmm
