I've read and seen on the YouTube vids a technique to put a drop or two of flow improver into the paint cup with your conditioned paint. Opinions, gents?

Old Collingwood Posted September 3, 2021 Author Share #1413 Posted September 3, 2021 Evening all, I have a bit of progress with my build (needed to keep my mind active) What a way to start the day don't know if I mentioned but my brother had been poorly and had sent 3 months in hospital just after Christmas, ant way this morning we had a phone call to say my brother had gone missing and had not been seen or heard from in nearly Two days, so it was a case of ringing around different people even the police were involved, cut a long story short he was found walking the streets confused and dehydrated - the police took him to the nearest hospital where he still is being checked over. My understanding his he was possibly walking the streets through the night. My life is not dull - that's for certain. So back on with my build - the 2nd KGL had the shading and the slight pink details done to their faces and a wash to the hands, then the hats and Green jackets painted - then the haversacks and belts were painted.

I am still picking up ways of improving the faces - sometimes I use more or less wash that settles in the groves and eye sockets, and also using a combination of colours to shadow/highlight the different parts of the face - same with the cheeks giving them a slight pink glow - its all about trying different shades to nail it.

Old Collingwood Posted September 5, 2021 Author Share #1423 Posted September 5, 2021 Evening all, I had quite a productive evening for a few hours - I decided to get my airbrush/spray booth out and started by Flat top coating the last Three finished KGL, I have a very good Acrylic Flat top coat called - Ammo by Mig Ultra Matt Lucky Varnish it is in a tall bottle and even has a ball bearing inside for shaking it, its been fab so far whaen brushed on - however I was realy supprised that it was even better when misted on using my airbrush. I was soon getting used to the dual action and the finish was Superb Dead Flat. So I thought why stop there - so I got my box out containg my 50 odd painted figures and set about spraying these with the Flat coat. I was finding I could do Three at a time with the metal pot on the airbrush about 3/4 full, as soon as it was empty I would wash it through with some cleaner and plain water - then continue again - took me about Three hours to finish all of them. Loving the airbrush.

Old Collingwood Posted September 6, 2021 Author Share #1424 Posted September 6, 2021 Evening all, some more progress this evening - remember those Three 2nd KGL? well I took them off their bases then put them to One side, I got the base section near the pond and worked out where I wanted to place my new figures - this required some planks making up and stacking together to give some height so they could fire through the holes in the wall, so my lolly sticks came into use - cut sanded glued then a Brown coat followed by a Black was - then my dark wash finished of with a dust dry brush. These were put to One side while - "Those bricks from the wall" were made into a little pile - glued in place then painted. Then the Three figures were glued in position - looking quite busy. OC.

Old Collingwood Posted September 8, 2021 Author Share #1430 Posted September 8, 2021 (edited) Evening my fellow - very patient followers, some more progress on my build - I am working on the ground plan, this is taking some testing and shaping to get all the buildings and walls to lign up, i got the main section in supported by a sheet of paper underneath, then a bit of putty was put in a few of the gaps and painted over, i also put a couple of water puddles in the corners from the rain that ran down off the roofs, I will do the same - paper trick underneath the front sections before putty and paint - then there will be some washes and dust dry brushing.

Old Collingwood Posted September 10, 2021 Author Share #1436 Posted September 10, 2021 Evening all, some good progress - the complex (apart from the garden shed) is now fitted together and the joins in the floor filled with putty and painted, I had to put a slither in a gap close to the main gate - this was then painted and dry brushed, it still needs a couple of washes over the floor and dry dusting. The grass area received some attaention also - the grass blades were coming out so I brushed over s watery PVA mix then weathered it a bit using some datk wash to simulate a dirt grass from lots of rain. I have included some arty pics to show some different views. OC.
