Old Collingwood Posted March 17, 2021 Author Share #221 Posted March 17, 2021 (edited) Evening all, some nice work today on the side reactive skirts, these were assembled the primed the other day, today I painted on some thin layers of Nato Green, then after drying I brushed on some layers of dirt wash, I then removed most of this using thinners, then I used the pin wash to show the panel lines - after this was dried I followed up with some dry brushing.

OC. Just make sure they are fully dry before "wiggling" them..... Another thing to consider, one thin coat as a base color and dry brush the rest.... you will avoid most of the paint sticking issues that way.... There is a lot of consideration given to washes but the issues with washes stem from their ability to flow into all the nooks and crannies, a good thing with fixed static parts not good with parts that are supposed to be flexible.... In the end, the overall flat coat will stiffen the tracks anyway, but you don't need stiff when your mounting them....
