with gin to steady my hand, and a whole lot of fecking masking.

ack.  :wacko:

see, its the lizard that's been putting me off building may viggens in my life - i mean, i can build these things but i paint like a bepper...still, its my DUTY to make a fight of it and do what i can...

ack ack...  :wacko:  :wacko:

i've been nosing around various model sites, and they all mask and spray, and then remask, and then make a smooth finish with varnish...nothing new there, just a bit fiddlier for lizard then regular cammo i guess...

i'll give it a shot...  :huh:

better get a 1/48 or 1/72 viggen though first...it'll be a bit too tough for my 1/144's....lol...they'll just be basic colours i think... :P

Swedish splinter camo is easy! well, not exactly, but my Forsvarsmakten Merlin is almost complete and I hand painted it all in Vallejo acylics... if you were doing a 'proper' Viggen or whatever, you'd have to make sure you got all the colours in the right places but in What If land you can just freestyle it!  :rolleyes:

for real Swedish camo I think they are painted dark green, then black, then mid green, then sand. Just use a fine-ish brush and keep the paint quite thin and outline a section at a time before filling in with the rest of the colour. Just make sure you get nice straight lines & sharp corners...

y'see it's easy...

:huh:

Quotey'see it's easy...


ah, you SO funny!!  :ph34r:

ahem.

sure thing mikey - we'll see, we'll see....i'll be giving it a shot though, i feel i HAVE to.

*considers it*  :huh:

i'll still need gin i think.   :cheers:

and maybe some music to steady me - today's recommendation is Red Morning Light by The Kings of Leon...great stuff!
