Colours are mentioned earlier but, for clarity I used SMS Dark Earth (PL85/FS30118), SMS Forest Green (PL77/FS34079) & SMS Camo Black (PL33/No FS number) with a light spray of Tamiya NATO Black (XF-69), which I rubbed back a little, over the Camo Black.

Seen directly, without a camera or computer screen interfering, they are quite distinct colours & look fairly close to those used on the BoBMF Lancaster.

So would I!

I like this/these God/s, they don't seem to demand blood sacrifice. It/They may be wood God/s, as I've been touching a lot of that lately.

OK, so I tried roughly the same shots but with a white-ish (cream) background - colours are much better;

Quote from: rickshaw on April 02, 2023, 08:39:48 PMI see you made the turrets removable.  Good.   :thumbsup:

Not so much "removable" as "emplace-able" after the rest of the build is finished. Once in, I doubt they'll be able to be removed without considerable damage to themselves & the rest of the model.

I have this nasty feeling that those gods are going to completely ignore me when it comes to my 50s GB entry  ;D

Second that.  Your camera's software presumably thinks it knows better than life.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

Quite a dramatic difference, isn't it. :blink:

Lots of electronic devices think they're smarter than me, until I hit them with a hammer, after which their opinions don't matter. :wacko:


Not much done on the build today/tonight. Quite a lot of time consuming preparation for painting the little fiddly bits before they go on this morning but I worked 90 minute overtime tonight, so haven't had time to do much of anything.

Same kinda thing yesterday for me to..plans were made and destroyed just as fast ..still tho I got some things done but I ended up helping to build a deck which wasn't on any plans I'd made ;D
Hopefully tomorrow its gonna be a more model dedicated time usage than anything else.

Painted the little fiddly bits this morning (well, more like early this afternoon). Will try to get some of the pre-transfer/decal gloss coat done this eve ... um, morning, before I go to bed.

That way I can leave it to dry overnight, then do the other side (either top or bottom, whichever I don't do tonight) tomorrow morning &, maybe, transfers/decals tomorrow night.
