@johnamartini.bsky.social#scalemodels #histscalemodels Looking for advice on weathering. My latest effort is a 1/35 US halftrack, and I'd like to make the undercarriage look like it's seen some road miles. I found the attached photo of an overturned big rig and want to simulate the dusty gray-ish finish. Hints appreciated!
@janondroushek.bsky.social#histscalemodels In last few days i primed, sanded and laid first two colours down. I have a problem with decoding the correct colour for the camo and how to lighten it for 1/72. The kit box says bluegrey, but when you start digging, you end up at medium gunship grey 🤷 Not blue at all... #ItaliaGB
@shanepowell.bsky.socialMade a bit of progress with my #ItaliaGB build.
Most of the interior is done. Not sure how much weathering to do to it.
I painted the inside of the engine compartment black as you can still see inside it from places.
@garethe68.bsky.socialMasts and yards done. Little tip - modellers often run thread through furniture wax to get it to hang more realistically and dispel any fluffiness. I've discovered that if you use a coloured wax in a very dark brown, it imparts a great depth of texture for realistic looking rope. #histscalemodels
@justalpal.bsky.socialSo....let's open it up.....bit of a bleed but pretty good! Bit crappy but I'm not complaining! Not too bad for amateur hour. 🤔😂👍👍🍻

@stefjn.bsky.socialAnd the one and only Monk Bar Model Shop. Watching them patiently helping out a customer with tins of paint, they clearly have good customer service.

My first entry for #ItaliaGB within #histscalemodels
@bandwevil.bsky.socialStaghound base painting and decals done. Tried to keep the colors somewhat varied so that it doesn't get too monotone after weathering.

Be there or be square.
@rhysmakestanks.bsky.socialAt some point when I eventually get round to building my damlier dingo, I know exactly what I'm basing it off. Actually went to the spot where this pic was taken when we were in Normandy. It's a little village called Salenelles, just south of the merville battery.
@chetario.bsky.socialI unboxed the 1/72 Grumman F6F-5 Hellcat from #Heller I picked up while in Speyer.
There is also a Silent chill version to put on in the background.
