If it is some consolation to you: I won't be spraying anything next week because I'm only home ~quarter past seven regularly and will have to throw together something to eat and until I'm done with everything (provisions, cats, anything else
) I would be killed brutally and mercilessly if I switched on the compressor
.
Oh, how do you cats react to acrylics (if they encounter those)? Because mine really don`t care (or mind)
except Siggi if I use Mig colours... there
has to be something in their smell that gets him really high
.
But then, he gets high on a ton of things the rest don't
.
Enough moping for now, it's horribly cold here at the moment and will go down to ~minus 10° by Wednesday...
dooooom!
(If you dear readers happen to be from around a place that's
actually cold, feel free to laugh at me
)
Oh and I did some
actual work on the kit
.
I used the skirt sections as a test subject for different ways of creating flaked paint. Turns out that the "brush way" while looking perfectly decent when seen in 1:1 fails under conditions of "macro-view" - it looks
decidedly inferior to the "sponge-way"
. (you where right Philipp
)
Nevermind though, it's just the skirts and those will be covered in a lot of dust anyway eventually
.
(Also note the "Verlinden-tribute-esque" minor level dry-brushing, something I did
extensively when I started out but if overdone makes things look as if they where cell shaded (that is: looking like 2d animation, might actually do this much more pronounced of I ever get around to building a
Type 61 tank from Gundam or one of the 30s-esque tanks from
Valkyria Chronicles - both actually available in 35th scale... ).
