Looking good Jim!

Although I am not particularly a fan of the black base method, you have done a great job with it Jim. I look forward to your progress.

I love the depth of that paintwork, that is exactly why I am experimenting with the black base methode.

wow, that is some really neat paintwork

Thank you dear sir and madam.

Laid down a coat of gloss to protect the decals then broke out the Ammo panel line washes. All I can say about them is....best investment ever. They flow amazingly well and don't seem to separate at all. The only downside is that in the course of applying them I did need to seal and re-shake the bottle a couple of times. First world problems...


Here is the grey designed for RLM 76. It's perfect to my eye. It adds the wanted depth but isn't too stark at all.



I applied them as above and let them dry a few minutes. I shot the hairdryer at them to speed things up. Wiped things away with a makeup sponge. I did two applications. If I were a little more patient one application would be enough perhaps. I will give it longer to dry next time.

You can also kinda make out the brown used over the RLM 04. I used that on the RLM 79 too which worked well. (No pic)



I'll let it dry and then I'm going to throw more gloss to seal it in and work the decal film flush with the surface. Then on to filters.

Wow, this finish is very eye-catching. Beautiful work, Professor of Death...
