Worked the last three nights with Real Colors and I'm impressed by their workability, coverage and fertility. I thinned 80% with MLT and it still had good coverage but also lets the preshading shine through.
Good to see how well that black basing worked out even with a dark top layer like Gelboliv. And boy, those are drying dead flat!

I thought that the Real Colors take on Gelb Oliv was just too light. But thinned and over the black base it looks just right. It certainly is far lighter than the Revell tin that I have of the same color.
Now between AK Real Color and Mission Models, I think just about all of my armor color needs are finally covered. Almost...

Thanks Mark. Hopefully I’ll have this one done or close to done by the time of the next meetings for IPMS & AMPS.

Excellent. Remember, the AMPS meeting is a week later than usual this month. That being said, you wanna come to Hobby Day?

Thank you Stuart.
Mark, I don’t know what’s up for that weekend yet, so I shall keep Hobby Day in mind as a possibility.
