You guys are killing me with the Solvaset and decal talk...


Kenny, this one is really looking good with the decals on now.

Thanks Carlos!

LOL! Solvaset for the win! Panzer looks killer, Kenny! Red on Panzer Grey is a good look.

Thanks fellas. I started dry brushing this afternoon. That’s going to take a little while but that’s okay. I’m happy with the direction this project is going.

Results from dry brushing on Der Schnappër’s turret!





I use Model Master Dunklegrau enamel for this job.

MODEL MASTER RULES. Congrats, brother. Magnificent work.

You ain’t kidding about that paint my man. That paint is fantastic stuff!

Rock and roll man! That is sensational!

And yeah, I love Solvaset. I call it "the nuclear option" when it comes to stubborn decals.

Duke, I’d agree with that assessment. The way that stuff made the decals conform to my Zero’s instrument panel blew me away. And I was using darn-near miniscule amounts of the stuff applied with a tiny brush. I can only imagine what would’ve occurred had I used the brush that comes with the stuff and didn’t wipe any excess off before application, that’d be like dropping Russia’s Tsar Bomba whereas my method is more like tactical nukes used sparingly to soften the target up gradually LOL

Dry brushing continues:





Slow and steady. Like a turtle.
