MarderMania --> Round #7

Gents,

Very little time for making models lately, ,so miy model is slowing down a bit because I had to attend other urgent things on my workbench in the past days. sad.gif

Anyways, I advanced a little and I applied some decals and primmed accessories too. It is strongly recommended to use (read abuse) of specific liquids for decaling as Tamiya decals are always great in printing quallity and definition, but decal film is a bit thick too. As for details and accessories all were primed with Vallejo Acrylics and a fine brush. Although someone can think that is hard to do on a fully assembled model, the trick is to go little by little to paint every part carefully.

Okay, nothing exciting, but I am moving after all. happy.gif

I hope you like how it goes.

...of how you keep your paint bottles so clean!!!! Mine look...well used! After seeing your nice, clean bottles I think that I will be too embarrassed to show mine any longer.

The Marder looks nice as well.

Vallejo all the way! happy.gif

I don't know if you ever tried Vallejo Model Color with Ajax (window cleaner) as a solver on your airbrush. It works really nice!

The only problem with Vallejo is the Dark Yellow colour....it's sooooo weird and different from the Tamiya.

No secret to keep the bottles clean. It happens those are just brand new. happy.gif happy.gif happy.gif

I never tried that new Ajax Thinner happy.gif you mention, but maybe in the future... wink.gif

if there's the "Ajax" brand on your country, but any regular window cleaner liquid will do the job wink.gif

Imagine what you save with a bottle of Vallejo Model Color. You can make almost 3 of Model Air Color. happy.gif
