Ko SprueOne Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 MC - again, I'm not getting email alerts to posts in this thread anymore or I would have replied immediately to this D&D/ AD&D can be very technical if you want to play it that way. It can also be a simple and practically a conversational event around a table of friends. Gary Gygax said that D&D can be played with nothing more than two people as long one of them has a coin to flip. Seriously this is true. We used to go all out with psionic abilities and sht. Don't have to play this way. Like Gary said, it can be played at a bus stop if that's where you're at. Yeah it can get load and fun esp. on a good 'ol cold and rainy night Those figures are impressively painted. I've never got this good at this scale Mr. Inc - I don't knopw how to help you with the lost spring but a good hobby size compressor is an oil less small one with a compression tank. If you can run it at about 25psi, you're good for scale models I airbrush about 1/3 of the time. Like you describe; Sable brush, Airbrush, Aerosol can Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Incognito Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 KO, thanks for the tip. I ended up getting a different compressor for way cheaper. Haven't been able to use it, because now I need to find the right adapter for the Paasche airbrush to hook into the compressor. In the meantime, I picked up a Revell '77 GMC pickup plow truck kit and started with some body work using a Dremel tool (which are awesome by the way) adding in some layers/small holes for rust. I've never attempted weathering/rust but so far I think the body work looks decent, it's not too hard getting nice rusty looking layers in the plastic. I figure the harder part will be proper painting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ko SprueOne Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 I know this kit: http://www.revell.com/model-kits/trucks/85-7222.html#.VGLKLEuSL8t So, you're thinning out the body plastic. (fenders and running board area?) That's some advanced action sht right there! Have you heard of the hairspray or the salt techniques yet? They work well for what you are planning :idea: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bed framed Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Haven't visited this thread in a long time, glad to see you still killing it KO. Seeing the stuff you build is motivating. With winter around the corner, I keep thinking of picking up a new kit. Been contemplating a 70's Chevy van kit of some sort, I figure that would make for a fun paint job. Also, I really hope some day someone makes a BRUBAKER BOX model kit, if they haven't already (I've never seen one) Holy shit I want this van!!!

They work well for what you are planning :idea: That's the kit. Yes, i have seen a couple videos of the salt technique which is what i was planning to attempt buuuuut im a bit nervous, i don't wanna fuck it up too bad. Hairspray technique I'm not very familiar with, I know I've looked it up but I'll get a refresher before I even attempt salt chipping. I'll try to get some progress pics. Funny thing about doing all the body work/painting is I kinda forget I still have to build the thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ko SprueOne Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 . . . d&d life B) That's the kit.

The hairspray technique is similar to the salt treatment but different. Yeah, def post progress pics when you can Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ko SprueOne Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Just completed a trio of T-55 hull based variants over about the last year, off and on. These kits are by SKIF, a Ukraine company. Not the best fitting or accurately designed kits but the subjects on the box art attracted my attention. I judged a book by it's cover and bought 'em (in this case three books) Painted and marked as a Czech Driver Trainer tank ************************************************************************************************************************************************************* Painted and marked for UNMEE service ************************************************************************************************************************************************************ Painted as an SLA APC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ko SprueOne Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Thanks, KILZ FILLZ, I appreciate the kind words. I couldn't comment there and looked for a thread but this is some interesting work: http://www.12ozprophet.com/news/bom-k-aerotik-malpa-collection/ The flesh areas are a little rough but the body proportions are on point. Are the 'cap' heads caps or sculpted as well? At 7" these are slightly larger than 1/12 scale found here: https://supersonicart.com/post/112149122132/bomk-aerotik-malpa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ko SprueOne Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 This is a way to preserve the plastic cover to protect the box art of your kits. List of things that destroy box art: 1) spilled beer and bong water of stupid fckin house mates and their friends. 2) intentionally and malicious casting of spit and paint from a significant other or domestic partner (crazy girlfriends, ok there, I said it). 3) general handling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
