**** DONE: GB-48 1/72 S.M.79 - Carrier & Maritime Patrol A/C of WWII

[fastmongrel]

I have finished the sand base colour next the bit I am not looking forward to the green and brown splodges. I have done a practice and what seems to work for me is paint the shape with a normal brush then go over the shape with a cut down brush held vertical stippling to break up the edge of the paint.

I might well be in a rubber room at the funny farm by the time I finish.

Made a start. I think I will try and keep the painting sessions short so I can stand back and make sure I am keeping my splodges toughly the right size.

Lots of work ahead.

Speedy recovery Stu.

 

[fastmongrel]

I don't think it's Covid19 as I can still taste things. I never had much sense of smell anyway so I wouldn't miss it

Bed and TV watching for the rest of the day.

 

[Crimea_River]

Let's hope not.

 

[fubar57]

Hope its a quick. Round these parts, they've added Pink Eye to the list.

[fastmongrel]

Feel better today so I heroically dragged myself from my deathbed to do more splodges.

 

[fubar57]
