I agree Matt, I sat there with my mouth open on some of those dioramas.... This shot blew me away....

And Russian soldier standing to the left makes it. That was beautiful. A little too much rust, but fantastic concept and execution.

 

[Screaming Eagle]

[Wayne Little]

Thanks Guys, bit of work still to go though...

 

[Catch22]

Very nice Wayne! How did you get such clean lines? I always get a bit of overspray.

 

[A4K]

No worries, Les, hope it all helps!

Look forward to seeing yours when it's finished too, Wayne

 

[Wayne Little]

Very nice Wayne! How did you get such clean lines? I always get a bit of overspray.

On this job 50/50 paint and thinner about 30psi or 200kpa, slow and careful working out to the edges of the pattern. There are a few spots of minor overspray to correct with another thinned 'spot' application to fix. Currently i'm preparing all the bits'n'pieces to fit, cables and tools etc.
Catch you just have to get your mix right ,your pressure right and it takes lot's of practice, I still DO stuff it up sometimes and then you have to go over the colours a second time.
Keepin' at it A4K, I,m actually juggling a 1/48th F-15 build as well and preparing to start my Fw190A-9 of Erich's cousin. so more pictures coming soon.

 

[A4K]

I know what you mean, Wayne! My 1:72 Me 323 is temporarily on hold while I try to find detailed info on the interior of the wing, and in between I'm doing a UH-1C Iroquois for a mate, aswell as an RNZAF C-47 Dakota for myself!

 

[Catch22]

Thanks for the tip Wayne, once again, looking great!

 

[Wayne Little]

You're Welcome mate, and A4k I'm juggling with the other hand a Japanese Kate torpedo bomber and Raiden Interceptor! I need more hands...

Turret numbers on the tank and a gloss overcoat done tonight to seal the decals, first flat coat tomorrow night.

 

[Wayne Little]

Bit more progress, Decals on Thursday, additional gloss coat to seal on Friday, followed by 2 flat coats today.
