Thanks, im off to dinner!

 

[Wurger]

Thse are of ModelMaster/Testors palette.

Bon appetit !!!

 

[B-17engineer]

Thanks Beret Green is WAY to dark.

 

[Wurger]

I think you have to add a few drops of the yellow paint.The ratio of mixing 3 drops of green : 1 or 2 drops of yellow. Try to ..please

 

[B-17engineer]

.. okay.... I will try but, what do I use as the dropper? A normal eye drop type thing?

 

[Wurger]

Yes it can be too but you can use a long nail or a toothpick as well.

 

[B-17engineer]

Okay... give me a second. I'll try.

 

[B-17engineer]

Looks pretty dam close 8)

 

[Wurger]

Yep... but more light please if you can do that.

 

[B-17engineer]

Be right back..... lol

 

[B-17engineer]

Best I can do, suns going down, this is using my desk lamp

 

[Wurger]

That's better. Looking very good. How many of yellow drops did you add?

 

[B-17engineer]

3-1 made a little amount so I upped it to 6-2 same ratio....just made more paint. Thanks! It works haha !!

 

[Wurger]

It's OK. You did very well with the amout of paints.If the colour is still too dark I suggest add one more drop of the yellow paint. So the ratio will be 3:3/ Also these ModelMaster samples seem to be a little bit olive in tonality.So I would suggest to add one small drop of red paint.

 

[B-17engineer]

Okay, when I begin can I do that, or should I do it now?

 

[Wurger]

You can check it now if you want and have some free time.

 

[B-17engineer]

I can go check now...... let me get the paints and tooth picks

 

[B-17engineer]

Bit dark Wojtek.... I used 6:2 with the green and yellow and then a drop of red....it looks like the first one nonetheless
