What's on The Workbench (4 Viewers)

I use the pipettes for mixing very small amounts of touchup paint. The syringes can be used many times over and once you get a few models under your belt, you know exactly how much paint/thinner to mix. The 1ml syringes are into 10 sections which are again divided. I'm a 1:1 mixer so when I just painted my one colour camo Fw190, I used the 6 mark for both thinner and then paint. If more is needed add small exact amounts. Any left overs I use to practice mottles, squiggles and free-hand. I just flush out and wipe with water for cleanup

do you mix in the airbrush cup?

do you mix in the airbrush cup?

Yessir. Thinner first and then paint, stir for about 15-20 seconds. (I'm a firm believer in over-kill) My airbrush came with two needles and cups. I use the smaller ones most of the time

Awesome Jan!

Thank you kindly good Sir....

Get new decals at some point, as the kits decals are shot!

Nice work Jan!

 

[fubar57]

Looking very nice Jan. I think there's room for two more MGs on that Jeep. Those SFs guys sure liked to keep their clock covered

What markings do you need Jan?

Is the jeep LRDG or SAS?

 

[A4K]

I think it's the Italeri SAS Jeep.

 

[CATCH 22]

I think it's the Italeri SAS Jeep.

Yep, you're right: that's their "Commando Car", the European SAS jeep. I was wondering why are there no Jerry cans on the hood, but that's a different model.

Indeed, it's this one....

I need to check again to see what it came with, maybe I don't need any....

 

[A4K]

Yep. LRDG Jeeps would be covered in jerry cans!

Clashed posts Jan... good stuff mate.

When I saw this as a file for 3D printing I thought it was a nostalgia kick. Why print 3D on a sprue. It turns out that splitting the parts
as in a model kit allowed this to print with minimal supports. That saved a lot of plastic and print time.

The assembled truck in the lower pic is not glued. The parts are modelled to clip and fit. The scale is unusual as it is 1/64 so I may try
it scaled down to 1/72. The winch and fuel cans are not on yet but the rest took between 5 and 10 minutes. Might be time to mix up some olive
drab and see how it goes.

Impressive work good sir. I'm impressed especially by the desert Jeep because I'm always like those kind of vehicles. I've always been a big fan of the desert warfare the sneaky kind of things that the Jeeps have to do it looks really good thank you for showing.

In another 5 years, 3D printing may make a big part of the plastic hobby world.

Already is.

 

[pinehilljoe]

Already is.

I use printers at work, and we had some very good printers. At least for me, I like opening a box and going to it. Right now, I'm not looking for another hobby to print kits.

When I said"already is" I'm talking about the amount of stuff that's available to purchase now. Sure some folks have them and do a lot of work. But I have several trucks in 1/35 scale all 3D. Lots of add ons etc…
