Looks like paper model making isn't that new.

I'm on a roll! more paint on the Churchill. I mixed up a dark Olive Drab colour by adding black to Tamiya Olive Drab, 50:50 and sprayed at low pressure along all the plate joints and hatches. I sprayed the mixture around the turret ring on the hull and the undersides of the trailer as well. It looks a bit stark but that is the plan. Next up some highlights and lightening of the upper panels and hatches. I'm looking to get a stark contrast between colours as the filters will draw the colours together.

it's been ages since i have managed any model making of note. So here's a post from earlier today. I bought a new airbrush at the Scottish National show the other week and finally found some time to try it out.
Here is the first coat onto a Churchill. It's Tamiya's old offering of the Crocodile version. Built last year and undercoated in black. I've used a mixture of 3 Tamiya paint to replicate a light Olive drab that the British used. Dark and light coats will follow to make a slight modulation. I built this tank specifically to test out more paint techniques.
