Hi Jason.


With reference to the camo netting....


I cannot claim invention of this technique, that credit must go to Ingvar-sylegrd. I have adapted this for my use.


I purchased some craft tissue in peach colour. I mixed some PVA glue with 5 parts water and brushed the mix onto the tissue until it was absorbed.


Once dry, I airbrushed the tissue to the required colour and pattern.


I made an arc cutting tool out of some brass rod, with which I cut a pattern into the tissue. I was then able to stretch out the tissue.


Forming it to the barrel was done by re-wetting the tissue and gently making the shape of the netting by wrapping and stretching. Once the water dries, the tissue holds it shape quite well.

Superb! plus all of the above, just built 1/35 version, "British Bulldog" and I thought THAT was rather a large piece, but 1/25 must be areal monster! :eek: Bravo! Splendid job!

 

[Weeman0000]

Thanks for that scuff! Good way to hide any seams on the barrel or to give a really nice ambush look :D


[EDIT] Got some glue and paper £3.20 for the lot! Guess ill be making more than just a barrel cover :D


Thanks again, its all these cheap little extra's that just make the whole process more awesome for a first time modeler like myself.
