For edge painting I use artists watercolour pencils,just dampen the edges and run the pencil around,the pencils offer excellent control and come in many interesting colours such as charcoal,brick kiln red,moss green,soot black etc etc,you can either buy them in beautiful sets or as individual items.
Convenient,clean and easy to use.
Johnny,I think your models are just great,it shows in your pictures the pleasure that you derive from them.
You are a true ambassador for card modelling and an inspiration to us all.

Thanks Barry!!
I also uses waterbased colors.
On my other models I have brought with me a part with the color I want to my local colorstore.There they have scanned the color and made an almost perfect match very nice when you have troubles with colors....

So what is the paint type Johnny, oils, enamels, acrylics or water based paint?

Johnny

On the Greif, I have used Humbrol paint and grey schoolpencil.I'm not sure what enamel is....

Johnny

The supporters for the wheels was made today.

First the drawing and the parts to be used.


The assembly of the part is done without reinforcement of any kind....so very careful handling here


Some other parts involved, finished , and the rear "thing"


And here the supporters are mounted.


The inside of the vehicle are finished also (almost) but a few ittems have to wait until the upper part is mounted.

Bunkerbarge

Humbrol is enamel!!

Johnny

LOL there you see....colors is not my thing....

Starting to make the "windows" today.They are going to be movable, and the parts and holes are really small.....even on this 1:16 scale.
Holes are 0,6mm and the rods used are 0,5mm

The drawing and the parts to be used


I also put in a glass instad of the printed one.

Johnny, I'm not sure my eyesight is up to one of these!! The level of detail continues to amaze me.

The level of details even amazes me Richard! And I'm also amazed when I manage to put together tiny items with my "not so small" hands....
The time used for theese operations.....don't ask...

But over to some bigger stuff!
I have started on the upper part of the chassis.
I replaced the printed "net" on the ventilation holes with some painted gaz.
The inside is almost finished.The part 23 is the gunholder and will be put in when it's all assembled.
And working on finishing the "windows" in between....

Johnny

More windows....
A lot of small parts....easy to mess up...and I did several places.
