Great dio idea. I'm in.
Paul, that's a very high accolade your putting out ..... humbled, indeed .... a culmination of books ingested at the time..... Still in the bookcase.... and the dio on display in a case....I'm in mate. Your ultimate cost dio is still one of the best I have seen.
That's a new one on me. I'll have to try your coffee - milliput mix. It's certainly worked well.coffee and miliput superfine white lol..... Smearing it out with flat smooth tools dipped in water
Thanks Jim, second stage funished and having another break, looks rough but i think thats the character of it, better than a strictly uniform PE or 2D decal kit.That's a new one on me. I'll have to try your coffee - milliput mix. It's certainly worked well.
Joking aside the zimm looks great. It will look superb under paint and weathering.
Jacko, I've use water on miliput for years, I'm rolling it out between greaseproof paper to about 1mm thick, cuttng a piece, putting it in the middle of work area, wetting it and spreading it out, give it a few mins to dry then emboss..... it seems to work.That’s looking good, though rather you than me doing that with Milliput I’ve found much the same technique but with putty from a tube to work well too.
The thing is that I have a strong aversion to using Milliput in general Only the white kind is sort of usable at all, IMHO, but difficult to mix because of the colour.I've use water on miliput for years
I have a few Panzerwrecks books, and yes some applications look like they were done during bombing raids, put it this way ..... I wouldn't want to slide down the glacis.....Certainly looks very realistic Nick. All the aftermarket zimm I've come across looks too neat and complete. I'm sure in real life it wouldn't last long before it became damaged.
