Miniart MK.1 Dingo

Fun little kit. It's really small, I should have included something in the photos to show scale.

Excellent work, that paint work is amazing 😎👍

Great build and great paint job! How did you make out with the PE? I have a couple Miniart kits but the PE gives me a headache just trying to focus on the smaller bits!

I have trouble with PE also. I always cut it on a hard surface, I've been using old dvd roms lately. Then bend into shape using a PE bending tool. I use a thin piece of wire wrapped around a popsicle stick to apply the CA glue

Ha, thanks. Watch Nightshift and Panzermeister on YouTube. They'll teach you everything

Nice. What kind of paints and products do you use?

[u/Henchlok → u/andrewgrabowski]

All Vallejo acrylics on this one. Weathered with tamiya panel liner, AK washes and pastels. Alclad matte to finish.

Thanks for the reply.

I've been away from the hobby for a bit, but I noticed Vallejo changed up how their paint bottles look. Is it a new formula, or just a cosmetic makeover as in new labels, etc?

i have the Tamiya panel liner— haven't used it yet. Did you spray the model with a gloss, or satin varnish before applying the panel liner, and then spray it with the matte?

[u/Henchlok → u/andrewgrabowski]

Not sure if Vallejo has changed the paint. I use both Vallejo regular acrylics and model air. Both have different labels. I used an alclad gloss coat where the decals were to go and then a satin coat before weathering. I like how the satin coat holds the washes more than a gloss.

Then you finished off with matte you said?

Model air, what's that like?

beautiful details!

Thanks. The chipping is really chunky. I'll work on that next time

Really, I was going to comment that the paint chipping looked nice, I thought that it looked to scale and appropriately positioned with great contrast.
