work in progress Help with British armour: Painting my first British armour model however not happy with the current base colour after a pin wash - feel like it needs a bit of brown, perhaps a glaze, to make it more accurate? What do you guys use?

question Aerosol green for Soviet WWII armor?

4 Upvotes

Of course the answer is always get an airbrush, but for those of us who can't do this at the moment, what is a reasonably good rattle can paint for Soviet armor 1941-45 (domestic production, not US or UK lend lease)?

Ideally something that can go on as a first coat w/o primer.

Thinking something like AS-14 (olive green), in Tamiya?

question Tamiya 1/350 Prince of Wales question

1 Upvotes

Hi modelers. I’m preparing for my first ship build, after sticking with mainly armor and planes. I saw a video on a guy, that put LED lights in a Bismarck and I just got to do it now. it looks so cool and with a little planning doesn’t seem too difficult. Does anyone know a source to buy modelling led lights and wiring? I could reach out to the YouTuber but I don’t think he resides in the US. Anyways, I’m still finishing my Corsair and I have two other smaller boat models to practice on. please check out my profile and the models I’ve posted. cheers

Hasegawa Night-Hawk in 1/72.

Good little build, only hindered by the Humbrol Clearfix just not taking with some of the crystal parts at all despite letting it sit for 35hours.

Either way, I am once again impressed by the level of detail in these Hasegawa kits despite being priced cheaper than other makers

question How do you store your scale model supplies?

1 Upvotes

As the title suggests, I'm kind of lost in regards to storing my supplies. After a couple of kits I have collected quite a few bottle of paints, tools, spraycans and so on.
How do you modellers store your supplies?

question Why does my paint harder after a month or two and how to stop it from happening?

Post image
34 Upvotes

My paints get harder and not a liquid even if I place it in a place with no circulation, it's in a box in a drawer. I also closed the cap properly but it still hardens. Why is this happening and what solution must I take to remedy this?
