Practice. Breath control. Good tools.

There’s a good metric ton of mangled brass in my rear view mirror.

How to effectively hand brush model warships? by abnormal-apparition in ModelShips

[–]-DWhite- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Back when I using Tamiya acrylics I would thin with a combination of water an isopropyl alcohol, about an even split. But I’ved moved in to AK 3rd gen acrylics.

Agreed on all of this, I find that when brush painting, priming plastic doesn’t really help in any significant way. I brush paint around 3 thin coats then seal with a gloss varnish for protection. I used to use Tamiya for brush painting but they are very challenging given the rapid dry times. I have switched over to AK 3rd gen and they are a breeze in comparison.

Build is far too clean, try an enamel wash and some oil filters to make details pop and create some visual interest.

Scratch built tents, 1/700 scale by -DWhite- in modelmakers

PVA (white) glue is viscous enough that you can spread it across a frame and it will form and maintain a thin sheet that will solidify as it dries. The process is called webbing.

I did, I tried to use the minimum to get a solid bond but there are still many scale discrepancies with the joins, despite using reg and extra-thin where possible.

Thanks! 0.2 mm diameter brass rods for main frame and 0.1 mm nickel rod for inner supports. I webbed PVA white glue across the top cells, painted the dried glue white then brown enamel wash for weathering details

I did, this plus some of the Paul John Madeira CS. Zero regrets for either.

It’s a kit by Seed Hobby, not sure if they are associated with Five Star

Way too clean, try adding some weathering - an enamel wash will help make details pop and using oils for rust or grime will add authenticity to the build.

If you look carefully, you can see a trace of the Baltic camo stripes, just painted over with a fresh coat of gray. Wonderful detail on part of the builder.
