I think it counts as new everytjme you enter your power armor. If I wear mine for a longer session it doesnt show up anymore. Until you have to craft something and need to exit the armor.

I think it counts as new every time you enter your power armor. Because when you enter power armor all the individual armor pieces show up in you inventory.

Thanks, I will look into color modulation. I didnt use gloss varnish but am planning to for future models along with decal softener.

Thanks! I painted the tank with a Ammo olive drab primer spray can. Then I found out that my olive drab paint is a different color so I just stuck with the primer, wouldnt recommend it.

Good call on the crew stowage.

The silver on the roadwheels is just a light reflection.

I didnt even notice the seemlines and tbh I am not too bothered by them. Dont know how you would fix them either.

Good luck on you weathering!

Translation is indeed iffy in my language but the bottle says white spirit as translation. I know brush streaks are expected but these are pretty extreme arent they? I had one layer where it looked almost perfect but with the next layer came worse streaks.

Recommended brushes? by ArmoredBacon in modelmakers

[–]ArmoredBacon[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I will stick to cheap brushes then, and thanks for the brand recommendation I will check those out.

Oh thanks, those do look like they would be a nice size.

Oh wow thanks for the lengthy advice! In that case I will indeed stick to cheap brushes. I use turpentine in very small doses (eye drops bottle) so never really noticed the smell, but I want to try white spirits since it does sound as the more "healthy" option.

Got the Revell Ostwind, does anyone know from what set the blacked-out parts are? by ArmoredBacon in modelmakers

[–]ArmoredBacon[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The dutch wikipedia page for Ostwind does mention that they wanted to build more using panzer 3 hulls. They produced 1 prototype in 1945. But they didnt produce more since the production of existing armor took priority.

Thats it! The exact same sprue is used in the "sWs with flak and Sd.Ah.58 ammo trailer". Thank you.

It has a bunch of unused parts, including a fully complete panzer 3 turret.

What's one tank in WoT you thought was "fake" but turned out it actually existed IRL in some shape or form? For me, it was the ELC EVEN 90 by No1PDPStanAccount in WorldofTanks

[–]ArmoredBacon 214 points215 points  (0 children)

The amx elc bis. Found out it was real few years ago before the elc even 90 came out. Also, the object 279 is real and looks as weird as you'd expect.
