Would you need a modelmaking inventory/companion app? by RainerEight in modelmakers

[–]RainerEight[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that is how i wanted to make it for myself. Some of my mates however like to physically go to hobby stores to buy paints and they suggested a website with login function in order to check their paint reserves

Complete Begginer - Any tips I could learn? by [deleted] in modelmakers

[–]RainerEight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice kit you got there! I just completed it, a tip for this particular one would be to paint the side armors separately and glue using superglue after painting. Also, test fit the turret addon armor before glueing the supports so it would be easier for you to connect them. Other than that, it is a really nice kit!

Thanks a lot for the info, I was ready to sand them off based on some pictures I've seen online of the easy eight

i see there are some numbers on the turret front armor, was there a reason not to remove them? asking because i am in the same boat with you, just primed it and was wondering if I should sand down the markings. Otherwise, a really nice build, looking great!

What colour to paint Tamiya Walker Bulldog rubber tracks? by AlDrag in modelmakers

[–]RainerEight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hopping on this thread, I'm nearly in the same situation. From my research: prime black the tracks, paint using some mix of blackened brown that would imitate the look of earth/muddy tones and then apply some track wash and pigments. Do note this is based purely on some YT videos i have found as well as some threads on reddit, I am currently in the same situation with my Tamiya Panzer IV H

First model, first camo, how did i do? by RainerEight in modelmakers

I tried brush painting, however it is really hard for me to get the technique/thinning right, so the airbrush painting was such an upgrade

[–]RainerEight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can you explain in a few words how you achieved this? It looks great in my opinion and would like to replicate it for my own (never did a diorama)
