is pencil colors good for painting the straps in a 1/35 german wwII figures? are there any techniques that you can recommend? Where in the philippines can I buy those miniature trees for dioramas, I’m already checked out the hobby shops here and they dont sell those things. tnx a lot guys
jedi_mike,
I have not tried using pencil color to paint straps. I use a very fine brush (or chinese brush) to paint such small/narrow details.
For ready-built trees: Try 2nd Floor Bldg B Megamall infront of the escalators near the restrooms. They sell railroad kits and also trees. However, these are very expensive about P200 per tree (4 US Dollars).
Suggestion: There is a hobby store in Makati Cinema Square (forgot the name) that sells foliage and static grass. I big bottle costs about P450 (9 US Dollars). This is enough to make you lots of trees but of course you have to do the trunk and branches by yourself. Check also some arts supply stores in Quiapo you can find some really interesting items there used for architectural scale model buildings.
thanks dwight, you’re a big help, by the way where in quiapo because I stay near that place? tnx again
