Ju-88 C6 dio progress.

Hello chaps,

work on my Ju-88 continues and today I got the canopy glass on and some pre-winter camo paint too. I have had a go at building a German hard standing area and wondered if my wooden planks look OK.
Eventually, this will be a winter scene so the grass will be covered by snow and I will give the planks some weathering to simulate frost, if I do a decent job on the aircraft, I will add some accessories and figures to the base. Let me know what you think so far.

Regards,

Darren.

Looks really nice, Darren.
Say, to simulate frost, Perhaps you could spray a rattle can flat coat on the planks at a distance so the stuff dries before it hits the surface… That makes it look pretty frosty.

Thanks! Your idea for the frost sounds good, I might try that. Darren.

I learned that one the hard way. I was painting my P-47 and needed a flat coat so I went to the LHS and got a cheap rattle can. Whoops, guess it was a cold morning…

Looks good so far!

I accidentally found out how to simulate “frost” today. I wanted to make my homemade flat coat flatter and mixed in a little to much Tamiya base to my Future and thinner. Needless to say, a late fall dio would be a great setting for my M4A1.

Glad you like the look of it so far, sorry to hear about your accidential dicovery. I’m glad of the advice though, thanks! Darren.

She’s looking great, Darren. You’ve really accomplished a “worn-in” feel to the colors. Keep posting your progress.

Thanks Mucker, I have never finished a twin prop aircraft before, so I’m hoping this may be the first of many. I am having fun with this one and experimenting with diorama techniques at the same time has proved very interesting. I can’t wait to get the winter camo scheme on this one, I hope it turns out the way I want it to. Darren.
