Greetings. I am absolutely new to armor modeling and I’ve just received this wonderful kit as a gift.
From reading online resources, the thing that I should definitely pay attention to is replicating slip-on coating, which is a texture not included in the model.
Are there techniques to replicate this surface effect? Also what are some good resin kits and add-on etched detail parts I can acquire.
All your help will be appreciated.
It is a very nice kit, but does need the anti-slip, as you already noted. Here is my technique using Rystoleum Texture Spray. http://www.armorama.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=SquawkBox&file=index&req=viewtopic&topic_id=50656 As far as resin, it doesn’t need any. Eduard makes a few decent general PE sets for it, as do a few others like Voyager, Lion Roar, etc… I don’t think it really needs more than some nice PE mesh for the stowage baskets.
Thank you for that, it seems very helpful.
In the event I don’t find terra-cota rustoleum, are there other alternatives?
Never mind I found cans of it. It’s pretty cool, it sprays nice on top of plastic. I’m going to try to find a pattern for applying coats over Italeri’s M109A6 Paladin (which coincidentaly was repackaged by Tamiya).
I use Liquitex Artists’ medium with sand, but Gino’s method is much better for the finer, US anti-slip, and easier too.
There are other brands of texture paints available, my local ACE has them in their own label cans now.
How accurate would it be to install Duke antennas on a post-2007 TUSK 2 build?
