A little bit behind again this week, chaps. Busy week with assignments and such. Pledge, I guess, is to weather my Panzer IV. All the details and decals are done, just needs a bit of beating up in the paintwork now. I might put up a project log of the basic paintwork later this evening, but I might save it, too. Not all the decals are on there, just because I do HAVE the schurtzen (my apologies for a misspelling) I just left it off for painting and didn’t prime it yet. It will have the numbers on it, though.
As for questions…
1. When painting do you start with a plan in mind for your color scheme, go with the flow, work off reference material, enjoy the look of grey plastic/metal to much to ever cover it, etc?
I usually ALWAYS work of reference material…sometime to the point that I will delay painting by months or more just to get all the details that I inevitably can’t fit onto the mini at the scale I have… I am not a fan of metal minis, mostly (shock horror!) and if you leave them un-primed they do start to oxidise somewhat…
2. What’s your favorite month and why?
Don’t have one. Time is time. One moment is the same as another.
3. Do you have a permanent spot to hobby at, setup and tear down prior to getting your craft on, have a mobile station to take your creativity on the road, leave a trail of rubble in your wake, etc?
I have a small folding table that I work on. I got it for drawing diagrams and sketches on for school…then immediately took it over with hobby…I do need to sort out my supplies a little better…
Here’s the Panzer IV, thus far:
Went with a cross for the aerial identification, for reasons.
