As for wishing you had an airbrush they are ok but if you use a make up sponge you results can be quite close or better depending on what your doing. For example a makeup sponge can give quite a nice casting effect. And airbrush not so much

Will need to try it with the makeup sponge! Done some highlights before they disappear in the shading and weather :haha:

You know. I have never really bothered with highlights and stuff. I just sort of go at it till I’m happy with it. The kv1 was painted 3 times before I got to a point of that will do

Started the weathering, very early stages. Slow process I guess, happy with the results so far 8)

Also got some ‘Mud’ from the Vallejo range, dries hard so need to be very careful and think hard before applying it :D
