Re: Jnewboy Customs ~ 4 Cats
That's an incredibly well-organized work space. Now I keep my work space pretty neat, and people have sometimes called me
Now I'm not sayin'...
Oh-Oh, now I probably ruined it. And here I was hoping that, even though I have had success with your Magic Grime, have watched your video, and really like the stuff, I was hoping that you would show its use on these builds.

Thanks! Glad to see you guys didn't give me up for dead!Herr Dr. Professor wrote:That's an incredibly well-organized work space. Now I keep my work space pretty neat, and people have sometimes called me

The new setup took about 3 days to set up but I have to know where stuff is, otherwise you spend most of your time digging.
Yes I will use Magic Grime on all three Jagdpanthers, its just one step in weathering but it does most of the work!

Re: Jnewboy Customs ~ 4 Cats
That is an amazing work space! And tackling that many tanks at once is sure ambitious.

Re: Jnewboy Customs ~ 4 Cats
Good Morning!
I'll be watching your MG application results. Considering doing the same on my current Jagdpanther 'Panzer Spirit' build.
regards,
Painless

Re: Jnewboy Customs ~ 4 Cats
Wanted to show you guys one of the Jagdpanthers, this is the one from Aberdeen, these are the first colorized photos taken. Its a bizarre camo pattern, I'm going to put some light whitewash on the Dunkelgelb then the more dramatic brighter white stripes between the colors.

Re: Jnewboy Customs ~ 4 Cats
Here is an upadate, I used cement pigment to soften the colors and then added the white stripes.
Here is a pic of the gun untouched to show contrast.

Next is tools, decals, Magic Grime, sideskirts and then tracks

Re: Jnewboy Customs ~ 4 Cats
Interesting: I am not familiar with "cement pigment." What technique is that? Do you mix plastic cement and pigment? The subtle results look great!
Also interesting, something I missed until now: "...turning 70 one month from now, so the clock is ticking!" Now that's ominous , especially for one "of a certain age."

Re: Jnewboy Customs ~ 4 Cats
I just meant cement colored pigment, comes out off white and works well to fade colors together. Happy early Birthday! Age is how we feel, especially about the future, not a number!Herr Dr. Professor wrote:Interesting: I am not familiar with "cement pigment." What technique is that?

Re: Jnewboy Customs ~ 4 Cats
Ah! I will get some cement colored pigment a.s.a.p. What a clever modeling trick!
