Very instructive, Stian :thumbup: Thanks for detailing the technique you used. I have a Challenger 2 that has been waiting in the wings for nearly two years; but it will be an even longer wait considering the backlog of tanks I have building up :|
You have quite a unique example there, I'd have to say... :O :D

Thank you all for looking into this little build :thumbup:

With a few products you can make fine 'speckling' on your model to get even more interesting 'look'

Very informative and effective tutorial Mr Mekker :thumbup:
How does the Mig product secure to the surface after drying ?

I assume you use some sort of sealer ?

I seal the paint with varnish, then as I go on with weathering I kinda just leave it on with no further due. it sticks good , and stays put

tonights work

sorry for missing the question

it took a little while , and carefull drytesting before I popped the glue out . Did not want to make any mistake .
I also made an extra support brace , since I thought the area wich I could glue on was not enough

used 15 minute( ore was it 30 min ) z-poxy glue ( 2 part mix)
