ligtasan Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Question:Does anybody know how to do a good camouflage effect with an airbrush? I've trying to get a grey/black camo pattern on an Armored Core model but so far all my practice paints on plastic sheets have met with mixed results (ie, most of them suck @ss). How can you overlap the colors and make it look like they're blending together? Quote Link to comment

I've trying to get a grey/black camo pattern on an Armored Core model but so far all my practice paints on plastic sheets have met with mixed results (ie, most of them suck @ss). How can you overlap the colors and make it look like they're blending together? Maybe you mean doing a camo scheme with soft edges? What I do is make paper masks in the shape of the camo scheme that I'm spraying and attach it to the model with masking tape rolled so that it lifts the paper slightly off the edge of the model. When you spray the unmasked area, the masked portion will receive a soft or feathered edge. Another way is to angle the airbrush if you spray freehand so you get a soft edge. Another way is to spray thru a dot or some small shaped stencil punched out or cut out from index card or cardboard, holding it a half inch from the model and airbrushing thru that stencil. That will also give you a feathered edge. I hope that's what you meant. Quote Link to comment

Is that fellowship night open to everyone Herr Boelcke? really want to try this, pero pasmado ako eh It's OK to be pasmado, just rest your palms/wrists on something solid if you're working with delicate parts. I'm pasmado and eyesight is poor but I still manage. Quote Link to comment
Boelcke Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Doc, Youd have to shell out P250, but yes, its open to all modelers. And there are a lot of prizes awaiting the attendees, Im told. Quote Link to comment

Do we get something to eat/drink? How was are the nationals doing? Lots of entries? Quote Link to comment
Boelcke Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Doc, Yes, of course! We thought it might be a great idea to have a night out for us local modelers to mingle amongst each other, make new friends. Btw, the Nationals is doing really great! Per yesterday's unofficial count there are close to 700 entries on the tables this year. Clearly a new record! Was there yesterday to judge some of the entries. And some are simply mind-blowing.

Cruzer Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 I was able to visit the show last Tuesday as I brought my suit to The Valet Shop for cleaning. I was in a hurry so I took some hurried shots. Sorry for the poor photos as I only got to use my point and shoot cam in a span of 20 minutes. I was hoping to meet the well respected Sir Boelcke and Doc Pepper but did not know how. Congratulations for the successful event.
