Ahehehe! Its perfectly okay, Doc. We all deserve a reward.

 

Btw,

 

See you guys in the Nationals! Ingress happens on Sunday, November 23, 2008. The exhibit/contest formally opens on Monday, November 24, 2008 and runs until November 29.

 

There will be a fellowship night for all modelers on November 28, at 6:00pm onwards at the Wack Wack Golf Club.

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?

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.

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.

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.

Congratulations to IPMS BAC! I hope this means the hobby is alive and flourishing here.

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. Here are the pictures:

Love your own. These are the best.....Biased ako. Don't get me wrong these are not my models but I love them because they are relevant to Philippines.
