Dave, the Walfisch is absolutely first-rate!  Your paint work is
wonderful and your diorama is just gorgeous.  Up to your

Cheers Ernie.
I will be more involved in a months time when we move and finally get internet back.
Where we are at the moment is a dead area, and that is why I have been 'quiet', if that
is possible with me  ;D.

Cheers

The 'scumble' finish is not really documented, as with th ecorrect colours (no surprise really)
So it was best guess and see what looked ok. The 4th one did  ::)

So what was the "mix" you used ?--looks great !

90/10 Tamiya Flat White / Deck Tan (thinned 70/30) airbrushed light coats.
Then Tamiya Light Blue / White 80/20 (thinned 70/30) stippled on with and old brush very gently in
a random pattern. But, most of what it actually looked like is all conjecture anyway, so if you do it,
do whats pleasing and looks right to your own eye. Thats the fun.

Cheers my friend

Really a delight to view, Dave. All the kudos are certainly well deserved.

Can you talk just a bit about how you did the seat? The wear on it is wonderfully convincing.

Thanks Michael, it was a variation on a theme really. The seat was primed in light grey (I always use Tamiya acrylics), then the parts that were going to show wear were painted on by fine brush using Deck Tan (you could use any whitish colour). Then I lightly airbrushed coats of Red/Brown thinned quite a bit, some thicker and darker than others (shading where required). Maskol covered the worn bits. Then once satisifed I removed the Maskol and buffed up the bits of the seat where the back and the butt go (for the obvious reaons). That basically was it. Follwed it up with fine shading, so to speak, with a
fine brush.

Cheers

Dave

OK,  thanks for the tutorial. Very informative and makes total sense. You definitely have a good eye and an ability to make things look  convincingly realistic, and, and scale!

Cheers from NYC,

Er...Dave?  He doesn't like being called "Mike", mate.  Upsets his delicate New York sensibilities.
Cheers,

PS, Dave.  If I didn't say so before, you've outdone yourself with this diorama.  Detail laden beyond belief.  I love it!
