Tomek22 Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Here are some pictures of my NATO Ground Crew wich are indeed very british...It is a very nice set. I have painted them with some new colors. Although I have used a matt varnish it seems to shine glossy. Hmmm, whats wrong?/media/tinymce_upload/44a1e74af615de4ffdaf8573d2738edc.JPG/media/tinymce_upload/9b70b805bc70dd336d0529a18f7fa152.JPG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenneth ONeill Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 You haven't stirred the varnish enough to get the matting agent back into suspension?FWIW I always use acrylic matt varnish, although I use enamel gloss, and am happy with either for silk.

Tomek22 Posted April 19, 2019 Author Share Posted April 19, 2019 Here are the last two. I am not satisfied with the colors I unsed. I think I will pait a couple of the again in my classic way.Also the faces are to pale./media/tinymce_upload/fea7e7355ec606bd5e8f0dd54328cf45.JPGThe aerial of the radio is far too thick, I think. In my next batch I will change this. /media/tinymce_upload/9cfcc5434f07c176ba41a5294062ebd8.JPG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenneth ONeill Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Well, yes the aerial is way too thick; If you can get it, 5A fuze wire, or a single strand out of a piece of telephone cable would be better.As for the skin tones, they're based at Lossiemouth and only see the sun about 5 days a year! ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomek22 Posted May 31, 2021 Author Share Posted May 31, 2021 Currently I make a "re-do" of my NATO Ground Crew figures. Far away for a perfect paint job, but much more better than the figures I paited before in this post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
