A morser named karl... Dragon 1/35 54cm Morser Gerat 041 :WIP 5 - chipping

Updates..

The campaign ended last couple of days ago... and its already completed.. but to keep the WIP thread going.... i'll post some of my progress :)

Using the hairspray technique... i start doing more chipping on the Morser

this is addictive... looking at how the paint being chipped under the brush.. and i end-up overdoing it at some places. :D

and below are some photos i took using the photo booth i bought with my brother.. :) very significant clarity to the photo.. :lol:

and this is the photo booth setup

next will be the completed photo.. :)

UPDATES 

- as the due date draws closer so does my build...

last week manage to paint some camo on the karl. starting with the green camo as per below.

somehow i think the camera adds some light and make the camo a bit bright as what it suppose to... i need to think of a better photography setting...

Overall Paint

And to test the hairspray technique.. i test some paint chipping on the walkway around the Morser.. also from the photo below... some rusting on the exhaust.. )

The chipping of the Hairspray looks ok to my eyes.. maybe need to scrap the paint off a little more...
and paint chipping is addictive.. might overdone a lil bit if not careful..

next will be the sandy-brown camo..

until then

updates...

a few updates for my Karl.. after the base color... i coat the whole kit with a coat of Hairspray for the paint chipping effect.. 

and after the hairspray dries... i start with the color modulation (at least i try) on the first camo color.. the sandy yellow.

i think all this paint modulation will get covered by the subsequent layer of camo. hmm.. at least i tried the paint modulation :D

on to the photos..

and all the parts after the paint modulation attempt..

until next time... the camo paint... :)

over the weekend i manage to paint the base color for the morser..

and it used a lot of paint.. luckily this is on the base color...
let see how i'm going to cover all this with some dark yellow....
 my color stock going to need restocking soon.

on to the photo...
i used the combination of a few color for these.. mainly dark grey..

Sorry if the image is a bit dark... need to somehow make a proper shooting booth for this...


i'm going to use the:
H66 - Sandy Yellow
H47 - Red Brown
H80 - Khaki Green

ohh before that.. a layer of hairspray before the sandy yellow.. for paint chipping purposes..

and also with try those Color Modulation techniques.. :)


until later..

Started this for the Armorama "Big Guns Campaign"...

so far the build have been very kind to me.. not much problem on the build and fit is also very nice..

I'm building this OOB and since the kit come with a fret of PE i'm going to use it as well..

The mandatory box art..

 and this kit is huge!! one of the biggest kit i've in my stash...

the part before surfacer.

 so far i've completed the build and already primed with surfacer 1000.

parts layout will be as above... and i'm going to be painting them separately beginning with the track, the exhaust, and then the main hull

at the end i'm hoping to be able to get this scheme on..

 big task ahead as i'm not very good at weathering stuff...

as usual.. C&C welcomed..

and the due for the Big Guns Campaign is end of March 2014... so i better hurry.... and i put all my other build on hold for the Morser
