MrWolf Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 This dog hated brightly coloured cyclists (Middle Aged Men In Lycra) He would ride around for miles in my open top sidecar, like some badass Wallis and Gromit according to my then girlfriend. But I used to have to grab his collar if I overtook a group of MAMILs. 2 7 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's got that proper WWII airfield look about it. Morning Rob, Thank you. The concrete is DAS. I spray with an initial coat of Humbrol acrylic grey, I think it was 64 maybe..........as a base. A few previously posted images but any excuse............. Other colours are then really dusted over such as Matt black and dark earth, very very lightly. The main textures and colouring comes from weathering powders. I shade the 'cracks' with black then soften this with 'smoke' and create a 'vignette' effect around the outside of the panel. Some 'dark earth' and 'sand' are added here and there and then 'white' is added to the centre and all is then blended in. It takes a while to do whilst making sure each panel differs from the others but it's worth it. You can also scribe the DAS to add some detail here and there. And a bit of static grass here and there helps. Same principle was used with the concrete platform for Mutton. Rob.

Midland Red was divided into four companies before privatisation. Stagecoach initially purchased Midland Red South; Midland Fox was originally Midland Red East, and was rebranded while still independent. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
