@ Thank you, Laura

@Luiz, my good friend, how are you? Thanks for you comment!

Noel

Wow! I love it.

Thanks for the little wash SBS

Hi Noel,

I would leave it as is, it looks too damned good now to mess with. Of course, if you think you can improve it, I also believe you know what you are doing, So?

Whatever you do, I'm sure it will look as great as all your work does! My biggest problem in modeling has always been to know when to stop, so I can sympathize!

Bob

So true, Bob! No matter the experience or the pattern of technique one uses, it's always 'knowing when to stop' that's fundamental!

@ Richard...thanks......glad you liked it!

Noel

I might to some painting in the weekend and this is the camo. I' going to follow. No whitewash!

Noel

Yesterday (Saturday afternoon) Tancred and myself got together for a modeling session!

Tancred did some work on his BT-5 and I gave a base coat of paint to my Wespe..... we later went to see and art exhibition and now are trying how to juggle between modelling time and art time! Apart from models, Tancred, like me, also paints in watercolour.

At my House. Tancred on the left. Note no beers on the table!

Hehehehe I see your Wespe has a similar mask to mine .

While the wife is away you have taken command of the dining room table , lucky you have put paper down .

Jenny

i have some questions now:

- where have you hidden the beer? under the table? in the cupboard? in the corner of the table that is covered by tancred?
- who made the photo?
- i see you use a H&S evolution ... which one?

to your wespe: this camo will look great on your model and no whitewash is a very good decision!

At the moment I'm airbrushing the Wespe and stopped for a small break... and before my 14 year old daughter wakes up (she's here from Italy to stay a while with me) and takes over my computer!

Well, actually the beer was there! Non-alcoholic, though


We set the camera on timer

The H&S... fantastic airbrush! It's the Evolution 2 in 1, comes with x2 needles and x2 cups.

...off to spray the green lines........ never did such camo

Noel

Home alone and this is what I did:



Looking ugly


Base coat again


Played around with a couple of tones



My nightmare! Adding stripes!



Well, hope yo like it ....... I'm off to eat.......eemmmm paint some chips!

Noel

Excellent looking camo Noel ! Now all that lovely weathering !

Jenny

Hi Noel,

This is indeed a nice paint job, I'm looking forward to the next steps

cheers,
André

That's some beautiful tonal paint work !!!!

The spagetti camo came out just fine , looks great .


I'm not 100% sure , ........... but here in the states there's a law or something , ........... or maybe you need a doctors prescription to drink non alcoholic beer .............................

I must admit I was a little shocked ............

Well, Glenn.............. I follow Islam as my religion I was born Catholic but converted to Islam in 2001...... Yep..I stopped the alcohol!......Look at the bright side..I can marry 4 wives!!! ....wait .....hang on now I just remembered that my wife made a condition when we got married (Islamic marriage) that I can't take another wife whilst I'm married to her ... Muslim women can do that you know!..... now she spoiled the fun for me!

lllllllooooooooooooooooooooooooooolllllll

Well, it's a small sacrifice I had to make, but it was worth it, nothing better than seeing Noel at work in person.

Maybe next time I'll get my own beer.

The cammo came good for you. Looks like you are onto another great diorama Noel!

you know that you still have the backdoor of mead? mead isn't forbidden for muslims!

and four wifes means four mothers-in-law ... i don't think four mothers-in-law are that desirable! better think of having had a lot of luck having only one!

camo stripes may be your nightmare but they turned out excellent! your wespe's becoming better and better!

Hi Noel,

great painting and a subtle Camouflage. I wait for the next photos.

Regards Olav

Great paint job, Noel!

It is always nice to put a face on those I talk to! So now when I post on your's and Tancred's threads, I know what you look like!

Cheyenne, I think that non-alcoholic beer comes under the twenty third amendment to the constitution, strictly forbidden!!

Bob

Noel , ............ I was just kidding , ............ actually I don't drink much either , ......... diabetes [ sp ? ]
Although I do push the limit sometimes , .............. old habits

If you've seen the movie SAHARA with Bogie there's a very cool scene with the GI from Texas and the south African Tambu [ sp ? ] , ............

They're in the well and the Texan says to Tambu " I hear you guys can have four wives "
Tambu answers " Yes this is true "
The Texan asks him how many wives does he have .................
Tambu answers " Only one "
The Texan says " What's holding you back ? "
Tambu answers " If this was true in your country , ......... how many wives would your wife let you have ......................... "

Glenn

Great start on the paintjob. You did a very fine job on the camo

@ Tancred….. take my advice… non-alcohol….. you can drink as much as you like and still remain sober!

@ Laura…….mead? I think it’s made from honey and water and fermented with yeast!….eeeeeh…… no can do!

@ Thanks Olav…. You can see more pics below!

@ Thanks Bob…I’ve been meaning to change my avatar into something like yours!

@Glenn….. one wife is more than enough….. so I marry one at a time! I was married to an Italian now a Libya…. next……….!!

@ Thanks Richard!

Light chips

Dark Chips

Again Noel,

You're chiping is one of the best I've ever seen, the light and then the dark chiping gives it a sort of depth, don't know how to say it correctly.
Think I going to give it a try on my StuH! Thankss for the SBS!

Regards Erik

Dear friend Noel.

...thanks a lot for this excelent painting sbs...your "chipping way" is just stunning...I love it!

All the best!
