You're more than welcome! Just make sure you get the brushes with the pale bristles. They look more natural & take paint better than the nylon bristle type.

mmm I can feel a 'how-to' coming on!

Hi Patrick Ive seen a modulation vid on utube and i was wondering if you masked off the seperate panels?

Seemed like control overkill and i was just wondering if its nessersary.

[Guest]

Aaron, I did mask off some panels. They were the hatch ring, the turret viewports, the equipment box hatches & the front upper hull. You can see the results below:

The finished pics are done, so I'll post them tomorrow.

Cheers

Thats exactly the masking i was enquiring about, seems a major part to the teqnique.

The done and done pics are wicked especially the painting of the black panzer uniforms. Mean.

I think the masking & highlighting is important Aaron as it kinda ' lifts ' those raised areas & adds to the depth of the finished model. It's a bit like drybrushing in a way.

Thanks for your kind words mate!

Cheers
