[Pigments rain]

Hi

This is the easiest way to apply an homogeneous layer of dust

http://www.fcmodeltips.com/2013/07/lluvia-de-pigmentos-pigment-rain.htm





It can be used for a soft effect or a heavy dusting, it only depends on the layers you accumulate.

[Airbrush cleaner, homemade recipe]

For those who use acrylic paints constantly here is a homemade recipe to obtain lots of airbrush cleaner for a few coins. With this cleaner you will keep your airbrush soft untill you need it again. I use it after the main hard cleaning with alcohol or windex, depending on the paint I have used, this recipe eliminate the rests of the solvent you have used before and prevent obstructions.
Just mix in equal proportions water, 96º alcohol and windex.
A better quality cleaner if you use distilled water, isopropilic alcohol and a good window cleaner.
One tip, block the mouth of the airbrush so the air will get out through the paint capsule, cleaning the nozzle the reverse way.

 

[Have you ever sat back and PRICED this hobby?]

I came to that point some years ago, together with the lack of space reduced my inversions to a 10% and I´m still as happy as before, no changes in my modelling life.

[Some unpleasant truths on modelling]

Here is a different point of view, many friends jump each time I tell this.

 

I only enjoy while working with the model, once finished goes to a shoe box, sometimes I give it away and sometimes I have sold them. The point is that I mostly never care about it never again, what I´m really wishing is to enjoy again with a new model.

 

A partial solution for the conserving of the models could be taking as many photographs as possible of the already finished model, they will last longer than the model itself and they won´t change.

[Wood textures 1/35]

Hi

I scaled these wood textures to 1/35, they can be useful if you can´t reproduce the wood grain by hand.

As an example I made a very simple table.

Hi guys

Here is the last assortment of Polish commercial signs you can download.

http://www.fcmodeltips.com/2013/06/t...hops-wwii.html

Lately I´ve been told that a Spanish model magazine is downloading and selling these images through their website, of course without my permission. Please remember and tell everybody that this work is my humble contribution to help modellers to save some money, many friends have helped me with this work which is and will be always free.
