Eri Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 It is so tedious to work with the decal and the figure. I m having second thoughts on my EOD diorama. Ordered the Talon operator and a talon robot. So i thought i try the digital camou decal on a loose figure while waiting for the arrival of the stuff Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HeavyArty Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 He looks good to me. I have been thinking about getting a set of ACU decals as well. I may have to give them a try after seeing yours. Where did you get them from? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wege Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 It looks okay to me too. Is the guy in a dusty environment? Anychance of wafting some sandgelb or something similar over it to give the ACU that worn look. I think that the sand/dust would also blend it in a bit. OTHERWISE... Nice.. :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HOLMES Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 I think the figure looks VERY GOOD. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nice.. :) Wege, Can you advice me more on how to use this sand thing? I bought some pastel powder thing sometime ago meant for my Humvee. Since i wasnt familiar on how to use it, i didnt use it at all. then i discovered flory/promodeller wash... and that was the only wash i know.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's easy, just take some dilute sand color paint and lightly spray it over your figures (very lightly and from a distance, you may want to practice a bit). The effect is to add just a touch of dust, it also does a great job of muting some of the brighter colors and unifying the entire camo pattern. I use this trick quite a bit on my armor builds.

Wege Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 ^^^^ what he said. While I am familiar with the theory myself, I don't even have a spraygun at all! I am still experimenting with washes and the like... mind you, I mostly work in 144 scale rather than the nice stuff... sigh Quote Link to post Share on other sites
