Tamiya's 1/48 Ju-87 in desert cammo.

Post by RedRoo »

:DI: This model was done some 20 years ago and I used "silly putty" to create the cammo pattern. :writing:

I first sprayed the model with the kaki green, I then applied hundreds of small pieces of "Bule Tac" and spread it out in all kinds of weird shapes :what:

I then sprayed the desert brown over the top of all that and then removed the4 blue tac and what was left behind is this Leopard pattern. :yikes:

I like it and that's why you are seeing it too.

she has aged well! That is a lot of putty pellets!

Hey that's really cool - it looks superb and nice job on the putty camo - it seems to have worked well.

I need to get me a Ju-87 at some point.

Awesome work with that kind of scheme, and kudos for taking the time (or having the patience) to actually put on that many putty spots. I think I'd be having nightmares of being attacked by a large wad of blue tac after that! :scream: :Shark:

:writing: :giggles: Yeah, and it was strange that it was my son who came up with the idea of the pellets, so he is the one who should get all the credits, as I just held the air brush. :dogwag:

Thanks for your most valued comments. :grin:

There's one question about that model that really bites me:

How the heck did you find it again under that mountain of Blue Tac? :shocked:

Looks great to my eye. Surely nothing for the "embarass yourself"-thread.

It did take some time, but it was like playing with playdoh with my kids all over again :giggles:

I had a fair idea of the outcome, and in fact, I thought I 'overdid' the whole thing, but now that I am looking at some of the cammo schemes they came up with, nothing would surprise me.

Thanks for your nice comment. :dancing:
