h3ae86 Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 I got some paint on The Rig and I'm trying the salting method for the first time. I've probably overdone the salting but I figure it's gone through the most dangerous areas of the out break so it would be pretty scuffed up. Also does anyone have tips on doing a simple desert camo paint job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZombieHunter26 Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 So I went to the LHS today and bought two models off the clearance racks. Both 'UPTOWN' series by revell- the Magnum R/T and the Chrysler 300c SRT8. Curbsides, as I found out, but I'm just building 'em to take a little break from the PA/ZH CBP for a few to work on improving my shiny jobs. plus, I only spent 35 bucks total for two kits and some modelling filler. Don't get me wrong, I have something in store for later. I'm just 'resting my imagination' if you will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otherunicorn Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Daily update. The first view of the Dodge, Progress on "Post aChopalyptica". I think I'm near the point where I need to get serious with paint. The build is starting to look suspiciously near complete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Cranky Posted February 15, 2012 Author Share Posted February 15, 2012 Rob, taking little breaks is very good for each builder. It allows you to recharge and regenerate after so much draining of the imagination. Rests come in very handy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jantrix Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 A lot of great work going on here. I'm quite glad this one is a year long CBP, as life continually derails my modeling plans. If I can escape work this weekend there will be more work on the Puma. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richie, your guest is as good as mine. There are a couple of people working on some modified figures, but they haven't finished the work yet. I am hoping to see some great results, and possibly some great figures in the market soon. I had made contact with a Greek sculptor to do some figures but the price was a bit too steep. He wanted around 700 dollars for the sculpt and they would still have to be molded and cast, which was going to add even more to the expense. Can't afford it, but I know the work was going to be first rate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelbuilder22 Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 mmmm guess i wll do more research online, did one search yesturday and nothing came up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Cranky Posted February 15, 2012 Author Share Posted February 15, 2012 Nah, there's nothing out there . . . which is why a few folks are building their own. I'm hoping there will be something soon enough for us to be able to have some fun with when it comes to Zombie figures in 1/24th scale.

otherunicorn Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Well here's The Rig after messing up the salting by using rattle cans. I did what I could with it. Do you guys think it still looks alright? The paint build up around the salt gave it a really bumpy texture. I'd think giving it a once over with some fine sandpaper would help it, then give it another wash to get rid of any salt that is still trapped.

Well I tried fixing it but made it worse. now everything is sitting in the purple pond and I'm praying that it'll remove krylon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
38special Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 it removes valspar paint pretty good. i always use spray paint to paint my car and the purple power does a good job at stripping it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
