There's a whole thread for clear coats.

Saw that, but don't want to read four pages of posts.

TurkeyVolumeGuessingMan wrote:So what is this Walmart stuff in a can? Acrylic? Lacquer?

You got me. The color label on the back says Clear and the front simple says Fast Dry Spray Paint. The directions on the back of the can (which are the same as on a can of red oxide primer) call it a spray enamel.

One for the tribe.... I know acrylic paints will 'out gas' for some time after painting, so how long should they dry out and 'set' before they are clear coated? The clear will probably be generic Walmart clear in a rattle can, as that's what I have. My other choices are clear bottle varnishes from t...

Endless hours of interweb surfing usually spur me to some effort to copy someone elses work of excellence for myself. That's what led me to scratchbuild my Warhammer40K KillKrusha Tank. Too lazy to come up with my own ideas.

Vodka has a higher purpose.

Can Aves be stained with a wood stain?

Looking very good! :D

(PS: Ya gotta have a commander to give it scale inna pictures! )

Or a victim.

Very nice. It looks speedy; considering it's roots, that makes sense!

Thanks fellas.

Can Bondo Fiberglass resin be used for casting? If so, what are some of it's characteristics? Good for small stuff? Big stuff? Or is the most horrible substance I can use?

I got some on sale from a going out of business sale.

What is the best way to clean Future from the airbrush? Windex? Lacquer thinner?

I use Windex with no problems.

Thank you.

Figures. Instead of using the vast collection of what I already have, I need to buy something else.

Its truly a remarkable product. And all said, "Aves-men" Verily, a question, brothers: How best to thin Aves? If I mixe a small portion and drop it in a slight bit of alcohol, it just sits there. Yeah, even if I mash it up a bit, it just sits there, mashed up... looking sad. The only way ...

It's elongated appearance (and somewhat 'H' shape) put me in the mind of the Churchill British WWII tank. Not, I'm sure what the finished result will be, but just what it reminds me of. YMMV.

Very nice! I like the square barrel and radar dome (?). The dome seems appropriate somehow. Wonder why our tanks don't have radar?

Well, yeah! As the emcee of this little swa-rae, you have to finish something!!

Totally ORK-some, Butters! :8) Love that Targit is tied into the grot's nest. :) Well, as an observer, he's totally unreliable and unwilling! But, screaming does draw enemy fire, and that's good enough for the tank commander to figure where the enemys position is. He's actually Targit the fourth, b...

The warbikes actually do/will fit on the flat 'deck'. I just have to modify the twin tailpipes on the bikes for them to fit. Or, four Ork boyz with bases. As to deployable chainsaws, I might do that on an upcoming build!

Well, I'm 99.5% done. I never did get the interior stowage finished. But I will. However, I figure I'd go ahead and declare it done. These first three shots were in the driveway, in natural light, sans figures. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v114/BillyBlackCloud/OrkStuff/DSCF0333.jpg http://img.p...

Id say about 20 guns Some on the surface, some on the towers? Only in Orkdom does three bow-mounted shootas, 4 anti-personell rokkits, a tri-barrelled, 90mm Gatling cannon, and a bunka-busta heavy rokkit, constitute "under-gunned". Well, I'll take it under advisement. I still have some th...

How many guns do you think, Gold Five?

They look really good, particularly these 2; http://spmaquettes.com/images/phocagallery/saumur2006/thumbs/phoca_thumb_l_17.jpg http://spmaquettes.com/images/phocagallery/saumur2006/thumbs/phoca_thumb_l_18.jpg Was there some set of rules or specifications these guys were building to? Because they al...

I'm hoping to get my figures painted and the misc. stowage and extra items finished before I post more pictures. However at the rate I'm going, it'll be next weekend before I'm truly done. Plus, I'd really like to finish the weathering and a bit more detail painting. Geez, no wonder I hardly ever fi...

Finished and painted ! Stay tuned....

Very nice. Thanks for sharing them.

No, I haven't, but I don't think it'll work. I think the wax'll overpower the flat completely. But I've not tried it.

I had my pressure at 40 psi (unknowingly ) as Iuse it for dust removal when it's not in service as a AB. When I knotched it down to 20psi it shoots fine.
