timmycork Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Think a thread like this might be of good use to lads starting off doing resprays. Example 1: I resprayed this (model name) using (paint brand/colour). I added the decals I got from (name). (Post before, during and after pics) Example 2: I am going to respray a (model name) into (whatever) livery, has anyone tried it? What paint did you use?

I think this is a great idea, we do have some good experts as members who I'm sure would be happy to share their knowledge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noel Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 I think this is a great idea, we do have some good experts as members who I'm sure would be happy to share their knowledge. Yes this would be really useful. I'm a total beginner at spraying and would find it very helpful. There are some modellers on here that have really stunning skills with an airbrush and weathering techniques. I'd love to learn simple weathering skills.

Glenderg Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Suggest they should go in the Tutorial section, each under a separate heading. Could the tutorial section be taken out of Workbench also to make it more visible? Also a pinned thread with "Tutorial Requests" at the top?

The tutorials section would certainly be a good place for any teaching, and tutorial requests is a great idea. I was just saying site news might be the place to discuss changes to the site. Maybe a revamped "knowledge centre" would work well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

murrayec Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Dave aah!! a master at work- very impressed with the delicate grip of the scalpel, the angle of attack and the precise placement of that supporting finger on the top of the box. This must take years of concentrated practice- top of the box off to you. Eoin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
