I assembled a couple* of 1/285th scale Raiden Miniatures Gloster Meteors last night, then gave them a quick spray undercoat of Halfords Primer before bedtime. I was going to basecoat and layer them in a couple of shades of light grey and white but, having found a half empty can of Humbrol Gloss Acrylic White, I saw a quick shortcut to all that brushwork. A quick dusting or two with the rattle can and 'Bingo!', they are now ready for a Future based wash using my usual formula for this sort of thing. I am quite pleased with the amount of time saved which I can now invest in some fine brush work and detailing instead, before I overspray them with Army Painter matt varnish.
* I was originally going to do four but thought it was a bit silly, as they hardly saw action in 1945 and I can use the flight stands elsewhere for other more useful things!
Very handsome aircraft!

There's something very British about them...just can't put my finger on exactly what it is!
ReplyDeleteYou're not insinuating Brits are handsome are you? ;)
