Alive and Kicking


I've singularly failed to get any more painting done on the 1/600th scale aircraft for the Wings at War Corsairs and Cavaliers project, despite my best laid plans and intentions. I am still keeping them on the workbench, however, so that I can get them finished off once I've stopped being distracted into terrain making for the Sandbox Skirmish project. In fact I was thinking about tackling them this weekend, once I've completed the road sections and the desert ruins. So, don't give up all hope, they will be done sooner rather than later. I'm still waiting for some feedback from Chris Russell on the rules adaptation but that shouldn't stop me from playtesting them myself, so the Football War project is still very much alive and kicking!

  1. Hello Jim. I'm new in the hobby of the 1/600th aicraft miniatures and your blog is awesome for me to find idéas and inspiration. But i have a question on the paint : how do you do your panel lines or shading on your aicraft ? Thanks again.

  2. Thanks Remi,

    I paint the basecoat and then wash the models in a black ink wash mix, which flows into the panel lines. The Tumbling Dice models have really clear panel lines which helps a lot. I also sometimes use a fine black lining pen to draw some of the panel lines in or a very fine OOO brush.
