Here's Rick Chin's beautifully
weathered Accurate Miniatures 1/48 Stormovik. In Ricks own words he had
this to say....
"It was built out of the box
and the kit was very good to work and finish as long as you follow the steps. I painted the upper with green, (any green will do as it will be covered,)
and the lower with pale blue. The upper was over sprayed sparsely with
Testor white after the decals were in place. I put on a Pollyscale dull coat. I
then use a tiny 20/00 brush and 'dipped' most of the lines and control surfaces
with thinned down Testor black/rust/thinner enamel mix and let them run to
highlight some of the lines. Dull coat again to hide some 'gloss' created by the
'wash'. The model took a few days and the paint job 2."
As you can see...Rick is a very
experienced modeller.
Rick also keeps very busy
running his Hobby shop Uncle Bills
Hobby as well as being a very active member in the Calgary modeling
club. He is a good honest guy and the "3 Steves" have had
very positive experiences when we have purchased items from him....good service
and reasonable prices.
