I used very fast painting method. First gray spray undercoat, watered down gryphonne sepia and dry brushing with stone gray. Especially the cabin looks perfect. The board was more problematic, after sepia wash I decided to use watered down german grey. It was too dark, so drybrushed with london gray. The finished board looks like the boat has seen lot of action.
Great piece for my Vietnam collection. Did I mention I found in Model Expo a bargain 10 euro Huey helicopter, prepainted in 1:48 scale, the cavalry is here too.

ReplyDeleteYou got Gryphonne Sepia to work? Mine is so thin and colorless it barely shows up against white...
ReplyDeleteOld GW Sepia wash is the best, I have still some left. I use it on pretty much everything. Best result is if you water it down a bit.
ReplyDeleteThat turned out quite nicely! Nice and simple, but still looks great
