Hi Geoffrey,

some of your work.

This is a trick question, since it all depends to give a few examples: the theater, unit you are portraying, camouflage or use of Zeltbahn, so if you can give us a bit more of information so we can help you more easily.

I'm Flemish, Dutch speaking Belgian, so my English is not very good.

And try to get color pictures too. Paint small things where it's hard to reach after the figure is finished first.

[Geoffrey]

so i need to glue the figure first?

Not nescesaryly first, Geoffrey. You have to play a little bit with it, to find out what suits you the best, although I have to be hunest that I am not an expert in 1/35 scale. I am a 1/72 guy.

See Geoffrey i said all you need is ask for help. These guys will advise you well on how to paint a Tank. So much so that when it is finished ( like my own troubles it will look like it is in a military march with salutes .) i think you can clearly understand now. With all the help you`ll receive from these guys. Just tongue in cheek now Geoffrey, i am perfectly well now with no real problems in the way i paint so i need no help now. I`ll keep my eye on you to see just how your project turns out. Best Regards Paul

[Geoffrey]

thanks guys.
