Foehammer’s Konflikted Painting Table
Clear for takeoff on runway TWO SEVEN
So finally was able to complete the runway for the airfield board. Mostly it was just the lines, which I did using paint pens from a craft store. These are much better than trying to paint them straight with a brush (you can use a ruler!). However, they cost $3-5 each, and wear out quickly when using them on a very abrasive surface like this runway.
Still worth it in my opinion.
I wanted to take a break from the grittier terrain work, so decided to paint my board’s objective marker… A prototype Japanese jet aircraft, created in cooperation with Germany.
The model is actually a DUST 1947 German jet fighter, I just painted it in a traditional Japanese Zero paint scheme with jade green, white, yellow and black. Basecoat, shading and highlight work on the green was airbrushed, the rest was brush work.
Looks amazing 🙂 What manufacturers paints did you use?
I believe these were all Vallejo other than the metal (GW). Vallejo game color jade green, lightened for highlighting with white, darkened for shading with black.
Yellow is Vallejo model color bright yellow.
White is Vallejo USMC Uniform Highlight.
