Do you ever wake up in the morning and think to yourself “It’s camouflage day!”?
When you finally get a nice even main color down over the primer of your choice and a good dusting of a lighter shade for highlights and it’s showtime. Let the camo flow!
It’s like a blank canvas or a free pass. What do you do? Plan? Research? Draw it out? Freestyle? Camouflage day is a day I look forward to!
I don’t wake up thinking about it. But it is fun. As for the style if you’re building a specific vehicle and want it to be accurate then you follow the instructions.
But you can get away with a lot particularly WW2 German vehicles. If you’re modelling a generic vehicle who’s to say you’re wrong? Some of the photos I’ve seen of German vehicles are nothing nothing short of bizarre. The sky is the limit.
Welcome to the site Nol, it’s a great place !
Actually I admit that sometimes I will wake up in the morning thinking about it after I do chores or run errands because I love armor modeling and especially camouflage vehicles; figures that have camouflage uniforms actually intimidate me because to get it accurate and in scale is a chore for me.
@MasterCylinder, Yes, I usually wake up thinking what kit to work on next. This morning I woke up thinking I will prime the Panda M-ATV and am currently prepping it for primer right now.
@metalhead85, I use camo decals on my figures. I have zero hand painting camo skills for figures. These were done with CrossDelta cam o decals.
Those figures look great
For about 31 years.
But yes, I save up several builds, usually that will require the same color. I don’t like cleaning my airbrush, so this cuts down on it.
@metalhead85, thank you!
@18bravo, I do the same thing. That is why I started the Panda M-ATV, ILK JLTV and ILK SOCOM M-ATV at the same time. I am only on the Panda kit for now though. I need to just do one at a time so I can at least get one finished. I was thinking of changing the overall sand camo on the Panda kit to the NATO camo though but I just primed it this morning in sand primer.
Never too late. I can’t recall many of those built. But I’ve got great overall photos from Korea.
I sprayed camo on my latest build, put it down for a minute, now I can’t find it! Need to stop getting so good at camo… 
Seriously, I need to wait for inspiration to strike before cranking up the airbrush - there’s nothing worse than losing motivation halfway through a session. Same goes for hand-brushing camo, or any detailing…
