    HAIRSPRAY METHOD
    By Sven Frisch

    STEP BY STEP

    Step 1 : First we apply the base color. In this case I used Model Air Colour, but any other paint will be a good base for the hairspray technique. Step 2 : Next we apply a thin, but even layer of hairspray. Some modellers apply the hairspray through the airbrush to get better control. I usually mist the hairspray from a good distance straight out of the can. The brand is not important, so far any brand worked ne. Step 3 : Then we airbrush a random coat of white, depending on the effect you

    would like to achive. In this case I was after a rather worn off nish. Step 4 : Now we can remove the white paint again, by using a brush and water. You might want to try out all the effects that can be achieved with different brushes, toothpicks etc. The water will dissolve the hairspray and the acrylic paint will start to lift after a few seconds. Step 5 : Since the effect of the chips can be a bit harsh, drybrushing in the base coulor will further blend the effect a little more.

    EDITORIAL
    Well, thats it for the rst issue...
    ... and I hope it has been an interesting and useful exercise for all. I really think that the Tanks & Things forum is a great place to visit and a big thank you goes out to all those involved in creating it. I regularly visit other modeling forums but dont nd them anywhere near as friendly and helpful as Tanks & Things. This little digest is my meagre attempt at giving something back to the T&T community. For me, well Ive committed myself to the Xtremely Huge & Heavy! and the USMC builds - if only to try and force me to actually build some of the kits that I have in my stash. A special thanks goes out to Tony Lee for some very useful advice with some issues Ive had with my Sturmtiger build. Hopefully, Ill have some time to continue work on it soon. Oh, and in case anyone was wondering, Tanktrax is my Xbox Live name and the picture on the right is my Xbox Live avatar. Until next time readers, have fun and keep modeling.... Tanktrax
