Completed Old Verlinden Pilot

[Ron Tamburrini]

Brilliant work Ron,it just goes to show these verlinden figures can still hold their own on the figure front,as I said before the leather looks great as does the whole figure,i especially like the groundwork,id like to know your technique you used to create the ground

Hi Brian
Re groundwork : it is a foundation of Magic sculpt left to harden then I go over it with Mig products ( European Dry mud fine texture creating little variations in the heights here and there, also use the wet mud rough texture sometimes but not on this one , but on the new project
All in all great stuff and dries fairly fast too and takes paint well .

Cheers for the comments Brian.

Hi Ron,are the Mig products Powder?

No they are a paste ,I work them with a small spatula £4.60 a tub in Glasgow shop but at Ipms show there was a trader selling them at £6.00
You get a fair bit in the tub and it is resealable . you don't use much as it is only the top coat of the ground work and you can add stones and things in as it sets brick hard .
