Great idea,

There is something similar going on in the figures forum. Three experienced figure painters are painting the same figure using different methods and paints.

I like the idea of going for the basics first. Count me in.

Quoted Text

I would certainly be interested in something like this. From reading a lot of posts here, I see many people paint using brushes.. and the others ofcourse use air-brushes. Why not have a class for each method. How to obtain the best results in each method. And how to paint camouflage schemes if you don't have a compressor which allows you to control air-pressure.

Hope you decide to do something like that.


Another one hoping to see separate classes for brush painters and airbrush users

Count me in,

I'd like to learn US Army paint scheme during Cold War's famous wars, Korean and Vietnam war.

I would also like to learn how to add dust and dirts to AFV's, camouflage on vehicle, and battle damage

It's a great idea, with some serious potential. I have started a thread here to start organising this. Once we have set up guidelines which people are comfortable with, w'll get started.

Thanks Brian.

Cheers

Wow! To think that this past week I've been trying to figure the best way to do a hard edge camo. This isn't the first time Armorama has been there in a timely manner, signing in!
