New Stock – Ammo Atom Paint

ATOM is a paint specially designed for modelling, formulated for maximum performance with both brush and airbrush application. ATOM paints provide strong covering power without obscuring details, resulting in a smooth, uniform, and durable matte finish. They can even be applied without the use of primer. In addition to their excellent resistance, fluidity, colour intensity, and fast drying time, ATOM paints also possess exceptional self-levelling properties.

ATOM paints are water-based acrylics with the benefits and properties of lacquer paints when applied using an airbrush. This includes minimal clogging, excellent durability, and a quick drying time. When applied with a brush, they retain all of the advantages of acrylic paint, as well as the unique properties of the ATOM range. ATOM paints are odourless and non-toxic; and they are manufactured in compliance with the latest global safety regulations.

The advantages and innovations of ATOM paints extend beyond their formula. Their revolutionary packaging, designed and manufactured exclusively for this range, is completely transparent and features a vertical dropper, accommodating quick, convenient, and clean use with just one hand required to open and close the cap. Additionally, its 20ml capacity is larger than most acrylic paint containers, providing a much more favourable price-to-capacity ratio.

Construction of Zvezda 1:72 Greek Infantry V-IV BC

As we sit through another day of pouring rain, we finally got around to post our finished Greek Infantry!

Both the Greek Trireme we completed earlier, and these figures are 1:72 scale, perfect match!
Not too much construction in this kit – glue on the spears and shields and you’re done.
Here are the unpainted figures nicely arranged.
The figures in the photo have been primed and partially painted.
The painting is complete. Our cutting mat has changed colour since we started this project!
The figures are carefully arranged on the trireme.
Finally, we snipped the figures from the bases (taking care not to chop off any limbs in the process) and glued them onto the trireme.

Construction of Revell 1:72 patrol Torpedo Boat PT-579

We were commissioned to build a Torpedo boat! Couldn’t tell who was happier – the customer, who had their boat built, or us, who got to make something instead of doing paperwork.

We decided not to add the clear windows because they were a little fiddly to glue on and you can’t really see through them.
The deck appears to be used for another Torpedo boat kit, so right at the start we drilled around 30 holes onto it. The positions of the holes are clearly labelled on the bottom.
We glued on the parts that are same colour as the deck and spray-painted it. Next, we constructed the remaining components and dry-fitted it on to the deck.
We primed the remaining components and painted on the camouflage scheme.
The hull was masked and painted.
Finally, we glued all the parts together and here is the finished boat.
