Tarok Posted June 24, 2021 Posted June 24, 2021 Question going back to an earlier post…The Molotow masking markers: how do they compare to a brush on liquid mask like Humbrol?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
Treganna Posted June 24, 2021 Author Posted June 24, 2021 I just saw them on sale at the supplier I usually use, and thought 'that's a good idea- I'm having them!'. So I bought both sizes. I found them easy to use for the 'chipping' process. I did try not to overdo it, though, and followed my reference pictures carefully. 2 Quote
Tarok Posted June 25, 2021 Posted June 25, 2021 Thanks, Steve. I like experimenting with different products. Will try pick some of these out and give them a go Quote

Treganna Posted July 7, 2021 Author Posted July 7, 2021 Weathered my soft parts. Not that you can really tell in this picture. Steve Walker jodhpurs and Jim Tripon undershirt with Imperial Seamstress neck seal. soft-parts by Steve Purbrick, on Flickr Quote
KOtrooper Posted July 7, 2021 Posted July 7, 2021 Baby powder and black shoe polish helped me in weathering the pants. Undershirt doesn't need it. Sent from my Pixel 3a using Tapatalk 1 Quote
Treganna Posted July 11, 2021 Author Posted July 11, 2021 I've used Dirty Down Costume Crayons, and Dirty Down sprays, both Grey and Dark Brown. Quote
Treganna Posted July 11, 2021 Author Posted July 11, 2021 Final checks and fittings! Still a few issues to sort out... clearance 05 by Steve Purbrick, on Flickr clearance 09 by Steve Purbrick, on Flickr clearance 20 by Steve Purbrick, on Flickr 2 Quote
KOtrooper Posted July 11, 2021 Posted July 11, 2021 Looking good!Sent from my Pixel 3a using Tapatalk Quote
Treganna Posted July 25, 2021 Author Posted July 25, 2021 Fettling, fettling, and more fettling! (stirrups added to all soft parts, vambraces made wider, greaves prevented from rotating, and discovering that Velcro adhesive does not stick to Plastazote!) And this is BEFORE I start work to make my E22 more accurate! Quote
Treganna Posted July 28, 2021 Author Posted July 28, 2021 Results of fettling, and getting the correct sized gloves from Endor Finders. Large were required for me, not Mediums! I've widened the vambraces a little, and now they slide on easily, stay closed, and don't cut off the circulation to my broken wrist. vambrace-fettled 01 by Steve Purbrick, on Flickr vambrace-fettled 02 by Steve Purbrick, on Flickr 1 Quote
Treganna Posted August 8, 2021 Author Posted August 8, 2021 Taken new full-length pics- jodhpurs less baggy, and things stirruped. "What's that noise coming from the canteen?" resub 08 by Steve Purbrick, on Flickr resub 07 by Steve Purbrick, on Flickr 1 Quote
