Snowy Airfield | An Inner Nerd Story

Eduard Hasegawa Harrier GR.7/9 Snow Airfield Diorama in 1/48 scale by The Inner Nerd
Instructional time lapse video of the full build, painting and weathering of a Snow Airfield Diorama featuring the BAe Harrier GR.7/9 by Eduard Hasegawa in 1/48 scale as shown by The Inner Nerd
The first part of this video shows the use of Tamiya acrylics to create a base layer of the tarmac underneath the Eduard Harrier GR7 in 1/48 scale model kit. All paints are thinned using Tamiya acrylic thinner X-20A. AK Interactive Worn Effects weathering effects is used in 3 layers over the tarmac to create a barrier layer in which the AK Interactive Snow Microballoons will be applied.
Tamiya white is applied over the AK Interactive Worn Effects weathering effects medium to make a base snow effect for the AK Interactive Snow Microballoons. This is applied in a rough pattern to create variances in the colour. AK Interactive Worn Effects weathering effects medium is then activated using water and agitated using a brush. The tarmac is slowly revealed underneath the painted snow layer as the AK Interactive Worn Effects dissolves.
The snow effect of the snow airfield Eduard Harrier GR7 in 1/48 scale model kit diorama is then achieved by applying layers of hairspray to adhere the AK Interactive Snow Effects Microballoons to the tarmac. AK Interactive Snow Effects Microballoons is applied in two layers to achieve a medium/thick snow effect around the shape of the Eduard Harrier GR7 in 1/48 scale model kit outline.
Ladders and chocks are scratch built from Evergreen Styrene rods and brass sheet to match the scale of the Eduard Harrier GR7 in 1/48 scale model kit. Tamiya Extra Thin Fast Drying Cement is used for this to quickly create bonds between the Evergreen Styrene rods. These ladders and chocks will be placed on the snow airfield diorama for the Eduard Harrier GR7 in 1/48 scale model kit.
Abteilung 502 and Winsor & Newton oil paints are used to create weathering and footsteps in the AK Interactive Snow Effects Microballoons. Oil spills and fuel stains are replicated using the Abteilung 502 and Winsor & Newton oil paints underneath the Eduard Harrier GR7 in 1/48 scale model kit to discolour the AK Interactive Snow Effects Microballoons
