Lawson (A History of the Uniforms of the British Army Vol 1, Cecil C P Lawson, various publishers, original 1940) refers to the guns of the New Model Army as being painted a "fair ledd colour". But what was this "fair ledd": a red lead oxide or a lead grey?
The buzz in the 3d world over the last several years has been about the development of PBR (Physically-Based Rendering) and metal/roughness shaders, because artists finally have access to rendering models that closely match reality. Metal vs. non-metal controls the reflectance model, and roughness takes the place of many unrealistic settings in previous rendering systems for "glosiness" and "specularity" etc. So much simpler and more realistic. So - you don't need to buy semi-gloss or gloss Tamiya paints, you get a better finish this way. And it does what was my original intent, which is making details clearly visible in the same way they are in the real-life versions. The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.From a practical point of view the wood of carriages would need some form of protection from the elements. Some woods have high levels of tannins which would provide some form of protection (e.g. oak). So you could be justified painting gun carriages wood colour (remember that oak weathers grey).
Our collection of magfed paintball guns has some of our favourites like the First Strike T15 paintball gun or the Tippmann TMC magfed paintball marker. We’re specialists in magazine fed paintball guns and rifles, here you will find magfed conversion kits from Tacamo and fantastic magazines to make your paintball tournament, training session, or match with friends as smooth and as close to the “real thing” as it gets. Artillery pieces were expensive to produce, heavy and difficult to move around. The idea of using artillery in battle (rather than in a siege) was still in it's infancy. Guns were placed before the battle and pretty much stayed there win, lose or draw.
Covered Area: You don't want to waste hours attempting to cover a wide region with a spraying gun that barely moves an inch per minute. Most spray guns are graded based on the amount of paint they can cover in a minute or the amount of paint they release. Whenever the product description specifies fl. oz. per minute, this is a measurement of the amount of paint this can spray each minute. It's not as informative as the CFM (cubic feet per minute), although it does provide an overview of its effectiveness. Tip: Thespray gun could be equipped with a variety of tips. The surface will determine the best tip for the job you would be going to spray & the form of coat you are using. On low pallets, concrete sculptures crowd the gallery. Drawn and produced with the aid of a computer-assisted piping machine, like an enlarged version of the patisserie nozzle, there is both infinite variety and an awful sameness about these grey and terracotta confections. You walk among them with some difficulty. Greyman Cries, Shaman Dies, Billowing Smoke, Beauty Evoked (more a poem than a title) is a world of worm-cast mountains, intestinal tubing, funnels and squirming nests, writhing columns of turds, lava-like puddles and drools, hollow cakes and all sorts of sagging gateaux and towers. Parts have slumped and broken off under their own weight, even as the machine was going about its mechanical business of expelling them. Each sculpture is a gone-wrong golem, the clay figure that (so Jewish folklore tells us) could be brought to life by the right spell. It is the sculptor's perfect myth. Patina is/can be the sign of poor maintenance ... . I gather you refer to the kind of patina that develops naturally on the surface of certain metals. We know the brass cannon resting outside some museum or fortress and tend to think that is what they would have looked like in their active service life. Probably not.
