Robs Paint Workshop

Hints and Techniques for Painting LINKA Buildings
By Rob Tossen 16-02-2014

A guide to help modellers, this workshop will show techniques that I have found helpful in my own painting of projects! These steps can be used for LINKA built models or even PLASTIC model kits.

Part 1

If you would like a copy of the files they are all at the bottom of this page
Let me put your mind to rest. If you have mastered the skills involved creating a LINKA building, then your ability to complete the model with a good “paint job” will be no less traumatic than putting a brush into water and flowing it over the model casting.
