A campaign for brush painting.
Thoughts on some possible rules:-
Brush painted models only allowed.
No spray primer.
Any scale.
Open to all modeling network sites.
Learn some new techniques.
A flash back to simpler times.
Have fun.

That could work, though I'm not sure about the "no spray Primer"
idea. I'd happily give the airbrush a rest though.

Richard, a very interesting campaign idea. I just read the Ebook - Learn to Brush Paint Model Airplanes.

PS:, what's an airbrush?

Something right up my alley. I might be persuaded to do a muddy whitewashed Marder after my Pz IV.

Sounds interesting. I'm with Dave---Whats an airbrush. I have used rattle cans and brushes. Could be an interesting campaign. Will have to read the book mentioned by Brent

Hi Lee
If you use spray primer you can only have one hair on your brush! LOL
As long as the spray primer is used for a base coat and not a top coat I am sure that would be accepted.

Come on everyone, paint like the pros:

Ok we are up to 9 +- so two more and I will apply to the Bod's!
Most likely the end of 2015 but that would give us time to get the word out and buy some new brushes that have hair that is under control

I've been thinking about what to do for this campaign, maybe a ship kit or WW1 aircraft.

I just stumbled on this. Sounds cool. Shouldn't this be on the Campaigns sub-forum to get better exposure thus move forward? Cheers

I don't see it in the list of proposed campaigns. Let's see what I can make happen...

Maybe I screwed up the proposal, I will submit it again.
This would be a good low tech paint campaign and also for those modellers without an airbrush.
