LSP_K2 Posted February 20, 2017 Author Share Posted February 20, 2017 OK, armed with my spanky new spotter brush, I've now managed to slop some paint on the IP. Not the best job I've ever done, and far from perfect, but I think I can live with it. (I'm not sure why the image is so dark, but this is the best of the three images I took) Citadelgrad, CANicoll, mpk and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaka HI Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Is that IP hand painted? Looks fantastic! mpk and LSP_K2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CANicoll Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 You do great IP's, the contract is terrific. I've been at our local airplane museum (Udvar Hazy, part of the Smithsonian museums) looking at the IP's best as I can. They really are not the flat black I've been painting all this time - your variations in color are spot on. MUCH more interesting looking too as I think it is part of the 'scale effect' I think most of us are looking for. Keep up the good work!! mpk and LSP_K2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Peterpools Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Kev One good looking IP. As time goes by, I'm starting to drift away from dead, flat finishes and adding a bit of 'luster' hinting at the impression of metal behind the paint. Keep 'em coming Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dennismcc Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 That's a very nice IP, I find painting and finishing IP's very satisfying even though I cheated and used Yahu ones on my latest builds. Cheers Dennis LSP_K2 and mpk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted February 21, 2017 Author Share Posted February 21, 2017 Is that IP hand painted? Looks fantastic! Yep, just paint. I wish my hands were a bit steadier though. You do great IP's, the contract is terrific. I've been at our local airplane museum (Udvar Hazy, part of the Smithsonian museums) looking at the IP's best as I can. They really are not the flat black I've been painting all this time - your variations in color are spot on. MUCH more interesting looking too as I think it is part of the 'scale effect' I think most of us are looking for. Keep up the good work!! Thanks a bunch. While looking through my Aero Detail book, I noted that there were several variations of black and grays, so I decided to try and capture that look as best that I could. I think it looks OK, not great, but acceptable for me. Kev One good looking IP. As time goes by, I'm starting to drift away from dead, flat finishes and adding a bit of 'luster' hinting at the impression of metal behind the paint. Keep 'em coming Peter Thanks, Peter. The new spotter brush helps a lot, as it holds (for now), a nice pointy tip. mpk and Shaka HI 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Dennis Those Yahu panels do look interesting, but since I'm working on the cheap, paint will have to do. mpk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted February 23, 2017 Author Share Posted February 23, 2017 Now that I have epoxy again (I bought some a few weeks back), I've gone ahead and assembled the white metal figure that came with my Ki-61 kit. I'll paint him up the best I can, and if it looks OK, I'll put him on the base with the George. TaffyMan, mpk and Shawn M 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
