Shawn M Posted April 27, 2017 Author Share Posted April 27, 2017 forgot that I also straightened a warped canon barrel last night...first time Ive done the hot water trick...more then a little scary. Seems to have worked out, its less "noodle" shaped lol Need to fill the canopy to fuse gaps (despite my best efforts there is a gap along the back portion) and glue in the "side" window to the windscreen. Once done, add cannons and pitot tube, then its prime time! Shaka HI 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawn M Posted April 30, 2017 Author Share Posted April 30, 2017 Thanks Dan! Here's the weekends update, Im at the point Im about to paint the chin yellow along with the canon barrels. This next week is 100% shot for me on model time. The good thing is, I get to spend it with a customer who is also a modeller and friend on with the pics! Had to get the gear doors on as they are integral in the ID stripes later- some poster putty on the back held em like a champ why does every aircraft look sinister and sexy in black? then add lace... oh fine....cover up time for ID stripes Alain Gadbois and BradG 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Texan Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Wow! I learn something from you Shawn with every build! I would have never even tried priming in black paint like you have, and doing that kind of pre-shading! I've done pre-shading on panel lines, and post shading of lightened base colors, but this is really cool what you've done. I know the pics don't do it justice, but I'll have to try this out! I really enjoy watching you, Eric Galliers, and Mr. Bill, build your planes! I may never make it to your level, but you most definitely have improved my outlook in building! Thanks!

Shawn M Posted May 1, 2017 Author Share Posted May 1, 2017 Thanks Tommy, its my adaptation of Doog's black basing but coloring inside the lines I've also done it on a white base but combined it with pre-shading to deepen the colors in the panel lines. Give it a whirl, the worst that happens is you lay a thicker top coat over to cover up any foibles in the "marble" layer Big Texan and Shaka HI 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
