Bill_S Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 Outstanding work! I don't think I've ever seen a yellow so vibrant. What are you using? Shaka HI and mpk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mpk Posted December 4, 2016 Author Share Posted December 4, 2016 So today I have done a few things. These include breaking a foot pedal rest off a resin cockpit whilst happily sawing. Luckily I have the part and will glue it back later. I also freed a seat from my first attempt at the seat belts I practiced. I need to clean up the paint work and install some belts that are now made. I then "cleaned up" my Dragon 109E seat. Looking at the close up photo, it ain't as cleaned up as I thought! I then lost said seat. Seat was later found atop a heater after falling from on high. I then prepared some exhausts for experimental work in the painting and weathering Dept. Methods will include the use of my collection of pastels I just spilled everywhere. "Clean up, aisle 10!" Plus dry brushing, washing etc. Should be fun. The pastels, Gravity dislikes.

mpk Posted December 4, 2016 Author Share Posted December 4, 2016 (edited) Forgot a couple. Plus another set of QB G's. Here's the kit parts. Unsure how to approach the next set of QB G's. Which is why they are unpainted ATM. Edited December 4, 2016 by mpk Shaka HI and TenSeven 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpk Posted December 4, 2016 Author Share Posted December 4, 2016 Added another airscale decal to the IP. Hand painted a QP G set in Steel. One is burnt iron, the other, Steel. Shaka HI 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpk Posted December 4, 2016 Author Share Posted December 4, 2016 Thanks mate. It was interesting when the Dragon seat dropped. I did not realise until later what that noise was. Happily I have 2 Aires E1-> 3 cockpits as well as PE. So I was going to steal an Eduard part for a Dragon kit. It was really exciting. Then I just found the original. NOTE: Great story. Needs more dragons. Bill_S 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martinnfb Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 Dale , here is one that has been on my mind for quite a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpk Posted December 4, 2016 Author Share Posted December 4, 2016 I've begun experimenting. Here is a bit of it easy to get in shot. I really like the Dragon exhausts even if a tad out of shape when compared to the others. At least they made an effort with open ended pipes. I wish to take that in a whole different direction so it just has the tan undercoat. None of the below is complete. I am going to give everything a chance to settle down. Any advice, criticism, helpful hints etc, very welcome. TenSeven 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpk Posted December 4, 2016 Author Share Posted December 4, 2016 Dale , here is your mandatory "reading/browsing" https://www.flickr.com/photos/28092068@N03/ Wow that is great! Thanks mate. Dale , here is one that has been on my mind for quite a while. Me too. I have loads of Finnish markings including the large sheet by Techmod. I also have a mask for it.

mpk Posted December 4, 2016 Author Share Posted December 4, 2016 Further update. Not shown, Dragon E4 and Revell G6 exhausts. Each a dark iron base. There's loads of Luftwaffe stuff in colour that it made examining the pipes easier. I changed the Hasegawa from a base of rust to a darker metal. A link to the 1st of a series of videos. My own update. Whitey, 109, HerculesPA_2 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
