Ralph Riese Posted December 11, 2011 Posted December 11, 2011 Revell 's Arado Ar196 in progress. Apologies to those who might have already seen the pics on Hyperscale. Some fantasy rivets and fuselage skinning... Tried sanding out the fabric in the fuselage hatches.
Ralph Riese Posted December 11, 2011 Author Posted December 11, 2011 Airframe progress - apologies if the pcis are washed out and over-exposed. Should have used a softer background colour. Cheers, and thanks for looking. Ralph.
Wolf Buddee Posted December 11, 2011 Posted December 11, 2011 You know Ralph, you're really taking this hobby and making it something of an art form. Without a doubt your work is certainly inspirational. I can't wait to see the magic your preform with your paint work on this one! What I find difficult though is overcoming the urge to go out and buy the kit you're working on because of how fantastic it looks when you build and paint it. It's your skill in weathering and your eye for detail in your paint work that I'd like to attain. Always a pleasure Ralph! Cheers, Wolf
LSP_K2 Posted December 11, 2011 Posted December 11, 2011 Looking good (as usual), and I'm quite sure will be a splendid example of modeling art when finished.
DougN Posted December 11, 2011 Posted December 11, 2011 Looks great, I'm sure this will be another stunner when you get to painting! Doug
zaxos345 Posted December 13, 2011 Posted December 13, 2011 Awesome Ralph, nice to see you again :bow: John
Tomek Posted December 13, 2011 Posted December 13, 2011 Very neat work, Ralph! Great photography too! I'll be following with great interest.
Ralph Riese Posted December 25, 2011 Author Posted December 25, 2011 Some underside colour using light blues and blue-greys left over from past projects. Some 0.7mm "Micron Masking Tape" laid over the first motting session. Some more mottling over the tape. The gawdy result. All the best to all for a very festive Silly Season. Thanks for looking. Cheers, Ralph.
zaxos345 Posted December 25, 2011 Posted December 25, 2011 Amazing airbrushing skills my friend, awesome result. Merry Christmas and Happy new year Ralph. John
Ralph Riese Posted December 25, 2011 Author Posted December 25, 2011 cheers John - and the same to you! Underside markings sprayed using masks made by Mal Mayfield at Miracle Paint Masks. A 1:2 mix of Tamiya XF-2 Flat White and XF-19 Sky Grey, followed by straight XF-2. Lots of tape to avoid bleed, and some to eventually represent underlying framing. XF-69 NATO Black; Gunze Sangyo H77 Tyre Black; and some dark grey mottling. Hope you all had a beaut Xmas. Thanks for looking. Cheers, Ralph.
jeroenpeters Posted December 28, 2011 Posted December 28, 2011 I'm shamelessly going to copy your strip-spray technique! Thnx! Really cool result and top-notch building. Cheers, Jeroen
Loic Posted December 28, 2011 Posted December 28, 2011 I can not agree more with this. i will certainly copy that too Good job!
