shark64 Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Are you doing just the panel lines in the dark blue preshade, then over spraying everything with thin coats of black ? Flat or gloss ?.............Harv Harv Yes pre shade in blue. I always use flat black(actually I use Nato black a lot). Always thin coats. I stay away from glossy paints(personal taste only).

tucohoward Posted March 8, 2013 Author Share Posted March 8, 2013 No problem guys. I am enjoying the discussion on doing a black painted plane. Basically you can do pretty much anything, except paint it black. Also difficult to take pictures of something this large and this dark. Not sure if I can show a true representation of how it looks, but I'll give it a shot. sandokan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moksha Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Hey Tuco that finish is looking super effective sir! Makes me want to try a "you can have any colour as long as it's *not* black" type finish ) Onwards! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tucohoward Posted March 9, 2013 Author Share Posted March 9, 2013 Thanks guys! I appreciate the comments. I'm pretty happy with how it's turning out and have really enjoyed the painting and weathering process. Thanks again Ralph. I don't think I would have ever attempted this if I hadn't seen your beautiful 110. Hope your 111 is coming along well. Jay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Peterpools Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Jay Stunning work on the 110. weathering and finish looks right on the money. Large models are a tough act to photograph. Using a wide angle lens lets you get in closer but the distortion is something that always bothered mes about that particular perspective. I've found, shooting with a 50 MM and some good lighting is about the best path and then a bit of cropping in PP will allow you to tighten things up. Keep 'em coming :popcorn: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tucohoward Posted June 19, 2013 Author Share Posted June 19, 2013 Really slacking on this one. Had to go to page 14 to find it. Getting close to done, just the fiddly bits mostly. Stiil haven't figured out how to photograph it. Got a new camera, but haven't figured out how to use that either. Anyhow, here's where I'm at.

Old Dog Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 I'm most impressed with your black painting technique, I'm not sure I can duplicate it but I'm sure going to try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
