TimW Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 So here's a question--were Pacific Theater "Ds" all that much different from the ETO ones? I'm talking about the ones that were in the PI, not the ones that flew long range from Iwo later. Thoughts? Tim W. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparzanza Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Awesome looking engine! How'd you get that brownish look on it? A wash? If so, what colours to mix? I need to do that to my Spit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal_Belford Posted October 18, 2013 Author Share Posted October 18, 2013 (edited) Thx sparz glad you like it. Ive used Washes from florys, and the oil/dirt rinning downmarks ive used Airbrush (fine tuned) Tamiya redbrown and black very diluted with iso, to streak it down untill im pleased with the effect that i like. You can obtain almost same effect with oilcolors, (umbra/redbrown/raw umber) just not diluted, put a dot, then take a cotton pint carefully ant draw the oil color down gently untill you are pleased , if you dont lik the effect then just remove it, oilcolor is very forgiving in weathering, try on a piece of scrap before going "live" that you prepared the same way as the part that you gonna aplie the effect and try and see if its pleases you, Thats how i do often, try things, ideas, develop other builder effect thats fits me and so on, many builders do that infuences each other on effect and so on Modelling is an art Ive seen modelers dilute oilcolor to and applie the streaks with a brush to and they obtained awesome affects, check out guys that build tanks and watch their engines, dirt, oil everything ....just test and have fun Edited October 18, 2013 by Mal_Belford Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal_Belford Posted October 20, 2013 Author Share Posted October 20, 2013 Allright. There is lots of bits and parts, haha....remembering the brewster from HS dryfitting, even if it is a Tamiya, jsut got to check, that things fit properly... Soon ill be done and can start this amazing cocpit, lots of detail painting /Mal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
