LSP_Kevin Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Flawless work indeed, Mal! How did you add the red stripes to the wheels? They're very neat, like you masked and airbrushed them, but there's no overspray or wobbly bits that you normally get trying to mask over so many lumps and bumps. But they look too neat to be brush-painted. Tell us your secret! Kev tomv87 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal_Belford Posted August 4, 2015 Author Share Posted August 4, 2015 (edited) Ive masked it...as usuall.....first thin stripes as they can follow the profile as a guide for the rest, since want to have equal width on the stripes...., then wider srtipes of tape and push them down with a thoothpic so it follows the curve....then mask of the rest....and important.....dont shoot the Airbrush from several agngles....just in top...as it will follow the mask...first flat White...the flat red...then candy red gloss...so it gets Deep enough since thy are so thin stripes....and thats it....no black magic here at all...just straight forward....take a bit of time, but Worth it all the time, as you know me by now...as i try to paint all that i can paint....no matter how long it takes to mask and do it...hey, i got all the time i need..as i never build on deadlines or shows or anything....so just plain work here buddy. /Mal Edited August 4, 2015 by Mal_Belford tomv87 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stinger16 Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Looks real good Mal, can't wait to see the landing gear under a wash by Mals way, looking forward to this part of the build. Your build is absolutely stunning Jeff Mal_Belford 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal_Belford Posted August 4, 2015 Author Share Posted August 4, 2015 (edited) Thanks for them kind Words...this is the arsenal ive pre picked i see fit for this, as it is light grey....as it is in my Taste... (others may not agree but hey that is the thing different styles and results what want to acheive) Note theese are the tones fot this specific build......other builds with other colors of course other colors aswell, and many times less...this aquired this arsenal anyway for me... Ps reason for Zippo gasoline fuel...yes it dries much faster.....than ordinary artist oilcolor solvents....and in that way when inspiration is ther and a Picture in head...hell yeah...that is one of my favorites for oils now....yes oilsolvent is great also but in other situatioins when want "stickier and slower drying time) /Mal Edited August 4, 2015 by Mal_Belford tomv87, Sparzanza and andromeda673 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 (edited) Nice Mal! Really is coming together now!!!! PS If you ever so inclined (and if its available in Sweden), I've found a product called "Japan Drier" that when added to the oil, or in my case, used solely as a thinning agent DRAMATICALLY decreases the oil drying time. Works REALLY well. Edited August 4, 2015 by Out2gtcha Mal_Belford 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Works REALLY well. Thanks Brian...ill check it up....but as ive just discovered...(in fact on my zeke)...Zippo wworks very well....and i mean very well for my needs....that decreases drying time fast...one thing more if not like easily removed with the fluid... Caution on oilors....and that means all ...Blue...sepcially Preussian blue as it NAILS in to the coat...as the others yes the go away...but Blue so be carefull and Think twice...as i know this by experiance...so dont sswab with the blue one...... Also Zippo fluid dont harm the paint at all....as it removes Tamiyas Enamel wash, oils...and my silverpen paint (yes very forgiving), just take a cotton stick and moisten it with Zippo and remove, and start all over again like it never happened.... /Mal Edited August 5, 2015 by Mal_Belford Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
