Squizzy 78 Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Very nice looking Milan. There's currently a thread in the general discussion section about preshading. Personally, I like preshading, and I think that you've mastered it. Great job, and I'm really enjoying watching your build come together, keep it going.

A-10LOADER Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 So it was a simple cheap rectangular piece of wood, i don`t know exactly its name, but it`s not plywoood. Milan, It's called melamine. It's flake board with either one or both sides pre-finished, usually white or gray. It's used for cabinet interiors. Next time get yourself a jig saw and you could have cut that base out in about 5 minutes. Steve F`s are my favs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F`s are my favs Posted August 19, 2017 Author Share Posted August 19, 2017 Next steps: - washes with different colors to fill some panel lines and rivets - first polishing and sealing of the rivets - decals - salt treatment - second polishing - fine filtering - weathering...

F`s are my favs Posted August 26, 2017 Author Share Posted August 26, 2017 10x Spyros! Inded i just removed some paint :PP Here is it after a very subtle chipping of the edges here and there: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F`s are my favs Posted August 26, 2017 Author Share Posted August 26, 2017 The attachments: And now i`m very doubting about whether to salt weather it first (+polishing) or i should apply (paint) the decals first and then the salt weathering. ... interesting... i`m just about at 60% for the decals first. PS: For the salt weathering i plan to apply the salt particles with water in very few places, then spray a very thin black filter only over these places.
