Collin Posted May 10, 2017 Author Share Posted May 10, 2017 Finished up the base. Combo of rust colors, weathered black, and a light dry-brush with dark metallic. Railroad section was dusted with earth weathering pigments (then shot with flat acrylic lightly). Got the guns installed and then did some light weathering with the airbrush. Light gun stains, exhaust on the belly, and some whisping of weathering up from the cowling in the direction of airflow (I've seen this on some T-bolts). Antennas, load up the bombs, and the pitot tube should complete the models....EXCEPT the prop. I still need to sit down and concentrate on that.

Shaka HI Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Scaled bomb in mid air should be there.... Shawn M 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel_W Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Collin, Just an amazing concept that really works so well. Just one small suggestion. The top of the railroad track rails should be basically clean and clear of rust and oxidation as the steel wheels from engines and cars would actually polish the tops as they roll over them.

Joel Ill just have to make sure a train runs on those tracks in the coming days. Collin Joel_W 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubert Boillot Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Cool idea on the base. You need to spend some time on weathering that bridge and railway to achieve a consistent look betwwen the base and the P-47, though ... Hubert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Collin Posted May 12, 2017 Author Share Posted May 12, 2017 (edited) I'm calling the kit complete EXCEPT the prop. That will be my weekend project as it rains here in Washington DC. Anyone else start to think about their next project as they finish up the one they are working on? In my case, and in flight STRIKE TEST F-14A.

Joel_W Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Collin, The Jug looks specatular as it flew across the finish line. Great build, incredible NMF finish, with some of the best realistic weathering I've ever seen. And I did take a look at the tops of the RR tracks. looks shiny now as they should. I'm always thinking about my next build. The problem is I keep on changing my mind. I seem to end up with a few folders on my desktop with detail pictures for each proposed build, and a new line in my favorites folder as well.
