dennismcc Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Looking good, I must admit that after I had finished mine I regretted not picking the black finish. Cheers Dennis Shawn M 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn M Posted October 18, 2018 Author Share Posted October 18, 2018 Chris, Im still learning my siphon feed and am not 100% sold on it yet. It does have its merits and I will probably use it for the squiggles. Dennis, for me the black underside with the violet/grey top was a must. I also have a thing for black aircraft though lol dennismcc and Bill_S 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawn M Posted October 24, 2018 Author Share Posted October 24, 2018 all primed in Vallejo German Grey over coated in GrauViolet wanting more contrast I came back with lightened GrauViolet started picking out details and hard lines in the BluGrau then got ballsy and did a panel in squiggles I went back after it dried and polished it out, there is a lot of glare in the pick above. Happy with it, need to dedicate a few hours and start working up the big panels. I think once the black flanks and underside go on it will look great!

Iain Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Looking great Shawn! I can remember my eyes going squiffy when I did mine - and ended up having to spread it over several sittings. Look forward to seeing this one done! Iain Shawn M 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
