Fanes Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 That's looking great - congratulations! I like the subtle colour variations and the paint scheme is really outstanding. One minor thing which could maybe be improved: The demarcation between the RLM78 and RLM79 is a little bit too soft - with the sand yellow overspray - at least for my taste.

lafouine Posted April 11, 2019 Author Share Posted April 11, 2019 (edited) so this morning it was calligraphy workshop still according to the profiles and photos of the 109, I tried to reproduce the scriptures that were on the bestio !! That's what happens we will let it dry, and then a good coat of varnish to protect all that I also benefited while I was there, retouching the number 1 to paste there too close to the real plane and this is what gives it ... before: after [/url There you go ... yves Edited April 11, 2019 by lafouine themongoose, Out2gtcha, LSP_Kevin and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_Ray Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 That is some beautiful paint work! You are doing very taking account the desert elements. Very nice! lafouine 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themongoose Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 I really like the mottling you did with the base coats! Once it’s got a dullcoat on it i bet it looks like a true weathered aircraft. Did you do the caligraphy with stencils or free hand? Looking good! lafouine 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lafouine Posted May 11, 2019 Author Share Posted May 11, 2019 Hello everyone !!! it's been a long time since I came to see you, so I'm back with a little summary of my work in recent days .... I started the patina with a sepia oil painting wiped with kleenex paper .... and as you can see, I have a big splinter of paint that happened when wiping sepia oil .... Some of them said that the plate might have been wood, so when I attacked the underside of the plane, I would try to rethink the wood that might have formed this plate (this is a very personal interpretation of what might be the truth ...) Finally, today, I actually started the aging of the plane I'm not good at reprensenting aluminum foil on an airplane and I prefer to represent dirt also, as usual, oil sepia, cotton stems and brushes with hard bristles were my friends for this afternoon weathering So here is my interpretation of the dirt on the karman and on the wings of the airplane will come later, the traces of exhausts (made with the oil painting), and the dust of the desert, it made with pigments as on the wheels go, place to photos !! does all this seem plausible? knowing that the last owner of this plane was not very careful with him ?? see you soon yves LSP_Kevin, TorbenD and rafju 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
