I don't normally black-base but rather use an inverse form of it to establish my tonal variation. Interested to see how the black basing marries with the multi-layer chipping! 3 hours ago, Brett M said: You and I both....... I used this approach on my own Franken-Corsair build, and it turned out pretty well. Here's an in-progress image: And a shot of the final result: I copied the multi-layer process Matt McDougall outlined on his blog.

I just was going to use hair spray like John did.....wish me luck! Definitely a nice looking Corsair! Why Franken?

My description refers to the model, rather than the aircraft itself. And for that story, I'll have to refer you to the build thread. It's a doozy!

Lothar Thanks all! More work this evening. Hairspray technique, my first time.....lots of firsts. Sprayed a layer of Tamiya XF-4, possible could have been a bit more opaque. Followed by clear, hairspray, Tamiya X-18 semi gloss black, then AK M-485 blue grey. Let that all setup a bit and then attacked with a stiff brush. The XF-4 didn't show as much (more opacity next time!) but, it's there and somewhat decent. The tonal variations in the images are really not showing well in my office/hobby room lighting, so hopefully you can see. I imagine that once I start moving onto other layers of weathering, things will look MUCH different. As always, comments, critiques, suggestions are welcome!

I'm wondering if I need to back off the wear.....like it's too much in one spot. Anyone have thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More painting this evening. I keep thinking to myself that this color looks awfully light.....hopefully it's decently accurate!

Kagemusha Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Coming along very nicely, it might look light due to the contrast with the base colour - keep on keeping on! Brett M 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! That's kind of what I keep telling myself as well. Once I start on the lower side of the plane, that should help "blue it up". More work tonight. How does the demarcation line look on the tail? It seems that this wasn't exactly a fixed paint scheme, with the line moving up and down on different planes. I'll mix up a slightly lighter shade of blue grey in the next day or two and spray the fabric areas (unpainted). Comments, suggestions, pointers.....all are welcome.
