Out2gtcha Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Wow Tom that looks fantastic! The squiggles look just about the right size in scale too, nice job. I was thinking too, not that you are doing another, but if you need, now that you have the cutter, I can send you the .studio3 Silhouette Studio file and you can manipulate it as needed.

Brian, thanks! I applied your masks today and they worked perfectly! I also painted the Hinomarus, but they will need touching up. I hope to post more pics of progress tomorrow.

I am just starting out using mine, having made the Hinomaru masks, but so far so good. 1 hour ago, monthebiff said: Excellent airbrush work Tom, your Toryu is really coming together very nicely! Regards. Andy Thanks Andy! I didn’t have much interest in the Ki-45 before, but ZM kits have a way of increasing my appreciation as I build.

Uncarina Posted January 12, 2020 Author Share Posted January 12, 2020 I was going to use the kit decals for the tail markings, but those on the front of the tail overlap on each side, leaving an obvious join. I am going to attempt making masks for these by scanning the decal sheet and using the Silhouette. I’m a little daunted by the complex shapes to paint, but I made it this far!

Uncarina Posted January 13, 2020 Author Share Posted January 13, 2020 (edited) I put some time this weekend into more painting, starting with Brian's masks, which worked flawlessly the first time. It was a little tricky: eight B-29 silhouettes with two options: apply each individually, or use a mask which had all eight lined up. I used the latter, and thanks to Brian's excellent spacial skills they fit perfectly. More tricky were the eight tiny checkmark masks, which had to be placed individually. I got lucky the first time! Besides the straightforward Hinomarus, I masked and painted the forward tail markings. This was pretty challenging, since i used the wrong trace setting on the Silhouette cutter, so that the white stripes didn't get included in the mask. With perseverence and abundant tape, I'm pretty pleased so far! Not the best pics, but at least representative: Cheers, Tom Edited January 13, 2020 by Uncarina MikeMaben, Trak-Tor, kkarlsen and 13 others 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
