DIO Posted February 9, 2020 Posted February 9, 2020 Beautiful built. Great painting. Clean wash. Congratulations.... I am watching you! mpk 1
mpk Posted February 21, 2020 Author Posted February 21, 2020 (edited) I am experimenting using only pencils and pastel chalk for weathering, no washes have been applied. All marks and scratches are copied directly from photos of in service Franks. The exhaust is too dark but I will tone it down after I finish playing drums.

Dutch Man Posted February 21, 2020 Posted February 21, 2020 Very cool. Painting and weathering is great. Kind regards, Robert Jan mpk 1
Rick Griewski Posted February 21, 2020 Posted February 21, 2020 Excellent work! The weathering is just right mpk 1
Uncarina Posted February 21, 2020 Posted February 21, 2020 Dale, I copied every photo! Thanks for inspiring. Cheers, Tom mpk 1
mpk Posted February 21, 2020 Author Posted February 21, 2020 Thank you all very much. There is still work to be done. I am now at a cocktail bar drinking free mocktails. They refuse my money. For some strange reason people like me? I think they're bonkers. I will have dinner, then home to model. Play drums all day tomorrow. Sunday all day modelling. Luckiest man alive!

mpk Posted February 21, 2020 Author Posted February 21, 2020 I have the model ready for the final blend later this evening. I am aware how stark it appears now, but this is part of my "plan". I have begun weathering the belly. Wish me luck. Landrotten Highlander, Uncarina, USMC Herc and 3 others 6

bdthoresen Posted February 22, 2020 Posted February 22, 2020 Looks awesome. Mine is stalled for the moment due to some issues with my Eagle Strike decals not sticking to the model properly. I need to strip it down, and find the Montex Super Mask set for it so I can continue. Yours is looking awesome! THOR mpk 1
mpk Posted February 23, 2020 Author Posted February 23, 2020 (edited) Last night's weathering over a few hours. I went to my local art supplies shop and bought additional pencils, pastels, charcoal etc. I began weathering around 9 p.m. and stopped around 1.30 a.m. a lot of that time was experimenting with my new supplies. Great fun. I would try something then another thing etc etc. At moment of writing it looks like this. My morning has been spent cleaning my work area and searching for the propellor. Will begin again now. Edited February 23, 2020 by mpk LSP_Ray, MikeMaben, TorbenD and 4 others 7
