Citadelgrad Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Amazing. Really, the dedication and intricate work is somehow both an inspiration and discouraging at the same time. My humble efforts languish as i gawp at builds like this. happy Thanksgiving. chuck540z3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just love the extremely neat execution of your builds and the Tempest is no exception. What's next? Thank you everyone! I really appreciate your kind comments. So "Starfighter", guess what my next build will be? I'm not only going for a bare metal finish, but a weathered and scratched BMF. Just look at the tops of those birds from aircrew sliding all around! Cheers, Chuck Starfighter and JayW 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did a search but didn't come up with anything that looked like what you might have used. Thanks! Oh, and the pictures are AWESOME! Just like your build...

Chris Chris, Look towards the bottom of my build thread on October 29th for True Earth Metaliners below. It's all there with the following comment: Each successive layer of weathering tends to diminish the one before it, so what you see at this stage has been backed off by salt weathering and other staining later. As a result I tend to overdo each layer, with the hopes that the final weathering is a nice complex sum of all the layers (if that makes any sense). True Earth Metaliners Cheers, Chuck CANicoll 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wish I had half of your scratch made skills. Your work is always amazing and a joy to witness. There was a local model contest in September, but I passed due to Covid. At 66 years of age, there's no use taking any unnecessary chances and unfortunately, not everybody "gets it" when it comes to this dangerous virus and how to behave accordingly. Enough said.

Greif8 Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 What a beautiful build Chuck. I really like the way you muted the paint job as the camo colors blend very well together. You first photo of the model in B&W looks exactly like the real aircraft. Ernest chuck540z3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcel111 Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Such an incredible model, about the most real looking I have ever come across. Wow! I think you’ve taking the weathering and finishing to another level, and the level was already sky high. Cheers, Marcel chuck540z3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
