Aigore Posted February 6, 2022 Author Share Posted February 6, 2022 Ah, it´s Sunday and you know what that means, updateytime! Always bring the weather with you... Yes, time to weather the beast! Started with a wash in the wheel bays....I didn´t want to over do it....too much. I'll leave it as this until I have another look at it in a different light but I doubt I need to add more, maybe remove. Then I sloshed a wash on a wing, the fact is that the model is so big and unwieldy that I have to weather in increments. It doesn´t do wonders for my inpingement in my shoulder. Wiped it off....doesn´t look half bad really Both wings done... And the forward section.... And this is the result after the wash looks good at a distance but I might return to clean up areas...or add. it´s not done until the flat coat is down. Next for some streaking, leaks and dirt with pigments.....I love pigments! You can weather so fast with pigments instead of laying down a gazillion different washes. And the belly is done....well like I said I will have a second look to see if it holds water. Starting to come alive don´t you think?

Violator1991 Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 Great weathering Aigore! Totally shows all the nice details and makes it a Viggen with quite flying hours. Wondering how the topside will look Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Phartycr0c It's a process over the years I noticed that the weathering took longera and longer to do but ended up being less Phartycr0c 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aigore Posted February 11, 2022 Author Share Posted February 11, 2022 It's Friday and the weathering continues... Beginning of the end... It's time to weather the upperside! First a panel wash, I tried AK panelliner for Brown And green..I tested it first on the wing before comitting to it. Not too shabby, I wanted a darkish wash but not black because it kind of takes over too much from the paintjob. So I happily sloshed it all over the place And wiped off. That square was painted ontop of the gloss coat and didn´t like the wash....just as well since it´s in the wrong place I will remove and redo. I like how it turns light in the black panels....really nice stuff. With the panellines done I used LC Zinc chrome yellow to post shade. Yeah, maybe I over did it here and there but no worries it´ll be nice in the end. There, now for some Tamiya smoke to tone things down a bit and darken around panels and hatches. Goood, goood....first I did was spill a big splotch from the cup on the wing, well made it smear aout with a wet paint brush. And it's on....all is very sublte. OK, got to mask the nose tip before the flat coat. Then on with the flat coat. I just have to unmask the cockpit now! Looks good....I will have to clean the windshield from tape residue but that´s ok. Well....I´m on the final lap with this More weathering in the next update Cheers! johncrow, Isar 30/07, Anthony in NZ and 15 others 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stokey Pete Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 I’ve been eager to see how you’d bring the paint job to life. Bravo sir. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
