BlackCanopy Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 I just love what you're doing with this Revell kit and especially your application of patina ;-) Just one humble question: Weren't the 'cuffs' of the prop actually made from rubber, meaning there wouldn't be any bare metal scratches in this area? greetings, Joerg coogrfan, Nikola Topalov and Antonio Argudo 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest I haven't got a clue. You might be right. Will have to check that. Thanks for noticing! Luckily it's an easy fix if that is the case.

LSP_Kevin Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 Looks fantastic! Great inspiration for when I get a chance to weather the prop on my own build. Kev Nikola Topalov 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scvrobeson Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 That propellor is spectacular. How did you do it? Matt Nikola Topalov 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikola Topalov Posted June 30, 2022 Author Share Posted June 30, 2022 15 hours ago, scvrobeson said: That propellor is spectacular. How did you do it? Matt Hi Matt, Weathering started with randomly spraying Tamiya Deck Tan filter (1:20 paint:thinner) over flat black using Uschi Trinity Splatter template followed by spraying the same filter directly (no template) perpendicular to the blade to simulate ''rotation marks'' i some places. After that I used sponge chipping with Vallejo Metallic Aluminium along the blade edges and brush painted a few marks using quick and precise strokes with very little paint on them. I also sprayed a German Grey filter in the same manner using Trinity Splatter template over the yellow ends of the blades. Hope this helps.

nmayhew Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Really love the overall look Pleased you fixed the cuffs personally I think the panel lines are a bit overdone on the wings - and this is without getting into the whole puttied over discussion - but the rest looks great Nick Nikola Topalov 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
