Aigore Posted June 3, 2022 Author Share Posted June 3, 2022 Friday? Again? Heavy metal! Alright, finally done with the cammo! While masking for the dielectric panels I noticed I had made a great dodo! I had switched the tailfins! I painted the right one as the left one and vice verse! I'm just going to live with it....no way I'll redo the fins!!! It looks good enough! Who'll notice? The nose got dark gray too. Heh, the Flanker would look good with tilted fins . Now for the overspray... I just polish with a 2000 grit pad. Before.... After.... Now masking for all those metal surfaces. Then I shot Alclad Gloss Black Base. And here the canvas is ready for metal effects,heatstains and what hve you Cheers! Alex, Fanes, LSP_Kevin and 11 others 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aigore Posted June 10, 2022 Author Share Posted June 10, 2022 Now I hav e a fresh Friday-update for you! Hot Metal It's time to get those wonderful hot metal colours on! I work in layers, the first layer was the shiniest, the Alclad Airframe Aluminium. Next I shot Alclad Polished Aluminium in rough lines and over the small hatches. You see how it is lighter though less shiny than AA. Next I masked the outer part and shot Alclad Polished Brass. Here it was time to mask all the hatches, a piece of cake with the New Ware Mask set. Then I covered all with a thin coat of Alcad Magnesium....and I just had to dry fit the the cans to see how they looked, Still some way to go before they start matching Now for the fun part.....masking for the weldlines! Oh joy. I use a violet Sakura pen to draw the welds. Unmasked it looks like this. Now for the outer part of the same nacelle. Here I felt I started to lose focus and sealed them with a couple of dry coats of gloss varnish. So I do the same to the other nacelle next time.....this will take a few updates so be prepared. Cheers! TankBuster, scvrobeson, Landrotten Highlander and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aigore Posted June 12, 2022 Author Share Posted June 12, 2022 And a little Sunday update for everyone except on ARC, where I can't post pictures for some reason. Hot Metal 2 After the weld lines are in place it's time for some make-up! I gave the welded sections a blue hue and then I demasked the small hatches. Next for some weld lines on the folowing section with brown and blue lines. Before using the Tamyia make-up sets you have to seal the the lines that are drawn. Now I went for a orange base and then lines with blue over the welds....and unmask. LAstly I have the little section before the brass and I masked off the brass and went to town with black and orange pigments. And to finish off todays session I sealed all the hot metal with gloss varnish put down in dry coats. I dry fitted the cans again just to see how it looks....it's getting there Next time I do the upper side.. Cheers!
