Aigore Posted June 17, 2022 Author Share Posted June 17, 2022 Friday is upon us and so is this update! Hot Metal 3 Finally on the home stretch regarding the engines. SO the upper side it was... I started with drawing violet weldlines across like so. Then it was time for some itty bitty masking again and this time I drew brown weldlines. There.... And some blue weldlines....it looks like a drawing but it'll change as more layers are added. First a clear coat on top to seal the lines and then I went at it with my Tamyia make up and unmask the hatches. Then I painted the hatch clasps red. Another clear coat and then I put down a dark wash all over. There and the cans in place as well. And now for the reaveal! I must say, not half bad . A little dryfit of the fins... There....there will be a wee bit more pigment on the metal but that´s for the final weathering to blend everything together. Next I will continue with those dielectric panels everywhere and small details that needs to be painted. Cheers!

Aigore Posted June 24, 2022 Author Share Posted June 24, 2022 It's Friday and Midsummer so here we go The end of Painting Time to sort out those small thingies, details I mean. So masking...again... Now it's a few different colors so I have to do it carefully but so far so good. So I started with putting my thumb in the white paint! sand and redo...meh. The rest went well though. I painted some details with a chrome pen, like the C/F-dispensers...it'll look better with a wash on Next I glued the strakes in place....that is I glued one and spent 25m searching through the clutter after the other one With all that done I believe painting is done so I sealed all with a clear coat before decals! About the decals btw..... I don't have them they weere sold out everywhere and you remember Hannant's sending me the wrong decals before....so well.. I'm at an impasse right now. I can do the weapons, wheels and pylons but then I'm at a stand still until decals appear again.

F2G_lover Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 I ordered some digital mask and decal sets and resin exhausts from an eBay seller in Ukraine back in May, and they still haven't showed up. I'm guessing something happened en-route given the current terrible situation over there. I may try again with a different seller at a later date. Really been enjoying your build, and hope to see it cross the finish line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were very friendly however when I asked for the wearabouts of my parcel. I have decals on the way from Poland right now so the build will soon resume F2G_lover, LSP_Matt, Landrotten Highlander and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So hopefully that means the masks and decals aren't far behind. Aigore and Paul in Napier 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
