themongoose Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 Oh this is awesome, I’m a fan boy now! Really cool approach to it. Looks like a perfect application, and all pretty much free-hand as well. RadBaron 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunnus Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 Hypnotic is an accurate description! Wonderful airbrush control with this complex scheme! RadBaron and sandokan 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadBaron Posted July 26, 2023 Author Share Posted July 26, 2023 (edited) The will of the Hypno-fiat cannot be understood by man, however whatever it's motivation... IT HAS RETURNED! Perhaps the allure of fresh, unsuspecting eyes at an upcoming local model show was enough to draw it off the shelf of doom, we may never know.... For now, however, we're making progress. I've skipped a couple of steps here, paint touch ups, kit decals applied. And weathering has been applied. I've tried following Chris Wauchop's techniques, spraying highly thinned black and black/red brown around panel lines, MRP exhaust soot, Tamiya deck tan etc. And a sharp PrismaColor pencil for some chipping. The orange headrest is just the first coat, in an attempted to simulate the worn, weather exposed leather. Trying some different techniques on this one, because who needs a paint mule when you can just risk ruining a complex paint job Test fitting the engine and cowling. This might just work! The kit decals went on beautifully, thank goodness! I was going to cut paint masks, but got lazy and wanted to get this done, so THAT gamble paid off All the little bits and pieces are being finished off and will be coming together in short order!

Hans Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 That is a beautifully rendered camouflage scheme, Denzil. The Italian who designed it was no doubt inspired by a spotted octopus RadBaron 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scvrobeson Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 Fantastic work! The camo is excellent, and the exhaust staining is really impressive. That's one skill that I've really got to improve on. Matt RadBaron 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its simple, so have a play with it! I'm eager to try it on other builds now scvrobeson and Greg W 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
