martin Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 Interesting to watch your progress with the intruder!!!Looking good ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sebastijan Posted March 2, 2007 Author Share Posted March 2, 2007 (edited) TPS applied! So far weathered effect achieved by preshading and some "touch-ups" of different kinds of greys on the panels; I hope you like the results so far... ChernayaAkula, yep, the primers hated eachother though as I said I was qite puzzled cause they're both same brand and the only difference is supposed to be the colour... DrP: alrighty, yours look very nice; I hope mine will as well Martin, hvala Edited March 2, 2007 by Sebastijan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Griff13 Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 Looks AWESOME!! How did you make the wings look like they were one piece like that (Mainly the "hinges")? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
martin Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 It looks really realistic!!! Can you write a few words about how did you do "touch-ups"? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sebastijan Posted March 3, 2007 Author Share Posted March 3, 2007 Griff13: I just simply put them together (I didn't glue the wing halves side panels, though) and glued... some puttying was required because 1mm gap appeared between both wing halves. martin.: I first sprayed the TPS and then used various shades of grey, dilluted with thinner and sprayed it lightly over various panels... the weathering effects will be further enhanced with washes...

Sebastijan Posted March 14, 2007 Author Share Posted March 14, 2007 The oil wash done... It's getting that pretty used look, I think Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chris Kethan Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 WOW! Sebastian, that A-6 kicks ***! What a great paint job. Chris Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sebastijan Posted March 15, 2007 Author Share Posted March 15, 2007 Dull-coated the bird and is now ready for some pastel powder weathering... Also you can see the armament for her. Can anyone please tell me what's the right colour for the Mk20 Rockeye fuse? Most of the modelers paint it aluminium or similar metal shade - is this correct? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sebastijan Posted March 15, 2007 Author Share Posted March 15, 2007 And contrasts faded as well as walkways with pastel powders... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sebastijan Posted March 22, 2007 Author Share Posted March 22, 2007 Gear, hinges, main weapon pylons and underbelly fuel tank added Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aggressor Supporter Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 Looks very good there. The weathering looks well done, not overly done. Keep it up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
slick95 Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 Very nice build, thanks for sharing! If you don't mind my asking, how do you do your oil wash. It's very beautiful and I would like some tips if you don't mind. Thanks! Nice A-6! SLICK Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rodney Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 That is a cool A-6. Are those the kit decals? Rodney Quote Link to post Share on other sites
janman Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 Nice worn out bird you have there, Sebastijan! Really like the looks of it. I can smell the salt water in the panel lines! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sebastijan Posted March 23, 2007 Author Share Posted March 23, 2007 The oil wash was done by mixing Winsor&Newton artist oils Raw Umber and Black with turpentine and applying it with soft brush over the entire upper area and let it dry a bit... Then I start removing the wash from nose towards the tail and I try to remove it unevenly, so to achieve the random splotchy brownish effect on the aircraft... after the upper part is done, I repeat the process on the bottom part of the plane... I then spray a coat of dullcoat over the plane. In case wash is overdone on some places or it was hard to remove from some small corners, you can correct them with various shades of grey pastel powder... The decals are OOB and went on without much problems... even the lowest chevron on the tail, which is supposed to be green and looked like yellow with some darker dots on the decal sheet, looks greenish on the black background.
