rom Posted February 19, 2008 Author Share Posted February 19, 2008 Thanks!!!! I have one question.... I'm going to paint the darker color first, in order to keep the preshading effect for the lighter colors... Am i right??? bye!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Likoyan Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 I like very much your build, keep on!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Darth2307 Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Hey Rom! Looks great. About the darker color. If you freehand your camoflauge, I would start with the lighter color and paint only where you want the color. Then choose the next color and paint it. I usually try to start with the light colors and then do the dark last. just my preference. Keep up the great work! Can't wait to see it done! Brandon :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Darth2307 Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Hey Rom, while I'm here, I have noticed your painting on your engines and the bare metal areas. They are amazing. What is your secret to doing them? Wish mine would turn out like yours :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rom Posted February 19, 2008 Author Share Posted February 19, 2008 thank you brandon and likoyan! concerning the engines, i spray Humbrol 27003 "metalizer". It needs to be polished after drying.. it gives the shiny metal effect. Then i use this color mixed with others like black, blue, red, aluminium... one per time! with this new color i fill some panels, i draw some lines.. I do a wash too... then i aply oil paint : burnt umber, burnt sienna and raw sienna.. i brush the little touch with a paintbrush in the wind flow direction It's not very difficult but it needs time!! hope it helps... Oh, and too late... i started to spray darker green... we will see.... bye!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Darth2307 Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Thanks for the help on the engines. do you give them a clearcoat of somekind after you do all your painting and weathering? I don't think it will matter much that you started with the dark paint first. I've seen your other builds and I don't think you can make a mistake! You have some great talent! Keep up the great work!

rom Posted February 19, 2008 Author Share Posted February 19, 2008 on the engines , i spray future/klir after... For my paintjob.... my airbrush is not a great one!! . . . . And after trying to obtain a nice effect, i decided to use masks..... i just painted that: It will be better with masks... i can't obtain a regular thin paintflow i going to print scheme drawings, and cut them... So, in this case, wich color first? lighter? bye Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Darth2307 Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 ROM. I would use the lighter first with masks. Are you going to use some bluetack to hold the masks down? That way the masks won't be directly on the plastic and you will get a small faded area. Will look really nice! Just remember, I am still a rookie at this hobby! :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rom Posted February 19, 2008 Author Share Posted February 19, 2008 you're right brandon! i wil use bluetack (called here "patafix") to hold the mask upon the surface. I will spray the sand color tomorow... free hand but not with precision. bye Quote Link to post Share on other sites
foxmulder_ms Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 nice one, su-27 is the most beautiful bird out there for me:D i cannot get enough of it and you are a fast modeller rom... great job. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rom Posted February 20, 2008 Author Share Posted February 20, 2008 fast modeller... maybe not... due to my cr#py airbrush! But the result will be better with masks..... ... longer but better!! Thanks again to all of you for supporting me! i really apreciate!! bye Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rom Posted February 20, 2008 Author Share Posted February 20, 2008 salut! i started painting sand yellow... it's free hand and it will be corected by the masks... bye!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rom Posted February 20, 2008 Author Share Posted February 20, 2008 progress : I took a long long time to spray that!! next step : adjusting mask for dark green... bye! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Darth2307 Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Looks Great ROM!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rom Posted February 20, 2008 Author Share Posted February 20, 2008 (edited) I've just painted the stabs... The result with masks gives a thinner fading...more realistic at this scale than the free hand.... I cut the masks in a scale printed draw, then i put a roll of bluetack under it... and put it on the model... The blue tack let some traces on the paint... hope it will go with some white spirit.. bye!! Edited February 20, 2008 by rom Quote Link to post Share on other sites
