Hurricane363 Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Hi all, i've beem making models for about two years now, but these are my first pictures on ARC.

B-17 guy Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 (edited) Looking very good! I'm looking forward to seeing more! Everything look's great, dont think you need any more help to make better models. The cockpit and wheel wells look great, love the details. What paint did you use to get that finnish? I'm really curious about the paint, more details as far as your methods, please. Edited December 30, 2008 by B-17 guy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
caudleryan Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 (edited) Very cool model you got there. I especially like the bare metal finish on it. RYAN. Edited December 30, 2008 by caudleryan Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm really curious about the paint, more details as far as your methods, please. The wings are just pre-shaded with black, then sprayed with Tamiya Aluminium (which needs another coat). The bare metal was done using ALCLAD II Chrome over a gloss black enamel. The only thing with ALCLAD is that it will show up any imperfections, so i had to do an absolute ton of filling and sanding before i applied the black undercoat.

B-17 guy Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Man I was really hoping you wouldnt say alclad! I'm so afraid of using it, read to many horror stories about it, but I've some really good results. I'm so used to doing OD/NG cammo, I'd like to try my hand at a really good NMF but I want to find an easy way that I weather over with out having to worry about wiping off the NMF. Keep the pics coming, I like what you got going and want to see more! She look's great! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

She look's great! I have a sacrificial old 1/32 Zero that I use when I want to try a new paint technique. Might be an idea for you to build up your confidence... -Al Quote Link to post Share on other sites
