Aigore Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Done!!! Been a pain building this thing but the decals really made up for it in the end :D Not perhaps my best build but it sure sticks out in a crowd :P It´s better viewed from 3ft rather than up close and dirty... I went for a glossy finish and no washes for the panellines at all...not even a light one, it´s the decals that are the focus in this build and they do not bennefit from coloured panellines I think And since it´s my kit you don´t get to have a say :P Well here´s my Black Panther Tornado! Gonna be lots of pics as usual.... First off 3 pics taken indoors the rest is taken on my balcony.. That´s it for part 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aigore Posted May 17, 2009 Author Share Posted May 17, 2009 Part 2 Well that´s it for the Tornado :D Thanx for all the support and suggestions during the build! Cheers! See you on the next build! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RedFlag Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 BRAVO Janne How did you pull off that decal-ing? Really great job Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spooky 01 Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Stunning build my friend !!! As You already mentioned Yourself, there might be a few flaw's. Still, no critiques coming from me. At least You've bagged yet another one !!! As for the panel-lines; To me the good part about a "BMF" scheme is that the engraved panel-lines somewhat "cast a shade" within the engraved lines, making them pretty visable even without a wash. I think You've mad a wise decision on that part... Just my 2c of course. Sooo, what's next on the bench...? "Check Six....." Spooky. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Aigore Posted May 17, 2009 Author Share Posted May 17, 2009 BRAVO Janne How did you pull off that decal-ing? Really great job Thanx Chris With lots and lots of microsol and a few other tricks up my sleave...... Gonna let you in on a secret..... You know when you´ve put on a decal over protruding detail on the surface of the kit? like so.... and no ammount of microsol seems to help... Dip a topz in water and heat it over a flame until it´s hot Press it against the decal at the offending spot... and it will conform to your will!! nifty eh? Stunning build my friend !!!

Najk Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 As always, a really nice build, Janne! A few flaws to be seen, but as Spooky said, at least you finish a kit once every now and then.. I really, really like that scheme, it sure looks the part! I for sure wouldn't mind having that one in my collection.. Now I've gotta start building again myself.. :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
