robw_uk Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 (edited) Started this kit late 2010 but only now got round to completing it.... attempted the salt masking technique to weather... might've over done it just a little WIP is http://s362974870.onlinehome.us/forums/air/index.php?showtopic=212687 so here are the photos... thought as it was so faded I would try it outside..... again, some normal shots plus some "arty" ones Edited May 6, 2011 by robw_uk Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RKic Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 You know, I think the technique would look really good on a larger scale kit. It doesn't look "wrong" though, its just a bit intense. I think yuo may be able to tone it down by loading your airbrush with some clear flat coat, a drop or two of a light brown or sand color, and thinner. Then mist it on over the wings and upper fuselage. It will tone things down a smidge and help tie everything together. Like I said though, its a pretty cool effect.

Scooter Man Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 Hey Rob.... First and foremost, congratulations on completing a model - in my book that's something which I believe is ALWAYS deserving of acknowledgement. Now the one observation I'd like to make in hopes of helping you out is that perhaps you'd be better served by using a solid color under your model when taking pictures of your models - the reason I say this is because the "rough texture" of the background makes it really hard (at least for me) to get the full affect/effect <?> of your model Okay well once again.....nice to see a finished model of one of my fav aircraft. Keep it up! Cheers, Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
robw_uk Posted May 8, 2011 Author Share Posted May 8, 2011 Tim, next time I have the camera and wall paper out I will take some and post them... went for the outdoors look as it was so heavily weathered - felt a high key shot (which is my usual style) would look really out of place,......
