kurnass77 Posted November 12, 2011 Author Share Posted November 12, 2011 Hi fellas! I've completed the application of decals and then I started (for the first time) the weathering process with the salt technique explained by chuck540z3 . [/url][/img] [/url][/img] And some pics of the result;no good like the chuck540z3's one but I am quite glad! :P [/url][/img] [/url][/img] [/url][/img] [/url][/img] [/url][/img] Ordnance and landing gear , the latter with a dark grey wash. [/url][/img] [/url][/img] I've also finished to convert and paint the little guys for the vignette. [/url][/img] Now, I've to spray the model with the last clear coat, made the panel wash,spray the semigloss coat and gluing all the pieces! It seems that, after all, I can finish the model in time for the deadline! ;) Naturally, all comment and critique are welcome. Gianni Quote Link to post Share on other sites

arnobiz Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 This is truly amazing work, I am speachless I am doing (I should say "trying to do") something very similar at the moment but I'm gutted by such mastery . Where did you get your deck crew figures? Is your base a printout or a "3D" basis? Arnaud Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Where did you get your deck crew figures? Is your base a printout or a "3D" basis? Arnaud Thanks for your words Arnaud; the base is plasticard that I texturised with trichlorethylene and a toothbrush.The cat rail is directly engraved on the plasticard before the texturization. In a second step I made the hole of the tie down and painted the various taxi stripe. After mask the latters I sprayed the dark grey and star to weathering the deck,simply! And yoyr's?

kurnass77 Posted November 14, 2011 Author Share Posted November 14, 2011 Where did you get your deck crew figures? Arnaud Sorry Arnaud I forget your question!Ok: - yellow shirt; this is simply a Fujimi model from one of the two deck crew set produced by the japanese manufacturer. - green shirt;again a Fujimi's with replaced arms. - red shirt;this is a conversion of a Italeri NATO(?) personel to which I resulpted the arms and the jacket and replaced the head wirh another of the same Italeri set. For any clarification or help please do not hesitate to ask ever happy to help a friend! Gianni Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EX_Birdgunner Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Great work Gianni! I'm glad you got it done in time. Unfortunatly for me between work and family I just could not squeeze in enough hobby time to finish. I'll keep plugging away though and make updates on my WIP. Oh, to answer your earlier question, the Bombcat I am doing is an F-14A Black Knights. -Denis Quote Link to post Share on other sites
