Aigore Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 There The Farmer is finally done! I must say that it was a pretty challenging build with that resin nose and a metal finish on top of that! I´m happy with the result and I think I got that oxidized aluminium look down realy nice. Of course it´s not perfect and I highly doubt I´d win awards with it but none the less I´m pleased to have learnt new ways of weathering metal finishes.I put down some heavy flat coats and as I fingered the kit I noticed how I rubbed off some of the flat coat with my fingers. At first I thought this was aggravating but after a little reconsideration I decided this was actually good since I can make the surface more alive with having patches that are worn smooth where it has been handeled by say ground crew and that I could make patches with heavy flat coat where the surface could have been bettered. Other weathering was done with more traditional means of artis oil washes :D Hopa ya like my little MiG..be prepared for lots of pics as usual :D End of part 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
