I Mixed gunze H304 and H420 The first uneven coat: Then i carried out the same process. Enlightening the panels then darkening the lines. At the end, the whole surface is toned down with thinned coat of base color. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

chuck540z3 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 (edited) LOVE it rom! It's so nice to see a different paint job- and a great one too- on a model that is rarely built on these forums. It should be show stopper when finished. Edited January 14, 2015 by chuck540z3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Janissary Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Romain, beautiful paint job. I like it a lot. Do you use a darker shade only along the panel lines, or do you use it inside the panels also? I understand the lighter shade goes inside panel, but I was wondering about the darker one. Also, normally I don't like the preshading effect but after the final coat, yours looks so nice! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rom Posted January 14, 2015 Author Share Posted January 14, 2015 thanks guys! Chuck, it will rather be a show "space eater" :D JAnissary, well spotted!! you can see I also added some dark shade in the panels. As for the preshading, I don't know if it was very effective... Yesterday I coated the model with clear varnish and this evening I polished that clear coat. Tomorrow I can start the decals! Cheers! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rom Posted January 17, 2015 Author Share Posted January 17, 2015 Hello Guys! The Bone is fully coated with Microscale gloss varnish. After a day if drying time, the whole surfaces are polished with Micromesh clothes, grade 6000 to 12000. This process is done by wetting the micromesh and surfaces with water. Water is useful to evacuate all the residues in order not to stick on the abrasive mesh. It allows to keep the same abrasive power during the process. It also ensures lubricating properties. After that, contrasts are a bit erased.. it is a bit disappointing... Results: engraved details pop in white due to the polishing residues. they will be removed later. Now we can start decalling! I decided to set these markings: Thanks again for watching! Romain Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rom Posted January 22, 2015 Author Share Posted January 22, 2015 Hello! Decalling was pretty fast forward: Each decal is sealed under a coat of satin clear coat. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rom Posted January 22, 2015 Author Share Posted January 22, 2015 Then I applied the washes. "gris de payne" on the undersides: And Sepia/black on top: Then I sprayed a satin/flat varnish coat: I still have some things to do to achieve weathering, though... ;^) Romain Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rom Posted February 7, 2015 Author Share Posted February 7, 2015 Hello guys, First I put the beast on her legs. It wasn't that easy. Especially for the main gears I put the B1 on a mirror: The weapon bays will be very visible. great! Now some focuses on the weathering. Maintenance scratches are done with watercolor pencil: I also added some oil paint stains Some panels are shown very dirty on some pictures. On the model, they are marked with oil paint. Then wiped/brushed: Some stains are done following a similar process: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Some chipping as well: Chipping is also done on the big RWR panels: I also painted the very nice resin figures by Plus Model: We seriously approach from the end! As always, comments and critiques are welcome ;^) cheers Romain Quote Link to post Share on other sites
