Rotorman Posted February 19, 2017 Author Share Posted February 19, 2017 After reviewing several photos of the helicopter carrier decks I felt mine was a bit dark too dark and not grainy enough so I started over. I am also working on the subfloor for the hatch since I will add figure sitting on the deck. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Luca Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 (edited) Excellent job, my compliments! what material did you use to make the deck and surface? Edited February 20, 2017 by Luca Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rotorman Posted February 19, 2017 Author Share Posted February 19, 2017 (edited) I used a black plexiglass sheet cut to size then drilled the holes. For the texture of the deck I used texture paint from a spray can . Edited February 19, 2017 by Rotorman Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rotorman Posted February 20, 2017 Author Share Posted February 20, 2017 Painted the marking around the hatches. Now I can start weathering the base. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kike Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 damn! What do you mean subfloor? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rotorman Posted February 25, 2017 Author Share Posted February 25, 2017 (edited) Kike, just the area below the open hatch, I had to build it since I will have a guy sitting on the floor with legs hanging down in the hole. Norbert made these for me for my dio to be by open hatche. Edited February 25, 2017 by Rotorman Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ernest Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Wow, how intricately minded, planning every detail, marveling Oliver. Excellent. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rotorman Posted February 27, 2017 Author Share Posted February 27, 2017 (edited) It feels to me like this dio is always in motion...things get changed as the painting begins. The white tractor is halfway done. The bigger tractor will soon receive a coat of yellow and the trailer will be painted Insigna White instead of flat white.
