Flying Tiger Posted October 10, 2015 Author Share Posted October 10, 2015 Ooh, oils! Nice! Thanks RKic and yes....for the last 2 years I've been using artist oils as my primary media for modelling after a long experimental to find the best way to use this wonderful media on modelling subbject. I still use all other basic techniques like airbrushing, whashing etc. but oil paint is the one I am using the most.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flying Tiger Posted October 10, 2015 Author Share Posted October 10, 2015 Hi all, I've been so busy with work and haven't got a chance to do anymore on the Nook since....got sometime last night (Friday in Oz) and got some more work done of the cockpit... The floor is done using artist oil colors (except the alu rails with hooks were painted with Humbrol enamel paint) to paint/render, the beauti is that I can paint/render/weathering at the same time... Next, I used artist water color masking fluid (I preferred this masking fluid as it is so thin, almost like water and dries quite quick in thin layer)to mask out all the dials window on the clear instrument panel....then give it 1 or 2 coats of matt black spray can paint.... The control panel being painted and the masking removed, next to it is the console and dash, they are all hand painted with oil colors and a touch of Vallejo acrylic red, white and yellow paint straight on the wet oil (they don't mix...) Here is the dry-fit at the end of the session and the oil paint on the instrument/console/dash are still wet though but I can grab it at the edge/corner and put them together then touch up any mudge I caused by holding it with a small/fine brush straight on the area(s) without adding more paint, the oil just blend it self like magic....once they are dried then I can glue them down.... Until the next time... Cheers Flying Tiger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RKic Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 You airbrush the oils? Do they take a really long time to dry when you then them enough for spraying? How durable is the paint when that thin? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flying Tiger Posted October 17, 2015 Author Share Posted October 17, 2015 You airbrush the oils? Do they take a really long time to dry when you then them enough for spraying? How durable is the paint when that thin? Yes, I do airbrush the oil too but at the moment only for touch up and weathering / smoke trails....I guess you can airbrush it but may need to build up slowly but when it dries (overnight as it's sprayed or small / thin brush painted, unlike real oil art painting on canvas that would take sometime to dry...) and it's really cool that when it's brush painted, it left fine brush marks but when it's dried, all the brush marks are gone. I also use a clear gel (oil colour medium) mixed with the oil paint to reduce brush marks and dries in 2 hours.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flying Tiger Posted October 17, 2015 Author Share Posted October 17, 2015 Some updates on my Chinook... The seats are painted... The bulkhead electrical compartment assembly painted... The cockpit dry-fit, PE seat belts are next....(I'm pretty bad and messy with PE...) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flying Tiger Posted November 2, 2015 Author Share Posted November 2, 2015 It's time to get back to my CH-47A....and before I do some detailing of the cockpit hull interior, I need to clear my mind...now I can do it without thinking of what, where....:) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
