Now I hav e a fresh Friday-update for you!


Hot Metal


It's time to get those wonderful hot metal colours on!

I work in layers, the first layer was the shiniest, the Alclad Airframe Aluminium.

Next I shot Alclad Polished Aluminium in rough lines and over the small hatches. You see how it is lighter though less shiny than AA.

Next I masked the outer part and shot Alclad Polished Brass.

Here it was time to mask all the hatches, a piece of cake with the New Ware Mask set.

Then I covered all with a thin coat of Alcad Magnesium....and I just had to dry fit the the cans to see how they looked, Still some way to go before they start matching

Part 3

 

Now for the fun part.....masking for the weldlines! Oh joy.

I use a violet Sakura pen to draw the welds.

Unmasked it looks like this.

Now for the outer part of the same nacelle.

 

IMG_6818.JPG

 

 

 

 

Here I felt I started to lose focus and sealed them with a couple of dry coats of  gloss varnish. So I do the same to the other nacelle next time.....this will take a few updates so be prepared.

Hot Metal 2

 


After the weld lines are in place it's time for some make-up!

 

IMG_6822.JPG

 

 

 

 

 

I gave the welded sections a blue hue and then I demasked the small hatches.

 

IMG_6821.JPG

 

 

 

 

Next for some weld lines on the folowing section with brown and blue lines.

 

IMG_6823.JPG

 

 

 

 

Before using the Tamyia make-up sets you have to seal the the lines that are drawn.

 

IMG_6824.JPG

 

 

 

 

Now I went for a orange base and then lines with blue over the welds....and unmask.

 

IMG_6825.JPG

LAstly I have the little section before the brass  and I masked off the brass and went to town with black and orange pigments.

IMG_6830.JPG

 

 

 

 

And to finish off todays session I sealed all the hot metal with gloss varnish put down in dry coats. I dry fitted the cans again just to see how it looks....it's getting there

Next time I do the upper side..

Friday is upon us and so is this update!


Hot Metal 3

 

Finally on the home stretch regarding the engines.

SO the upper side it was...

I started with drawing violet weldlines across like so.

 

IMG_6832.JPG

 

 

 

 

Then it was time for some itty bitty masking again and this time I drew brown weldlines.

 

IMG_6833.JPG

 

 

 

 

There....

 

IMG_6834.JPG

 

 

 

 

And some blue weldlines....it looks like a drawing but it'll change as more layers are added.

 

IMG_6835.JPG

 

 

 

 

First a clear coat on top to seal the lines and then I went at it with my  Tamyia make up and unmask the hatches.

 

IMG_6836.JPG

 

 

 

 

Then I painted the hatch clasps red.

 

IMG_6837.JPG

 

 

 

 

Another clear coat and then I put down a dark wash all over.

 

IMG_6838.JPG

 

IMG_6839.JPG

 

 

 

 

There and the cans in place as well.

 

IMG_6840.JPG

 

 

 

 

And now for the reaveal!

I must say, not half bad .

 

IMG_6841.JPG

 


IMG_6842.JPG

 


IMG_6843.JPG

 


IMG_6844.JPG

 

 

 

 


A little dryfit of the fins...

 

IMG_6845.JPG

 


IMG_6846.JPG

 

 

 


There....there will be a wee bit more pigment on the metal but that´s for the final weathering to blend everything together.

Next I will continue with those dielectric panels everywhere and small details that needs to be painted.

 

Cheers!

It's Friday and Midsummer so here we go :D

 

The end of Painting


Time to sort out those small thingies, details I mean.

So masking...again...

 

IMG_6865.JPG

 

IMG_6866.JPG

 

IMG_6867.JPG

 

 

 

 

Now it's a few different colors so I have to do it carefully but so far so good.

So I started with putting my thumb in the white paint!  sand and redo...meh.

 

IMG_6868.JPG

 

 

 

 

 

The rest went well though.

 

IMG_6869.JPG

 


IMG_6870.JPG

 

 

 

 


 I painted some details with a chrome pen, like the C/F-dispensers...it'll look better with a wash on

 

IMG_6871.JPG

 

IMG_6872.JPG

 

 

 

 

 

 

Next I glued the strakes in place....that is I glued one and spent 25m searching through the clutter after the other one 

 

IMG_6873.JPG

 

IMG_6874.JPG

 

 

 

 

 


With all that done I believe painting is done so I sealed all with a clear coat before decals!

 

IMG_6875.JPG

 


IMG_6876.JPG

 

 

 

 


About the decals btw..... I don't have them 😛 they weere sold out everywhere and you remember Hannant's sending me the wrong decals before....so well.. I'm at an impasse right now.

I can do the weapons, wheels and pylons but then I'm at a stand still until decals appear again.

 

Cheers!

Hi Janne,

Very nice job you're doing on this bird!

Well, clutter on your bench has remarkably receded; you might as well have spent one whole hour + searching for the missing strake had it been the usual clutter we were used to ;D

Cheers,

 

Gwen

LoL so true :P

thanks :)
