Koen L Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 Step1: The linedrawing (which will be improved later) Step2: Added the basic colours and a few markings: That's it for now, to be continued. Koen Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GreyGhost Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Looking like a SLUF already Koen,that's a Good Thing !!! Thanks for the step by step thread ... Gregg Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Koen L Posted February 22, 2006 Author Share Posted February 22, 2006 Thanks Gregg, I'm updating the linedrawing a lot right now so not much progress to be shown. When I do have some I'll post it of course! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Koen L Posted February 23, 2006 Author Share Posted February 23, 2006 Adjusted the linedrawings and colours and added some more markings/stencils: Added some weathering effects and started with some shadows. I don't always have a fixed order in which I do the profiles, when I feel like doing a certain part I'll work on that. To be continued.... Koen Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Koen L Posted February 23, 2006 Author Share Posted February 23, 2006 Here's a picture of the original by the way. I'm not sure yet if I'll add the droptank and MER as most of the A-7's at Araxos were in the clean configuration. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GreyGhost Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 That's coming along Great Koen, I'm enjoying your progress however you see fit ... Gregg Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Apollo Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Very nice as always Koen, looking forward to see the amount of weathering you will apply to this one. Must say, she looks good with the MER, etc on the photograph. Cheers, Piet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Koen L Posted February 24, 2006 Author Share Posted February 24, 2006 Thanks guys! The weathering is the reason I've picked this particular one so stay tuned for loads of it. :lol: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kostas T Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Very nice work :lol: Waiting for the weathering looks really good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Koen L Posted February 26, 2006 Author Share Posted February 26, 2006 Started making it a bit dirty near the tail: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Koen L Posted February 27, 2006 Author Share Posted February 27, 2006 (edited) Added some birdsh*t as well. :lol: Edited February 28, 2006 by Koen L Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stelios2000 Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 fantastic job Koen... however i live in the A-7 previous airport nest-crete/chania- and i havent seen them for over 20years without the fuel tanks. At least they carried one.... anyway your job is fantastic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Koen L Posted February 28, 2006 Author Share Posted February 28, 2006 Thanks a lot Stelios! I had a visit at Araxos last September and about 50% of them didn't carry anything on the pylons. Still to add some interest I will add fueltanks and probably the MER. Koen Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Koen L Posted March 1, 2006 Author Share Posted March 1, 2006 And we have a fueltank: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TF51GREGWISE Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 Koen, Looking very good!! I've never seen this done before. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Koen L Posted March 2, 2006 Author Share Posted March 2, 2006 Thanks Greg! A productive day saw the addition of the wing and the MER. I included a close up of the MER since I was pretty happy with how it came out! It's a bit dark as I need to adjust the shadow layer but I'll save that stuff for last.

Apollo Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 Hi Koen, Coming along nicely my friend, weathering true to form. Agree with you, shadow needs to be changed a bit, but so far very well done. The addition of the underwing stores make a big difference. Have you started your twin-cab Mirage model already? Cheers, Piet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Koen L Posted March 6, 2006 Author Share Posted March 6, 2006 Thanks a lot Piet! I heard some talk about a twoseat-conversion and some other goodies coming out for the kit this year so I decided to wait a bit and see what that would be like. :o Koen Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GreyGhost Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 Your Corsair is looking quite nice Koen !!! Gregg Quote Link to post Share on other sites
David Walker Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 (edited) It's very interesting to watch the process as you build layer by layer. And I particularly like the birds**t. Very realistic. Edited March 7, 2006 by David Walker Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Koen L Posted March 12, 2006 Author Share Posted March 12, 2006 Added/changed some more details and weathering. Now I need to add the cockpit with the SJU-8/A seat so if someone has a good photo looking into the cockpit from the left side and detail pics of the SJU-8/A seat that would be great. After that it's the shadows and highlights and then I can call it finished. Koen Quote Link to post Share on other sites
David Walker Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 Again, great job. It looks amazing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brutalos Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Absolutely realistic! Crazy ammount of time and artistic creativity given on this profile. But then again its Koen_L, we couldnt expect something else . Keep it up my friend, it is going great. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Koen L Posted March 17, 2006 Author Share Posted March 17, 2006 Finished the cockpit area. On to the final weathering and the shadows and highlights! Thanks to Dirk and Brutalos for their help. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Impatient Pete Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 Ooohhhhh niiiiice. I was wondering what you were going to do with the canopy area. Nice pilot. Did you mention what program you are using? Pete Quote Link to post Share on other sites
