Diego Quijano Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 Hello again, This is a U.S. Marines UH-1N used in Iraq in the first Gulf war. I decided to make it with a side damaged and the other almost intact due to some sort of lateral crash. Some more bigger pics in the blog: Scaleworks Thanks for looking. :D Q Quote Link to post Share on other sites
f12aaa Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 (edited) 1/72? :D Que gran trabajo I have a question about the Mig pigments blended with water Once they are cured, what happens if you touch them with your fingers? Come they out or stay attached to the model? Many thanks, Simone. Edited October 10, 2010 by f12aaa Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Diego Quijano Posted October 12, 2010 Author Share Posted October 12, 2010 Thanks people! I have a question about the Mig pigments blended with water Once they are cured, what happens if you touch them with your fingers? Come they out or stay attached to the model?Many thanks, Simone. Once dry, the pigment blended with water are delicated, if you touch you can remove it or leave your fingerprint. If you want a better fixation after you have finished with the pigment phase you can wet them with "Mig Pigment fixer" or any soft enamel solvent (Humbrol, White Spirit,...). I don´t recomend turpentine. Anyway, I think is better not touch too much a "pigmented" model. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Diego Quijano Posted December 2, 2010 Author Share Posted December 2, 2010 Thank you guys. Absolutely stunning. You are definitely an inspiration to all braille scalers...How did you do the broken glass? Take care, Austin Hi Austin, I made a copy of the windshield with a transparent acetate sheet, like a home made vacuform but without the vacuum, just pressing the heated acetate sheet on the kit´s piece .Then is easy to cut the acetate windshield with a cutting blade giving the broken look.
