klimmer Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Very impressive. What did you use for the base and the netting (cheesecloth?). I am curious because I am looking to get into building some diarama's. Thanks :D Quote Link to post Share on other sites
themarquetteguy Posted February 27, 2006 Author Share Posted February 27, 2006 been away on vacation :D ....The netting is simply first aid bandge...trick is to make is stiff enough...soak it in paint and spray it with required color...as for the base, normal pine wood Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Don Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Nice work on the diorama and the kit(s)! I like the idea of a late war theme. I am thinking about doing one similar for the Defense of the Reich GB later this year. Well done and thanks for sharing. Regards, Don Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jr_rules2 Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Very, very nice. I like the camo job on your plane. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
moeggo Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Wow! Thats a great looking Dio! I hope that you're think of joining in the Defence of the Reich GB! Love to see a dio like that in the build! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
themarquetteguy Posted March 3, 2006 Author Share Posted March 3, 2006 Hi Folks, Thanks for the kind words!...OK, finally manage to catch a breath after visiting the beautiful land of "The lord of the Rings"...I think it is time for me to share my journey through this built :D so...here it goes...MY JOURNEY into the unknown... First episode...The "Tub" Nothing special....Instead of using the Decal provided, It was dry brushed and details pick by using a tiny toothpick.... did not check on phot reference till too late...so, some of the colors are wrong. The dials were given a drop of 'future' to give is some gloss Quote Link to post Share on other sites
themarquetteguy Posted March 3, 2006 Author Share Posted March 3, 2006 Next up, ....paint all those nitty gritty parts that needs to be painted prior to assembly.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
themarquetteguy Posted March 3, 2006 Author Share Posted March 3, 2006 Assembled and space filled.....no sanding needed, just fill it in with Tamiya putty, let dry it and clean off the 'mess' with Mr Thinner...no surprise Quote Link to post Share on other sites
themarquetteguy Posted March 3, 2006 Author Share Posted March 3, 2006 The rest of the 'cast" :D Primed and shaded ( I use german grey)...again, a present episode Quote Link to post Share on other sites
themarquetteguy Posted March 3, 2006 Author Share Posted March 3, 2006 The Real fun part begins...PAINTING!... The underside is light blue and the primary upper coat is light green...btw, I use Mr Color Lacquer paint for air brushing and arcylic paint for hand painting As you can see below, I did not care much about having the undercoat 'even'.... The dark grenn whould 'blend in' and resolve the issue. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
themarquetteguy Posted March 3, 2006 Author Share Posted March 3, 2006 Next up, the Drak green camo paint....1st tricky spot that I encounter!....The dark green was thinner than the usual mix, 5:1....I wanted to make sure that the paint will flow smoothly given that I will be using very low pressure (16 psi) and the smallest spray angle... This was done freehand :D (yep, I did mess up some spots which I corrected in the next step using the light green) Overall... I loved it! :D ....successfully pass through the 1st challenge in my view Quote Link to post Share on other sites
themarquetteguy Posted March 3, 2006 Author Share Posted March 3, 2006 Moving right along.... The rest of the cast were painted as well. Special note: I use Bare Metal Foil on the undercarriage strut and landing gear (you can tell from the shiny silver in the photo....1st time I have done this and it won't be the last ! :D .great stuff!) The wheel hubs required 'semi gloss' black...I was lazy...spray painted the entire wheel in Matt Black and applied Future to the hub....works like a charm! btw, Bombs were RLM02...oh yes.... most of the interior calls for Silver... I use Alcald...first time again...NICE paint! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
themarquetteguy Posted March 3, 2006 Author Share Posted March 3, 2006 Next Episode..."The Dreaded Decals".... I personally have mix experiences with this portion many times over and it was with much anxiety that I took this path.... should I use microsol, mr mark or something else??..... OK, I will try the one I was taught in my 'aircraft modelling 001' course...SPRAY CLEAR COAT DIRECT to decal !.... I mix a very thin solution of mr clear gloss and mr thinner....this is to ensure that it does not clog up the nozzle and not tear up the whole thing. As expected, the decal wrinkles and fear struck me!...HOWEVER, I can easily use a cotton bud and straighten it!.. be very very careful...not for the faint hearted.... try it out on some scrap plane to see if decal can take this stress.... It was GREAT on this kit! :D As you can see below...It bites into the surface!....PHEW! :D Quote Link to post Share on other sites
themarquetteguy Posted March 3, 2006 Author Share Posted March 3, 2006 Next...Flat coat (no pics) The next epidose "Final Countdown..... Chipping and washing" I use the chipping method taught by Floyd Werner in his Master class modeling Videos " Master Class Clinic #1 - Building the BF-109G-6"...use a silver pencil and randomly knock it against the leading edge of the wings....result below Washing...I user raw umber with thinner...and gave it a 'good' wash... think I over did it :unsure: ....almost done.....

themarquetteguy Posted March 3, 2006 Author Share Posted March 3, 2006 End of Part 1.... Final Assembly Canopy and Antenne wire added ( I use my daughter hair in this case :unsure: )...Thanks Jasmine, for your 'contribution' to this model :D oh yes... need to give it some dry brushing here and there to enhance the raised parts of the model...no particular color,.... just light enough to show the difference End of Part 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ron Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 It really looks good. Nice work, Ron Quote Link to post Share on other sites
