SaintsPhil Posted January 24, 2013 Author Share Posted January 24, 2013 I saw a few picks of the 111 carrying them, does look impressive if not a touch impractical as you say! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintsPhil Posted January 31, 2013 Author Share Posted January 31, 2013 It would appear like I'm neglecting this build but rest assured I'm not!! After a fair bit of cleaning up seams etc the whole bird has now been primed! Still a few bits left to sort plus a few smaller bits to add on then I can start painting! The bonus of being a bit slow getting this far is that the paint I ordered has arrived. Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintsPhil Posted February 11, 2013 Author Share Posted February 11, 2013 Thanks chaps, Dave this is the first time I've been happy with it, I've been back over touching bits up 4 times though mind!!! Robin, yes I saw your build was about the same place as mine, yours is looking good too, be nice to have a few Ra'am make it over the line!

SaintsPhil Posted February 11, 2013 Author Share Posted February 11, 2013 (edited) Thanks chaps, I've tried preshading before with mixed results. I'm pretty pleased with the results this time, I think the GSI Mr Color paints are the key, for me at least!

SaintsPhil Posted February 25, 2013 Author Share Posted February 25, 2013 Another overdue update, between a busy week at work and a nasty bout of man flu I got the camo done! The camo looked fairly duanting but I found some 'J's works' masks on Luckymodel and though I'd have a stab at using them. All things considered I'm fairly happy with how it's come out. I've not done hard edged camo before, it might not be realistic but it's pleasing to my eye! Not sure if the shots show it up but I have preshaded and post shaded as well. There are a few areas that need touch up, mostly overspray on to the undersides, plus the nose needs painting otherwise the painting stage is complete! Thanks for looking Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matcham11 Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Thats pretty damn good mate! Bette than mine!! But a bit cheaty with the masks I did mine freehand. But you'rs is really good! Well done! Looking forwards to seeing some more pictures! Robin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintsPhil Posted February 25, 2013 Author Share Posted February 25, 2013 Thanks Robin, I can't decide if I prefer masks or freehand yet. I've done a few free hand but always end up going back and touching up over spray. With the masks I had to touch up leaks and one area that I missed! I'm not sure how much of a cheat they are, fitting 2D masks to a 3D model is a challenge in its self!! Plus the instructions arent all that clear....

Matcham11 Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Yeah, okay, see what you mean Anyway, it looks brilliant! I have to go back and do just a little bit of retouching, but not that much luckily! Anyway, I like your result! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintsPhil Posted February 25, 2013 Author Share Posted February 25, 2013 Thanks, good luck with the touch ups! Nice to have the 2 different approaches on the same model in the GB! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matcham11 Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 It is actually nice to have 2 different yeah, then you can compare yourself!

Dan Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 That's a stunning paint finish! I clocked those masks myself for the aggressor scheme and having recently tackled that using blue tac to mask wish I'd have bought them!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
