iSteve Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Really nice build progress! I like how well your "chipping" effect worked. I haven't quite mastered the use of a silver pencil crayon yet, but you certainly seem to have the hang of it. I also tried Aqua Gloss for the first time on mine and, yeah, the "gloss" seems a bit patchy. I wonder if one needs to smooth out the finish before applying to get a uniform sheen. Keep the photos coming! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hosbabon Posted December 28, 2016 Author Share Posted December 28, 2016 Thanks Steve. Yes i used both aqua gloss and finished with alclad matt. Im happy with the effect but can't really see the difference between using future and vallejo's matt, which were a lots lets cleaning for the airbrush.

Hosbabon Posted December 28, 2016 Author Share Posted December 28, 2016 Finally finished; missed the deadline but with the chaos of christmas, work and family, hardly surprising ! I finished with a coat of alclad matt. I used shaved artist pastel for my exhausts, combining, black, brown and orange (the only colours i have). The prop was finished with a black wash and tiny drop of vallejo metalliser. Rigging was with Uschi elasticated fine and was a true test of patience to get it set; I'm sure there must be a technique somewhere !! All in all I'm happy with the result. I can see areas for improvement ( my weathering for example ), and I've tried some new things, such as chipping and a pilot ! Apologies for the poor photos, Ill attempt some better tomorrow and post in the RFI section. Next on my list ..... santa was very good; i received Good evening da nang, Eduards F4C in 1/48th and also Tamiyas 1/48th A1J Skyraider !!! decisions decisions !! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
