Bernie Mac Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 (edited) Hi all, So I have been "working" on this one for a while. I picked it up as a quick OOB build to get some practise at a prop aircraft and to see what all the fuss is about with these tamiya kits. Must say the hype is definitely real! Anyway I say "working" as it got benched a couple time as I recent bought a van and have been converting it into a camper so that has taken all my focus. OK now onto the mozzy, I tried a few new techniques here and wanted to experiment. Some things were successful, some were less so, but what is certain is that my photography skills and combination of my phones camera don't do any of it justice. Enough waffling, on with the photos! The office: So one of the experiments was the pre-shading...on a plane made of wood! I wanted to liven up the surface a little so it didn't look like a tube with wings. I gave it a two toned pre-shade and then painted it with a very thin and transparent colour. It kind of gives a tiger strip look and an uneven shade. I only applied this to the top surfaces, as if it was a sun bleaching of sorts. The final product unfortunately had a good bit of silvering with the decals despite a large amount of micro sol! Anyway you win some, you lose some! Edited May 7, 2017 by Bernie Mac Fixed photos 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorby Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Nice job - the pre-shading worked well. You made a better job than I did of mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bernie Mac Posted May 7, 2017 Author Share Posted May 7, 2017 Ok so I have used a different host site for the auld photos, may have been a permission issue the first time. Let me know if people still can't view them. I will see if I can get some better natural light photos some time this week as I think the colours may be distorted due to the artificial light.
