NickParker Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 (edited) Hi folks, so I've just finished the beast, a build thats been off and on for the best part of a year,the kit went together well with the exeption of the decals which were pretty nasty. Extras include an Aires cockpit and G-Factor metal undercarriage mostly to support the huge weight. Hope you all like it.

NickParker Posted September 16, 2012 Author Share Posted September 16, 2012 (edited) Really REALLY nice! I particularly like the yellow canopy framing and the panel line weathering. What did you use for that? Thanks Andy, the canopy framing was done using Fantasy Printshops superb strip decals, there available in various colours and come on a sheet of different widths. I simply layed strips along the canopy edge and trimmed them with a new blade, after a little Sol they conformed perfectly ( much easier than painting them )All weathering was done using Flory washes and pigments, hope that helped. Thanks to everyone who left a comment there all much appreciated. Nick Edited September 16, 2012 by NickParker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
