Swamp Donkey Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 I saw lots of these for real up at Sculthorpe (mid/late 70's??) on return from MAP, I think................If I could only find the photo's - would be hard pressed to tell the real thing from this work of art......................

luis pacheco Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Real amazing. Some time ago I saw a P-38 "painted" with rub'n buff and the metal effect were also very real like this one. Congratulations for your friend, sir. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MIRAGEF1 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Every so often on this forum we get this display of amazing talent.....where's the model....? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfpack Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Just proves what I've said since starting my SIG, Rub'N Buff is the way to go. This model shows years of practice. I hope mine look as good one-day. W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keefr22 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Superb, he needs to show us step by step!! FF That would be brilliant, wouldn't it?! I've long admired Mr.Coudeyrette's models on Hyperscale. Every one I've seen has been spectacular - even the non-NMF weathered finishes are astounding when it's considered they're done by a brush. My airbrush finishes aren't a patch on them...!! Definitely some of the best models I've ever seen, the Super Sabre is just magnificent! keef Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary West Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 The real measure of a model - how realistic does it look and that 100 is bang on. Superb! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonymousAA72 Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 (edited) I don't think I've seen a better NMF than this - absolutely stunning finish!! EDIT: been thinking about this; Now many years ago I used rub n'buff, and I can remember reading articles how Ted Taylor used to thin the stuff down and spray it, but from memory of my using it, it was very easy to remove the stuff by handling, with fingerprint residue! So how the dickens does someone manage to build up the heat staining at the rear! We need to be told!! We need a masterclass!!

nimrod54 Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 That's a fabulous model with great detail on the instrument panel and the heat staining on the rear fuselage is outstanding. Brilliant work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's the same rub n'buff i'm accustomed to it's a paste and leaves nasty fingermarks if touched so some demo would be appreciated!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spruecutter96 Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Excellent kit, fantastic execution. That is some of the best "burnt metal" staining on the exhaust I have ever seen - how do you achieve that without an air-brush? I really wish I could build mine even half as good (do I sound a little jealous, yet?) Superb workmanship. Thanks for sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IPMS19 Posted May 14, 2013 Author Share Posted May 14, 2013 For some time now I try my hand with Rub'N Buff, triggered by my friend, to prevent leaving your finger print it is mandatory to use as less product as possible, them spread it at full extense with the oldest short haired brush you have in a circular movement, then you polish the surface with your fingers,( choose the one you prefer) this will leave no prints on your model you will see the result soon with my Il 28 Beagle..

Bri48 Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 @ Bill Clarke Just tried the Ted Taylor way by mixing a small amount of paste with thinners and spraying onto a scrap model......i'm impressed with the result! Cheers for the heads up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean1968 Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 That's not a model, it's the real thing! Outstanding work, and yes he is an artist, a very good one as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bertie McBoatface Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 I have seen your friend's work before. It is always outstanding, but in the rear end of this F-100 he has excelled himself! Inspired photography too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PC2012 Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 I don't want to comment.... I'm too jealous Just when you think you've seen everything and it can't get better..... then look what happens..... damn! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
