Roman Schilhart Posted August 5, 2013 Author Share Posted August 5, 2013 That's really nice. Also interested in how the white was achieved. First, I sprayed the standard 'Splinter Camoflage' with Gunze RLM colours according to instructions. When dry, some parts of the model were covered with Tamiya Tape (larger areas, like the spine of the aircraft). Around the tape I applied some Vaseline creme with an old brush, covering all edges. Tiny bits of Vaseline were also applied all over the airframe in order to get a 'chipped effect'. Then I oversprayed with Tamiya White, adding some color variations with drops of tan, creme and brown. When this layer had dried out, I pulled off the masking tape and wiped the Vaseline creme away with a damp cloth. This is a very safe technique that will not damage the underlying paint. Finally, sanding with fine-grit wet&dry paper (8000-12000) to achieve a worn finish. Sounds complicated but it's really easy to do. Tried it first on the outer wing of my B-17G 'A Bit O'Lace' (http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234942534-172-revell-b-17g-a-bit-olace/). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snapper_city Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Thanks for the info. Yes I remember 'A Bit O Lace' now. Doesn't seem to difficult. Did you protect the under paint scheme at all or just vaseline over the top? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roman Schilhart Posted August 5, 2013 Author Share Posted August 5, 2013 Thanks for the info. Yes I remember 'A Bit O Lace' now. Doesn't seem to difficult. Did you protect the under paint scheme at all or just vaseline over the top? A better effect will be achieved when the basic camoflage is sealed with Gloss Cote. It will be a little bit easier to remove the Vaseline creme when underlying surface is smooth, but can be done without this additional layer. Both ways, there is absolutely no risk of damaging the basic paint as the Vaseline creme is not aggressive and leaves no residues of any kind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snapper_city Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Wonderful. I think it is always better to protect the under coat to save damage by scratching or the masking tape pulling a bit up. Thanks again for the info... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AirfixAndy Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 A very interesting technique for winter white washes....looks very smart. Cant wait to see the look on the Mrs when I come home with several jars of Vaseline !! ...... Andy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cunners Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 hadn't heard of using Vaseline before, might have to give that a try Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burncpt Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Absolutely love this scheme - every so often something comes along and you think "how the hell did they get that so convincing?". I'm sure there are more ways to skin a cat but this camo is brilliant. I have a Dragon 48th 88 in the stash and I think it will be getting this kind of treatment!

stevehnz Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 That is a super bit of modelling, a lot more "interesting" than I expected from a winter scheme, & a really neat way to achieve this type of finish, thanks. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
