Jon Kunac-Tabinor Posted August 4, 2014 Author Share Posted August 4, 2014 Coming late to this one, Jonners, but it looks fantastic. Dumb question - how do you get the grimy/shadowy effect around the items on the instrument panel? Enquiring minds really want to know!! I use washes made up from tamiya acrylic thinners with either Games Worksop Seraphim Sepia or Chaos black, or a mix of both depending how black or brown I want it to be Sometimes I'll add a bit of quickshine ( Klear/future) too - for instance if Im washing over oils, as i find this seals the surface better. I apply the wash using a small brush so it flows round the items. Once it dries, I will take a vie won whether i want it to be darker - and add more, or i may dry brush over to lift highlights, and then apply a very thin wash back over the top to blend them in. Its all rather hit and miss really, but it works for me. Glad you like it anyhow!! cheers jonners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Kunac-Tabinor Posted August 4, 2014 Author Share Posted August 4, 2014 Put a candle in your window tonight about ten. Stop modelling, and turn your lights out. Just spend a few moments to remember the start of the Great War. You owe it to those that went and did not return; those that went and returned, damaged; and those that sat waiting for loved ones at home. "The lamps are going out all over Europe, we shall not see them lit again in our life-time" Sometimes I wonder if they have come back on even today.

Jon Kunac-Tabinor Posted August 9, 2014 Author Share Posted August 9, 2014 Hi all, spent the afternoon fighting a tad with fit issues. All my fault i think. Happy now - so pics tomorrow. Jonners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Kunac-Tabinor Posted August 15, 2014 Author Share Posted August 15, 2014 Not quite tomorrow but progress has been made. The top cowling / cockpit coaming fought me like vampire accidentally walking into The Garlic Fanciers Congress However - after a bit of this and a bit of that . heres the current state of play I'm now on holibobs for the week in Croatia, so will return to the Three Winged Doggy when I get back.

Doug Rogers Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Nice tidy work Jonners, looking great. I've used small blobs of PVA to attach my wires, just hoping that it won't cause me some fit issues as well. Seems ok with a few cursory test fits. Have a good time in Croatia, me and some old friends are thinking of going there, looks beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Kunac-Tabinor Posted September 6, 2014 Author Share Posted September 6, 2014 Well the triplane is now in its new modelling room, so work can re start. TBH - having my own place with a modelling room is rather nice. Lots of bookshelves too for for references Bring it on! Jonners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Kunac-Tabinor Posted October 1, 2014 Author Share Posted October 1, 2014 Right - Ive been experimenting with some new decals for the CDL and PC12 finish. Results are really promising, but I need to work out my application methodology a little more, so stay tuned Didn't want you to think I was being idle!!

Jon Kunac-Tabinor Posted October 11, 2014 Author Share Posted October 11, 2014 Morning - OK so some painting has started. Cowling and side panels are brushed Citadel Runefang Steel mixed with SNJ polishing powder and Quickshine, then more SNJ is buffed in. a final seal with Quickshine. This will all be painted over, but I want a base for the paint chips! Engine has been painted Vallejo Oily steel, and washed with a oily brown black wash. Nearly ready to show you the decals for the CDL and PC10/12. Jonners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
