Mal_Belford Posted March 14, 2015 Author Share Posted March 14, 2015 Thanks Parabat.... Yeah...pure accident...i did not feel that i had ispo on my finger...before its to late...but what to say...poo-poo happens sometimes and it is just to fix them clumsy things that happen to every builder sometimes...in this case im happy it were on them plates and NOT on the mottling.....since it then would be mych more work to fix...so in this case easy peasy fixin... /Mal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobster Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Hey Mal, the FW190 looks superb! The chipping and weathering have really brought it to life. Please can I ask for some more detail on the weathering materials you have used to achieve such a realistic and spot on weathered scheme. This is an area I have everything to learn/experiment.

Mal_Belford Posted March 19, 2015 Author Share Posted March 19, 2015 (edited) Rob, thanks fot the nice comment, and yes you can ask. All steps including paint. All oants are Tamiya. 1. I primed the model with Tamiya Light grey Primer, it is hard and it is neccevary, since chippings is invovlved. Wen it is dry, i use very fine wetpaper 2000grit and water ro knock of surface errors, and spot other errors that needs to be fixed. 2. Prehade using Redbrown and Flat black 50/50 so it get that reddish and some retarder in it and yes very diluted, ran it over the model along rivet patterns. Note the top side got another round of preshade with flat black mixed wit some retarder. 3. Then Alclad polished Alu on areas that is going to be chipped. 4. Then Ak chipping On the Alclad. 5. Then all camo painting, masking insignias and do all that. 6. Using water to soften them areas that is going to be chipped, using tooth pick to scrape, until i acheived the desireed effect im after. 7. a layer o glosscoat very diluted, many thin layers for protection. 8. Using Tamiya accent panel line wash to pinwash all panel lines only....when that is dry i use Zippo lighter fluid on a cotton stick to remove them small blobs after the Tamiya accent panel wash. 9. Then brushing all model with Florys dark dirt, let dry and then remove the excess in from front to back, direction, to the point when getting the desired effect im after, 10. Another gloss coat, very diluted and thin layers. 11. Using Tamiya accent panel line wash again to enhance some areas i want. 12. then postshade using redbrown flatblack mix very very diluted, running it over some of them panel lines...not all of them. 13. Do them exhaust gases marks, 14. Decanned Tamiys flat thru AB. Thats about it. i will finally when almost nearly done, ill do streaks using oils, on strategic places. i hope this helps you and that answers your question. /Mal Edited March 19, 2015 by Mal_Belford 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks very realistic, but not overpowering for the scale of the model. Cheers, Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal_Belford Posted March 20, 2015 Author Share Posted March 20, 2015 Thanks Rob. Many small things add to the whole... as examle chipping....make shure it is small flakes the better...also chip along some rivet pattern...and the very edge of them lids, haches, doors and cowling where they often open and close....less is more and easily over done..... trick is....look at pics of worn aircraft...and work liitle by little with pauses betwen let eyes and mind rest...since easier to se the progress.... /Mal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal_Belford Posted March 21, 2015 Author Share Posted March 21, 2015 Them Dirty Legs....eh....Mals Dirty mind lol...a worn bird needs dirty legs....almost done...alomost...the last weathering will be with Florys when they are in place.... /Mal 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal_Belford Posted April 3, 2015 Author Share Posted April 3, 2015 (edited) havent builded in a few weeks.lets see, the spinner i done, yep that nasty White band is a tricky one to do, but now im done, also them blades, every thing just got a pinwash, and shure is shiny still, not finnished yet, also them landing gears is more done, only dry fitted them Wheels, more weathering to do so it fits overall worn of the bird. /Mal Edited April 3, 2015 by Mal_Belford 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mal_Belford Posted April 4, 2015 Author Share Posted April 4, 2015 Oh forgot....them landing gear from different angle... Yes...havent forgot...there will be dust on the lover part of them landing gear doors, but much later....with streak marks that shws a mechanic been there and touched places...yes a small detail...but ads...so meaning liitle and subtle weathering....also try to recreate the small areas where there is no dust after miantance crew prescence, scrape of dust after Tools and so on...on the dust... /Mal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
