Cheshiretaurus Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Looking very neat, nice work. Quick question, Whats going on ere? CT 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pin Posted February 16, 2015 Author Share Posted February 16, 2015 (edited) It is a weathering technique. Unfortunately I don't know the English term for it (if exists) - the video below gives pretty good idea how it works. It is quite long but you may skip to the middle to see the essentials I don't like the result shown on the video - to my taste it is overdone, the effect on my lanc is much more subtle, barely visible Edited February 16, 2015 by Pin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know what type of thinners he is using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GREG DESTEC Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Amazing, great paintwork and attention to detail, can't wait to see it finished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeW Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 That was fascinating to watch the Lanc just 'grow before ones eyes' Cheers, Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CedB Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Great build Pin - i aspire to that sort of finish. Can I ask how you did these: Perfect, and such THIN but solid looking frames. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spruecutter96 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 I believe this "spot" technique is usually "pin" or filter washing. Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pin Posted February 17, 2015 Author Share Posted February 17, 2015 Masks. The trick is that you don't have to paint the entire frame in one go. Mask, blow, remask, blow again etc. I mask with Tamiya tape that I cut along to get very thin ( < 1mm) strips, the gaps are filled with Gunze masking liquid I believe this "spot" technique is usually "pin" or filter washing. Filter is close but slightly different thing http://www.missing-lynx.com/rare_world/rw02.htm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pin Posted February 19, 2015 Author Share Posted February 19, 2015 Death and destruction in scale Enter trouble.At first, one of bomb bay actuators got brokenThen I lost rudder trimmer compensators. Not a big deal, they were not in scale anyway, nothing that a piece of a wire and a drop of PVA could not solveBut then I took off the masks. How could I do that! I glued in the wrong nose from Mk.1! Should I tear it off and install a correct one? I'm not happy with pilot canopy eitherBut the worst thing is that one of the exhausts was eaten by the carpet monster. I'm thinking about making a resin copy but all my supplies has long passed their "best before" dateI was hoping to declare it complete today, apparently this is not to happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eludia Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I've seen this weathering technique a lot in armour modelling mags and forums. I believe it's called the "oil dot" technique, I've never tried it myself but I have put it on my "worth a try" list. Some examples I've seen are blended (washed?) using thinners on vertical surfaces to depict rain marks etc. (using gravity to create the runs) but also blended without thinner in some cases to depict subtle, and quite random, tonal variation on panels etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pin Posted February 20, 2015 Author Share Posted February 20, 2015 I'm more intrigued by the M&S branding on the box M&S sold a few kits in cooperation with Revell - Spitfire, Concorde, Super Cobra, Jaguar, some cars as well. Funny enough - I remember I read some article in which the author was outrageous because M&S Spitfires are actually made in Germany 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarheellaw Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Actually, try out the dot method. It isn't that difficult. what I mean is, If I did it without mucking things up then you can do it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's only 70 years after the end of the war, what were they thinking. Next they'll be saying that we should be united in some sort of European Union or something That's a very nice looking Lancaster btw, sorry I forgot to mention that earlier 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pin Posted February 21, 2015 Author Share Posted February 21, 2015 End of troubles? Not even close. Tidying up the man cave I manage to hit the plane with a brush hard enough to break it leg. Luckily, the leg and aileron actuators are the only victims of my clumsiness. Fixed Preparing the form for resin copy of exhaust I made a decision and replaced the nose with proper Mk3 version New shiny nose is such a contrast with pilot canopy that is contaminated with some substance inside that I torn it off The extent of a problem. It seems to be glue or thinner - I have no idea how did it get inside. Everything seemed OK when I masked the canopy Fortunately the canopy is thick enough to sand down spoiled area. A dip in Future will complete the repair. I still have to remask and repaint the frame - a great fun! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
