harrison90 Posted September 4, 2015 Author Share Posted September 4, 2015 Salt weathering done. Not too bad so far. On to oils and toning everything down a bit and blending everything better. Hope you like! Cheers, Harrison 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martian Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 I think I would be inclined to leave the salt staining as it is now. Don't forget that these aircraft would have been hosed down with fresh water on a regular basis when at sea. Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget that these aircraft would have been hosed down with fresh water on a regular basis when at sea. Martin Did not know that. However, I am wanting to go for a grungier, dirty look. Hopefully not too far out of the realm of the real thing. Thanks, Harrison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harrison90 Posted September 8, 2015 Author Share Posted September 8, 2015 Well, didn't quite get this done before going back to school, but close. A few more little things and a flat coat and that should about do it. However this weathering has been done using mostly oils but also the awesome Windsor and Newton Watercolour Markers. Great for easy blending and precise application. They are expensive but highly recommended. Hope you enjoy. Continue to feel free to comment, as always.

harrison90 Posted September 15, 2015 Author Share Posted September 15, 2015 (edited) She's done from what I can tell. Has been incredibly hectic, what with school and work and all going on. Hope you all like it and enjoy it. I do hope to bring you my next build but do not know when or if I will have time. Let me know. Thanks.

S5 modeller Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 She look lovely, Harrison, well done. I have one to build at some point. If I only get it half as good as yours, I'll be happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martian Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 It has turned out really well but that this was going to be the case has been apparent throughout the build! Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
