Totally Mad Olivier Posted June 7, 2020 Author Share Posted June 7, 2020 Mmm... My dear Harvey, I wonder if I am not going to really change my nickname in Brit (this de St Raph could suggest that I am of blue blood what is not at all the case). I think Totally Mad Olivier would connect with me better. What do you think? Of course, this nickname is not so important after all, and I don't know how to modify it (is it even possible?) but... In the meantime, a new little (very little) update, my ventilation unit being ready for the painting job: Cheers, Olivier 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeroenS Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 The admins can change the nickname for you Olivier, I say go for it 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totally Mad Olivier Posted June 7, 2020 Author Share Posted June 7, 2020 Ok, Jeroen, but what should I do? Write to whom? Thanks in advance Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeroenS Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 The process is describe here: Mike is a moderator so he could fix this for you if you really really want to go through with this. I'm sure the nickname "Totally Mad Olivier" is still free hahaha... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totally Mad Olivier Posted June 7, 2020 Author Share Posted June 7, 2020 Thanks a lot, Jeroen! One more time, you give me a hand about the Brit how to use... Well, as you can see, it's done! A good thing, as I was not very happy with this nickname, chosen very quickly as I was doing my first steps in Brit a few years ago, in the Fiat 806 Gangshow thread (it seems to me very long ago, September 7, 2016 on p. 25...) Now you can call me TMO... To come-back to my Mustang, I must say that the strategy of painting for the dashboard is not simple. As I said above, I will first paint the Blue dashboard cap (after masking), then the WW portions, then the Chrome portions and finally the Black ones (or rather Dark Grey) with a paintbrush and Vallejo acrylics. I made the masking job for the first step: Now, choosing the shade of Blue is not obvious too, as I just have period pics and the restored version as reference... Cheers, Olivier N.B: my ventilation unit is stored waiting for the Chrome painting job, that will be done in the same time than for the dashboard portions... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totally Mad Olivier Posted June 7, 2020 Author Share Posted June 7, 2020 As I have no precise reference, I will use the XF-8 lightened with XF-2 White I used for the blue portions of my Nieuport 11 (I had not used all my mixture) and that seems to match quite well with my docs (like the one below): Unlike these pics suggest, my "Nieuport" Blue is a bit too light imho, I will apply a darker coat after small necessary corrections...

Mr Mansfield Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 So much fiddly work on that ventilation control, I think I would have said "that will do" long before now! The blue on the dash looks good in the pictures compared to your source pic, but I know it's not always the same as when you see it with your own eyes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am now rather glad with the result. Cheers, Olivier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totally Mad Olivier Posted June 8, 2020 Author Share Posted June 8, 2020 Hello chaps, this will be my only (little) update today, full day pro work: N.B: on this other period close-up below, the dash cap appears a bit darker than on the one of the post# 744 above: Stay in tune if you like 😉 Olivier 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally Mad Olivier Posted June 8, 2020 Author Share Posted June 8, 2020 1000 thanks, Dan*! And glad you "love" my new nickname. I certainly don't deserve the so kind compliments you ever expressed in the Nieuport 11 thread, and now here, but they are definitely the best encouragement to go on. Cheers my buddy, Olivier * and thanks too to JeroenS, Hamden, Harvey, Hannes, Mr Mansfield for your "likes", very encouraging too... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
