When asked what he actually did he told us his job was 'to come into your office, look at your watch and tell you what time it was. And then charge you 40K for it' Doesn't look like much changes. Great looking 109 by the way. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaminCam Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 The 109 looks fantastic, can't wait to see it with the nose revealed and mottling on. Have a great weekend, sounds like you've earned it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Spadgent Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Schmitt looks the bomb! Very crisp. As for life ? It’d be boring without all that crap to deal with right. That’s what I keep telling myself. 😉 have a great time away chap. Johnny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Procopius Posted December 20, 2018 Author Share Posted December 20, 2018 Gentlemen, I regret to inform you that my mottling looks like crap: It never used to be this bad. I think I need to thin the paint a LOT more than I did to get it through the 0.2mm nozzle without spattering and sputtering. This is what happens when you have children, you get rusty at the things you actually enjoy. 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andwil Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Me three. Although looking at the photos in your first post, the mottling looks denser, with the blotches closet together, so some lighter mottling in the spaces would tone down the overall effect (says me who had never used an airbrush in his life).

This is solid (no pun intended) advice. I should go back and try again -- with more thinner. Way more thinner. In other news, scientists suggest something we've all known to be true is indeed true. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CedB Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 Not too much change PC - far better than I could have done! Interesting article too… we should now all take a few moments to ponder the health implications of discussing it with our female partners and kin. Probably best not, eh? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woody37 Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Merry Christmas mate Just caught up on your progress. I've had similar issues in the past on doing the fine airbrushing. I found stripping the gun down and re-oiling the moving parts helped considerably too, not sure if you do that anyway but I had never oiled it previously. A good lubricating solves a great many issues in life 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jean Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Hi Mr. P, a great New year to you and family!!! And a lot more challenging models! I love the family's outfit. From memory, this is the type of garments criminals wore when in the bagne (remember Jean Valjean, Nr 24601!). So for next Christmas, make them all happy and buy them a set of leg irons and canon balls!!! It sure will make you a popular dad and hubby. Have fun!
