brodiebear Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 Elan13's superb 75mm resin figure of a WWII RAF pilot, with his obligatory dog; Box art; Superb casting; First up was his Irvin leather flying jacket, painted with a mix of various highlight and shadow washes from the AK leather set; Next up was his RAF uniform, again painted in its base colour then washes of highlights and shadows, with a finishing glaze/wash of the original colour and a final coat of Ak interactive ultra matt varnish; 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brodiebear Posted June 12, 2019 Author Share Posted June 12, 2019 Mae west painted up last night. Also added a satin varnish to his Irvin Jacket, which was a bit worrying at first as it seemed very dark ,but over night the jacket has gone back to its original shades - phew; Palette; Mixes; Mae West; 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brodiebear Posted June 14, 2019 Author Share Posted June 14, 2019 Handy having your own Blue Roan Cocker Spaniel (Louis) for reference; So painted up the 1/24th version; 'Actual size' In between adding the various layers of blacks/greys/whites onto 'Louis' I also got on with the pilots '1939 pattern flying boots'; Where's Your Head At? (Basement Jaxx) Need a coat of matt varnish as does louis, and the boots need some light dirt added to them. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brodiebear Posted June 27, 2019 Author Share Posted June 27, 2019 The 3 piece suite arrived yesterday, garish doesn't come close, so a 20 minute dip in AK's extreme metal cleaner (that stuff should come with a health warning - smell is horrendous and potent) left outside and then a wash in hot soapy water removed all of the decal/print on the chair. A coat of primer revealed that the pattern is actually embossed into the seat so a rub down to get everything level and then a coat of Vallejo putty, smoothed out with a brush was applied. This has since been sanded back, so ready for another coat of primer and then good to paint (red) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Newsome Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Looking great so far. I nearly bought this at Darlington Sword & Lance but held back because I had quite a few other projects underway. Seeing this has really made me wish I'd got it. Roger. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mancunian airman Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 Looks like I need to invest in some AK paints to try and get a decent finish for my figures . . . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
