SoftScience Posted May 21, 2020 Author Share Posted May 21, 2020 Things got a little out of hand with weathering, but I think I like it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 I like the weathering, it’s really brought out the detail. The brown is a great shade, i find too many are too dark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoftScience Posted May 28, 2020 Author Share Posted May 28, 2020 Spittie is on its own legs now. I also started work on the exhauasts. Somehow while glueing the door in the open position, glue got on the belly, right where.o was holding the model and a finger-printed mess ensued. I'll need to sand and repaint once it cures. Too fracking mad to photograph it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookenbacher Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 This looks wonderful, what technique did you use for the weathering? Fingerprints bring good luck, although at this stage of the build that really is a pain. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What the armor modeling world calls dot filters. I just apply tiny dots of different color oils (light sandy yellows, ochre, a medium green, and a dark brown like raw umber), and then scrub them into a flat finish and mix them a bit in the process, but not uniformally. I attempt to streak the colors down on the fuselage sides, and backwards on horizontal surfaces. I admit, while the effect is great on armor and larger scale airplanes, I think its a bit much in this scale. I'll try tinier dots, next time. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 Great looking Mk.VIII Ralph, Ive just received these decals from Patrice. I will be using them if my spare decals from the files, don't work on my Boyd build. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
