fjaweijfopi4j48 Posted September 18, 2020 Author Share Posted September 18, 2020 The work with the Aztek spatter nozzle did not come out exactly as I hoped. The "grain" is vary variable, and there is much dependence on dilution and pressure: Still, a somewhat credible representation of pattern on fabric was attained. I think an old brush or toothpick can do an equal or better job. This nozzle may do well representing mud splatter and such, but not fine work: 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 (edited) Spatters never good. I’ve had some success with rb designs wood grain photoetched masks to replicate plywood. Dry brushing s good for fabrics. Otherwise it’s out with the oil paints and a very fine brush. Edited September 18, 2020 by Marklo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbadbadge Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Crikey Moa, never heard of a splatter nozzle before this thread. Like you say a better job with a brush as Marklo said. Go on paint an intricate paisley pattern on all of the chairs and sofas!!!😉 Chris 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have at least one of those nozzles, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have at least one of those nozzles, too. Yes it is, but to be fair the nozzle may produce effects that are useful in other ways. Two recent scenarios come to mind: the dishonorable discharge tube on the belly of the Ford trimotor, and the unforeseeable consequences of flying inverted for planes with restrooms . You made me write that. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fjaweijfopi4j48 Posted September 25, 2020 Author Share Posted September 25, 2020 Now that the Ford trimotor is on final approach, attention turns to this one. I am now marking and drilling the holes for landing lights and control cables. Following the Martian saying that states "Measure once, drill twice", I botched the location of one of the holes, had to plug it with styrene and then cut if off : I tried my new blade from the Airwaves set which proved to be extraordinarily flimsy: Eventually the job was done, straightening the blade again and again: Metal control horns are inserted into the ailerons. These, following photos, are receding a bit from the aileron leading edge. Control cable outlets are located way ahead under the wing, close to the leading edge, but very close to the aileron on top, so this detail has to be replicated accordingly: 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbadbadge Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 Hi Moa Good to see you back on this one, crikey that is a bendy saw blade. Looking at the size of the wing to cutting matt, it's going to be an impressive beastie when built. Great work. Chris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Progress on this one is slow, as there is no path traced. Every bit has to be invented. Here the ailerons have been glued, and the fuel tanks on the wing engraved. The trimotor is small in comparison, and that makes for an interesting handling too. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The path less traveled will be the most interesting journey. There must be no rush for a project like this, work should be done on inspiration. I'm enjoying this very much. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fjaweijfopi4j48 Posted September 26, 2020 Author Share Posted September 26, 2020 This is the color combination used on Tony's personal Fokker. The vermilion was actually used just as a narrow pinstripe to separate colors and as tail outline. The gray represents the silver. As an artist, I must confess that I have seen much more appealing schemes, but it reflects the taste of the times: 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fjaweijfopi4j48 Posted September 30, 2020 Author Share Posted September 30, 2020 Very little else was done, as I was engaged in obtaining those green paper souvenirs one uses to pay for supplies, kits, jewelry for the Yorkshire wife and such. 8 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
