CedB Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 Wow, that was close! I thought I heard some swearing yesterday… Looking very smooth on the underside Crisp - nice job. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LorenSharp Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 17 hours ago, general melchett said: Close call there Crisp, we've all had those moments, always test before committing to plastic, I remember vividly finishing an S&M Avro Ashton for a magazine and picking up, what I thought was an airbrush loaded with semi-matt varnish that turned out to be Dark Sea Grey, one blast across the wings showed me the error of my ways. To say the air was blue is an understatement! I dare say the Angels and Ministers of Grace learned an few new words to add to the vocabulary of "Things that must not be said" along with a new term for the occurrence .... Doin the Melchett! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Spadgent Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 Nice chipping there sir. 💛 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookenbacher Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 The chipping looks fantastic Crisp, appropriate to the scale -which is very difficult to achieve. Oh man, 'reaction sludge' is about the worst thing to have to clean out of an airbrush, especially when you're anxious to get on with painting a model! Nice save. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex-FAAWAFU Posted May 22, 2021 Author Share Posted May 22, 2021 A bit too much life getting in the way at present, but there has been some progress with the P-38. Underside (already sprayed neutral grey): From above, first base coat: Tamiya acrylics. More when I can Crisp 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woody37 Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 Great to see the pain t going down, look forwards to seeing the weathering and 'stickers' going on! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex-FAAWAFU Posted May 23, 2021 Author Share Posted May 23, 2021 Second coat - slightly lightened colour applied through an Uschi random splatter template thingy, though the difference may be too subtle; I’ll only really know when it’s all dry. And the super-turbo-ninja-duper-chargers also finished by a misted coat of matt rust colour on top of the burned metal: 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ex-FAAWAFU Posted May 24, 2021 Author Share Posted May 24, 2021 Final OD base coat, followed by a layer of very thin (1 paint : 15 thinners) light grey through an Uschi random template thingy, to break up the monotony of single colour and start reducing the “toy-like” appearance - though still lots of post-stickers oil-paint weathering to come. Quite subtle (which is the idea), but definitely visible in this photo More soon Crisp 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CedB Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 Very nice Crisp - I like that effect, a lot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christer A Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 Yeah, those Uschi template thingies are perfect for giving an uneven finish. Takes a bit of practice I've noticed. I must say that you have a very very nice looking P-38 there Crisp! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ex-FAAWAFU Posted May 25, 2021 Author Share Posted May 25, 2021 So all this work with rivets, worn effects fluid and multiple coats… the question is, has it paid off? I’m pretty happy! This is the comparison I was after, and it will do me; real thing: Little plastic thing: Time to seal this and move to more conventional weathering, I think.
