iwik Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 ...in 1/144 scale. Hi y'all! Felt like building a jet. Quickly though, it's only a jet. Something small, and fast. Took me longer than I thought though... But here it is. Hope you'll like it. Ciao Iwik 28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iwik Posted June 3, 2021 Author Share Posted June 3, 2021 Hi manuel. Pretty easy actually, but time consuming. It's just a matter of spraying different layers of slightly different grays, applying masking fluid with a sponge between each layers. Make sure you don't remove all the masking fluid between each steps. Thus the last masking fluid parts to be removed will show the very first layer of paint you've applied. Add a few marbling effects with very light grey and very dark one between layers (and masking fluid! Again). Finalize with a pin wash with black oil paint. And voilà! (basically... ) ciao Iwik 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billn53 Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 Your painting technique is very effective even at this small scale. I wonder how it would look at 1/72 or larger? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paintychops Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 If you're that good at such a small scale, would love to see what you're capable of at a larger scale! Top work 👏 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tjeskow Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 Great looking Tomcat. The fifty shades of grey are very impressive and suits it very well. Cheers!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
