KiwiSteve Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Hey spence loving your work on the 110 & the 88 so far I have a technique question for you how do you get the slight dark and light rings on your bombs? I've been trying to get the same effect on some I'm doing, but they aren't turning out how I want them to, maybe I'm just being too ham fisted with my airbrush? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Spence Posted January 29, 2009 Author Share Posted January 29, 2009 Hi everyone! Sorry I haven't been around for a while, but work has been extremely time consuming! I've managed to get away from my editing duties for a while to do a little more on the '110. As you can see, the decals are now on (including that Wasp marking which was an absolute nightmare to get to settle down over the curves around the nose.. :x ) and I've taken time to deal with some of the smaller items such as the propellers and glazing - the latter benefitting from careful wok to get the best from the glazing. I've also added a little more weathering and taken time to add more shading and highlights - especially around the tail. Another few hours and this one should be finished - and then it's on to the Jagdtiger... Laters! Spence Hey spence loving your work on the 110 & the 88 so far I have a technique question for you how do you get the slight dark and light rings on your bombs?

Hi Steve. The rings aren't really rings at all, but a trompe l'oeil. Instead of trying to spray rings all the way round each bomb, I simply spray short lines on the sides, rotating the bomb as I do it. The lines don't have to line up because shadow will remove the undersides of each one making them appear to be one continuous effect. Try it - you'll be amazed. Simple eh..?! Laters!

cdplayer Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Hi Spence this is turning into something quite special. your "painterly" technique is very interesting. I think you have caused a rush on the FAQ book as Historex agents sold out completely just after you mentioned it. Unfortunately I was one of the many who were too late and am now waiting for their next batch of stock to arrive. great photography as well, pin sharp nice lighting Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzy Jase Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Great work Spence. How are you filling in the panel lines? The FAQ book suggests penciling them in or brush painting with thinned acrylic. I haven't tried either of these techniques yet and was just wondering how difficult they are?
