Neil Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 Obviously most of you have seen this before, but what the heck .... . Jaguar T4 converted from the Airfix GR1/3 kit using, er, somebodys resin conversion and add ons. Not to mention Ed Granthams funky auxiliary inlet door hinge decals and crew names. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

model_madness Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 Super photography, masterfully done Neil. Im jealous the way you guys do your weathering, any hints and tips for a newb like me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted April 3, 2007 Author Share Posted April 3, 2007 Im jealous the way you guys do your weathering, any hints and tips for a newb like me? The weathering on the panel lines was a coat of black sprayed on them before the top coat of camo colours. Worked out quite well. A little bit of thinned Paynes Grey oil paint was put on here and there after the camo colours were dry too, though not too heavily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same as Neil But I have a sludge swash which is clay based. As soon as I sort out the cananopie on a MiG I'll do a "How TO" for the site Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 For a beginner washing panel lines, I'd suggest watercolor paints... they're very forgiving, in that you can just wash off the evidence if you screw up Very much akin to Phil's "Organic" mixture of clay & pixie dust in that respect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spad Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Just plain beautiful! I have the same conversion set - that build gives me inspiration but also scares the c**p out of me as I'm sure I can't get anywhere near to that! Total respect! cheers Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JagRigger Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 (edited) Well Neil - congratulations ! That's the first Jag I actually haven't found fault with. I even had to think hard about one point or two.... Take a big gold star for that one ( and say Hi to Pat for me if you see him - ex colleague.... ) Edited April 15, 2009 by JagRigger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
