Alot of work left, and learned some things along the way.... Thanks for the kudos guys....

Gnomey · 01-05-2009, 11:45 AM

Looking good Dan!

Airframes · 01-05-2009, 01:01 PM

It's looking brilliant Dan. I'm sure you'll get it all right in the end, and the wings, with the panel lines and varying panel shades, look superb! Great job mate. Just hope I can get my 1/48th one to look so good.

lesofprimus · 01-05-2009, 05:00 PM

Thanks guys, I appreciate the confidence, but I am way over my head with the camo... If I had an airbrush that could get up close and personal, I might have a chance...

Time to experiment.... Wayne, u have any pointers on how to accomplish the spray over effect to make it look feathered???

Catch22 · 01-05-2009, 05:13 PM

I have an idea Les. Try I know it may be a little late, but do you still have that tape? (unlikely, I know) If you do, pop it back on and just lift the edges of the tape a little bit. That will allow some paint to seep out, but still keep the rough outline.

lesofprimus · 01-05-2009, 05:28 PM

Tape is gone, rolled into a ball and in the trash....

Wurger · 01-05-2009, 05:31 PM

Dan is there something like modeline offered in your hobby shop?

Airframes · 01-05-2009, 05:42 PM

Dan, you could try the technique I described for Screaming Eagle in the '30 Years of Airframes'...' thread. Using a cotton bud, or maybe even a 00 or 000 brush, to go over the mottle 'spots'. Just a thought.

Heinz · 01-05-2009, 11:35 PM

With the guys its looking great!

Cory is on the right track, a slightly raised template, someone has already posted something on this method....but where?...Ianlanc thread?

lesofprimus · 01-06-2009, 04:25 AM

OK, so I have 2 methods to try out... The cotton bud and the raised edge mask...

What would happen if I lowered my air pressure on the brush and tried to "spot" spray the mottle with very light fast presses??? Do I run the risk of paint splattering out???

Would not want to speculate too much, there are still a lot of variations to your proposal....could work but how low, what ratio of paint mix?...you could try half a dozen ways/mixes and get good and bad results, as I don't know just what kind of pattern you can actually achieve...would like to see some samples of mottle and lines with say a ruler for comparing size of line and mottle patterns...does this make sense?

superb job Les

I believe it was Njaco actually. He cuts the spots out of cardstock and holds it just above the model. That's where I learned to do that anyway.

Les, you COULD do that, but it would mean cutting it all out again.

lesofprimus · 01-06-2009, 05:00 PM

Yea Wayne, it makes alot of sense...

Looking at what Cory just said above tho, I think that may work.... I wont have to re-mask it, just hold the cardboard cut out over the areas I want to feather out and just go from there...

That sounds like a winner, gonna have to try it out.... How far should I hold the cardboard from the model to get some decent results???
