Awesome looking model and great job on the re scribing and paint.

Sorry to hear of your loss mate, but that paint work is immaculate I have always tried pre shading panels but can never get them looking the way you have, very nice work.

The Hair Spray is to help with the weathering John.


You spray it on, then when dry you put the top coat on in this case white. Then after that's dry you can use a brush with warm water, then gently rub at the paint. The water softens the hair spray and the top coat comes off giving it a worn weathered look ( well that's the plan )

No problems Peter, it's been that long ago even I forgot about it until Jono posted his completed one.

 

[papa 695]

The paint is now on and the Panzer Putty taken off, I will work on the weathering again tomorrow

Worth the wait, that looks great Ian. Look forward to seeing the effects of the white wearing off with the hair spray effect. Not something I have tried. You didn't skimp on the brand.

 

[papa 695]

To be honest Joe its the first time I've used it. but don't tell the missus its hers

 

[Steve Brodie]

cant wait to see the weathering on this one

 

[takeslousyphotos]

I'm looking forward to weathering on this as well....... I'm trying it on my build as well at the moment . Not sure what result I'll get either.

 

[eddiesolo]

Top work so far Ian, really looking superb. Sorry to hear of your loss.


Si

Looks good Ian. Can you scuff the leading edges a bit more? I think if there was going to be wear anywhere in particular it would be on leading edges. Otherwise looking marvellous.

 

[papa 695]

Well I took your advice Joe and did a little more wear on the leading edges, and I think it looks better for it.


Thanks Joe

I like the winter camo scheme and the weather beaten look. Not sure but I think Luftwaffe aircraft were painted standard RLM colours and white daubed over the splinter camo. This camo scheme is fantastic, how's you achieved tbis was it with hairspray tech or maskol. Love the worn look on the leading edges.


Very impressed Ian.


Big 5 star from me


Robert

 

[papa 695]

Many thanks for the comments Robert, I used the Hair Spray technique on this one ( for the first time ).

 

[Guest]

Nice work Ian. ... if you give up model making you could always try Hairdressing


Cheers John.
