Dave J Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 Awesome choice Kevin! I will love to see how you do the overall black paint!
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted July 31, 2013 Administrators Posted July 31, 2013 What a über-cool scheme.... Love it..
beaz Posted July 31, 2013 Author Posted July 31, 2013 Thanks guys. This is one of my favorite schemes as well. Awesome choice Kevin! I will love to see how you do the overall black paint! Me too, man! Going to take some practice to get the translucency of the black paint over the wood panels just so. Not to mention all those overlapping layers of paint and decals, decals and paint... 1
aviattic Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 Love this scheme and really looking forward to seeing our decals used! Best wishes, Richard www.aviattic.co.uk
beaz Posted January 4, 2014 Author Posted January 4, 2014 So, first attempt at using a new craft cutter, inspired by Dave in his WNW D.VIIF - Wilhelm Hippert's "Mimmi" thread, was to use its built-in software to trace a scan of Monnington's personal insignia. Here's the first test, cut out of post-it note paper: Have some adjustments to make to clean up a few of the cut lines, especially around the teeth, but it's already pretty close. Have some Tamiya masking sheets coming any day now and hope to make a test run with the airbrush soon. Thanks to Dave for the inspiration this week! 3
wemattson Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 Beaz, That looks cool! Someday I'm going to have to try that. Looking forward to seeing some progress on this one. Cheers, Wayne
Dave J Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 Very cool Kev! I order a plotter too... Now just the wait
mammut08 Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 Hi Kevin, Well shucks, that's just fantastic. Surprising how easy it is, yes? I've been using Tamiya masking sheet and it works well. You can set the cutter to only cut the masking material and not the backing sheet - I think my blade is set at "1". For multipart masks, I lay strips of Tamiya tape across the cut mask before I try and lift it off the backing material. You can then transfer the entire mask to the model surface, remove the tape and then selectively remove portions of the mask. Here is a question for the mods -- can we upload files to this website and set them up as download links? If several of us have these cutters, seems we might start an on-line library and share cutter files. Just a thought. Dave Dave 2
Dave J Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 That's a great idea Dave... I will have a chat to the rest of the staff and see what we can do and arrange...
