BevanBrooks Posted November 23, 2013 Posted November 23, 2013 Looking good mate! You've done a great job on those wheels I reckon they look awesome. Coming together nicely.
Daywalker Posted November 24, 2013 Posted November 24, 2013 Hot damn, that looks damned good! I remember asking you about your tire painting when you built the Tamiya Spitfire Mk.IX, and no matter how much I try to emulate your painting on tires I cannot get results anywhere close to yours. Brilliant stuff, this model looks absolutely fantastic. 1
GUY5Y Posted November 24, 2013 Posted November 24, 2013 Shakes head yet again....what a joyous load of pure talent this site has.
rieser Posted November 27, 2013 Author Posted November 27, 2013 Tried for some inboard wing grime and wear... Silver chips were painted first using a 50:50 mix of Citadel Chainmail and Boltgun Metal, followed by some Vallejo 70826 German Cam. Medium Brown chips applied with a dry sponge. Successive layers of watery 70826 were then daubed on using a wet sponge to try to give a patchy filter effect, and to tone down the Citadel silvers. Hard-edged "things" were added using black, warm grey and yellow ochre Faber-Castell watercolour pencil marks moved around with a small damp paintbrush. 2B graphite pencil was used for some bright highlights. Watery Vallejo 70950 Black was daubed onto the prop blades using a wet sponge. Thanks for looking. Cheers, Ralph. 3
Jeroenveen1 Posted November 27, 2013 Posted November 27, 2013 Pure awesomeness.... Damn Ralph, that looks beautiful!
Woodshedwings Posted November 27, 2013 Posted November 27, 2013 Thanks for this Ralph. Picking up so many 'must try' tips.
Paulster Posted November 27, 2013 Posted November 27, 2013 Did a closeup of your chipping on the wing root. Superb job.
Members Mikester Posted November 27, 2013 Members Posted November 27, 2013 If I were Revell, I'd paying you not to build Hasegawa kits, Ralph! Just superb.
rieser Posted November 28, 2013 Author Posted November 28, 2013 Woodshedwings: glad to hear it - hope you get some fun out of trying. Paulster: gets rather ugly if you get too close! mikester: I can't build Revell to save my life - still haunted by their He111. Model's done - pics over in "Finsihed Work"... 2
JonathanReed Posted December 31, 2013 Posted December 31, 2013 Beautifu! I have no other words for it...
harvey boyer Posted January 1, 2014 Posted January 1, 2014 Damm thats good ! Weathering and detail is WAY above my skills.........Harv
Greg Posted April 15, 2014 Posted April 15, 2014 Holy cr*p! This is a beautiful build. Will it make it out of the hangar?
efrick Posted April 15, 2014 Posted April 15, 2014 I somehow mangaged to miss following this build until now. You have outdone yourself yet again...and once more I thank you for sharing your painting techniques/ mix ratios, etc. I am (shamelessly) copying your techniques on my own current build. Just...superb! My collection of "How to Build the ______________" books are gathering more and more dust on the shelves...who needs 'em with this sort of material/inspiration? Regards, Ed
rieser Posted April 17, 2014 Author Posted April 17, 2014 Greg: out-of-hanger pics here... http://forum.largescalemodeller.com/topic/1780-132-hasegawa-bf109-g-6r6-yellow-4-3jg-300/ Ed: very kind words - many thanks. I figure what comes around goes around. Copy away and yell any time! Cheers, Ralph.
