Silver Dollar Posted February 7, 2014 Author Share Posted February 7, 2014 I think I've put about as much as I can on the tunnel roof so I'll leave it where it is. There's still some room for a few touch ups and clean ups that I could do but they really won't show very much. It would be more for the camera and the scrap book. I especially want to add some riveting which I do more with paint than anything else. I just add a few thick drops of paint with a very thin brush and that seems to suffice. It leaves a nice, round raised bump. I did one shot in black and white to test the realism. It seems to be an interesting effect. I'll still have to do a bit of additional work on the tunnel and that will be to construct the side walls which are not reflected in the kit. A couple of pieces of styrene shed and some fiddly bits should do the trick. Then it's on to the cockpit floor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brahman104 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Nice work SD! The under-cockpit (is that a term?) area looks nice and busy, I take it the front entry door is staying open with all that effort you're putting in? Love the balck and white pic too! Looking forward to more. Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Dollar Posted February 8, 2014 Author Share Posted February 8, 2014 Thanks Craig. Yes, the door will stay open so you can see up into the area. I did a little more fiddling in the cockpit last night by setting up the control yokes. The fabric boots were made with aluminum foil and painted flat O.D. green but didn't come out matte enough even when covered with flat clear acryl. I should have reshaped the base of the yoke because the boots came out looking more like baby shoes than boots. The horn buttons on the wheels were painted with white enamel and covered with a dot of gloss clear. I did them with high magnification and a 6 bristle brush. I did the black and white thing also. More to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators James H Posted February 8, 2014 Administrators Share Posted February 8, 2014 Liking this one, and the extra work you're putting in for detail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingco57 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Same here, but it looks like your port throttle levers have a tendency to list to starboard. Can they be adjusted slightly? Or is it a photographic distortion. Cees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Dollar Posted February 9, 2014 Author Share Posted February 9, 2014 It looks like I distorted the throttles in handling somehow. I fixed it. Thanks for the tip. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
