harvey boyer Posted March 29, 2013 Author Posted March 29, 2013 KOJO, many thanks ! I'll keep it in mind. BTW, is this yours ? What scale ?.................Harv
harvey boyer Posted March 29, 2013 Author Posted March 29, 2013 KoJo, talked to Chuck this morning and He gave me some really good tips to try. Thanks for reminding me of him. He is a great guy and modeler, for sure !. Trying something new as we speak !..........Harv 1
Grant Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 C'mon Harv, he's a friend of both of us on that FB place, we can ambush him to get him on here! 1
harvey boyer Posted March 29, 2013 Author Posted March 29, 2013 Hey Grant , just sent him an invite ! We'll see what happens... 1
Grant Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 Hey Grant , just sent him an invite ! We'll see what happens... I'll do the same now. Â PS: Done!!! 2
harvey boyer Posted March 31, 2013 Author Posted March 31, 2013 Ok, small update. Really bored tonight, so decided to tackle the vac canopy (rear). Been putting it off, because I was afraid of it, you know, screwing it up. But here it is . Still needs a little sanding, and a dip in future. But the fit is good to go. Thanks for looking in..........Harv  2
harvey boyer Posted March 31, 2013 Author Posted March 31, 2013 Me neither ! Last paint test should be Monday. Supposed to rain tomorrow...............Harv
Jamme Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 Nice ! When I se all the work you put on this kit...... WOWÂ Cheers, Jamme 1
harvey boyer Posted April 1, 2013 Author Posted April 1, 2013 Another small update. Weather was not friendly today, so no paint. But I did manage to start on the Jerry Rutman props. Basic clean up and sanding. Nothing glued in the pic, still a little touching up and then paint. Thanks for looking in......Harv  2
Grant Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 Is that it? A pair of tweezers and a prop? Blimey .... I could do that!! Â Just kidding Harv... It is coming on nicely and we don't have to suffer all that really annoying hot and humid weather that plagues you in California. 1
harvey boyer Posted April 1, 2013 Author Posted April 1, 2013 Grant, do you relies how much time I spent painting those tweezers, and weather them, just to get that well worn look ??You think it's easy ? Thanks for stoping by, buddy........Harv 1
Grant Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 You're welcome Harv.. I'm always ready to offer unbiased honest advice on tweezers or other modelling tools. I love the faded look you've achieved but wonder whether you went one coat too much?? Perhaps some chipping might help. 1
harvey boyer Posted April 1, 2013 Author Posted April 1, 2013 OK, DRUM ROLL...THe WINNER IS.......Found my color ! Lots of people from other sites also, helped me with tis, and I'm very grateful ! The first pic is some pre color on some made up panels, to see , If anything, would stand out. It didn't so I'll pass entirely on this, and  hope the post shading will accomplish this.  The second pic is painted, and inside light. The third is outside light. Thanks for all the help, everyone ! Please let me know what YOU think...........Harv    1
Jamme Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 HI Harv. Difficult to tell from the pics. I should go with the red, as it is a warmer tone, but it's my 1 cent. Cheers, Jamme 1
harvey boyer Posted April 1, 2013 Author Posted April 1, 2013 It's ruffly a 50-50 mix of russet and semi gloss black. Maybe a bit more russet in it ???...........Harv
Grant Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 I agree with Jamme. Â The red pre-colour is the way to go. Â Black always has a purple'ish tone to it in certain light and this accomplishes it. 2
Jamme Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 It's ruffly a 50-50 mix of russet and semi gloss black. Maybe a bit more russet in it ???...........Harv I don't think so. I should leave it so. Cheers, Jamme 1
harvey boyer Posted April 1, 2013 Author Posted April 1, 2013 Thanks Grant and Jamme. I agree this is the best. I'll leave it alone and I want to try a little post work on this before I proceed...........Harv 1
harvey boyer Posted April 2, 2013 Author Posted April 2, 2013 OH MAN,OH MAN, OH MAN...Can you tell I'm excited !!! Started painting this morning !! And I'm one happy camper. I really need feedback on this guys ! I'm lovin it so far. More pics to follow later this morning !!!............Harv( the excited one) Â Â 2
Jamme Posted April 2, 2013 Posted April 2, 2013 Hello Harv. That's nice ! Will wait for other pictures. Congrats, Jamme
harvey boyer Posted April 2, 2013 Author Posted April 2, 2013 Well the last couple for now. PHEW ! WOW !..............Harv     1
Jamme Posted April 2, 2013 Posted April 2, 2013 Really nice Harv. What are the "grey" spots on it? Weathering? Salt trick? Thank you for the answer. Other whise the black is spot on ! (at least for me) Cheers, Jamme
