rieser Posted July 31, 2014 Author Posted July 31, 2014 Cheers Paul. "Thumbs up" is good, Underside weathering commenced... AK 303 Grey Wash for Kriegsmarine Ships in most of the panel lines; AK 305 Streaking Grime for Light Grey Ships - which is a bit browner - in the gun service panels and flaps; and AK 082 Engine Grime in the forward centreline... Games Workshop Babab Black wash in the wheel strut bays, followed by drybrushing with about 1:1 Vallejo 70990 Light Grey and 70918 Ivory. Same Vallejo mix thinned with tap water and applied with a small piece of foam. Thanks for looking. Cheers, Ralph.
RalphSarc Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 That is just crazy good. Absolute craftsmanship to the 10th degree. Brovo to you!!
rieser Posted August 1, 2014 Author Posted August 1, 2014 Cheers Gents. AK 045 Enamel Wash Dark Brown for Green Vehicles added to the topside recessed detail and then Dullcoted. Thanks for looking. Cheers, Ralph.
BevanBrooks Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 Wowzers, you have been busy. Hope the Boags is flowing freely. Looks awesome. The thin tape work gives that something extra, I like the way it shows through in the fuselage star. Cheers Bevan
Paulster Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 One of the beat "weathered beaten" subjects I've ever seen.
JG26 Posted August 3, 2014 Posted August 3, 2014 Great progress Ralph, glad to hear you're giving the AK another go, it's definitely paying off. looks like the end is in sight - time to get back into the Schwimm & Kettenkrads!!! Greetings to Bevan too. Dan M 1
rieser Posted August 5, 2014 Author Posted August 5, 2014 Underside close to done... Thanks for looking. Cheers, Ralph.
JonathanReed Posted August 5, 2014 Posted August 5, 2014 Awesome! Hope you dont mind me asking how you get the effect for tire spalsh on the under wing? What do you use and how do you apply it. It looks VERY realistic! Thank You
Administrators Fran Posted August 6, 2014 Administrators Posted August 6, 2014 WOW!! Bravo!!! Fantastic work!
rieser Posted August 6, 2014 Author Posted August 6, 2014 Cheers Gents. Jonathan: the splash was done using very thin Vallejo 70826 German Cam. Medium Brown applied in at least four layers using a small piece of sponge. The mixture was so thin that it was very hard to see the first layer after it had dried. It was important to let each layer dry before deciding to add the next - helped to see how the effect was working (or not). Very small spots of neat colour were dotted in a few places while the final layer was still wet - in the hope that there was enough surface wetness to dilute them and leave afew deliberately darker bits. Hope this helps. Cheers, Ralph. 1
