BevanBrooks Posted November 14, 2014 Author Share Posted November 14, 2014 Thanks guy's. The undersides have been weathered. Using oils I've concentrated on the main panel lines building up gunk and grime deposits Sealed under acrylic clear to protect it. Next in line are the wheels, spinner and prop blades.

eagledocf15 Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Hey Mike, the green/blue 76 is a custom mix. Gunze H74 sky (duck egg green) 1ml Tamiya XF2 flat white 12 drops Tamiya XF12 jn grey 2 drops. Thats the basic colour, I also used the h74 in random spots as well as the xf 12 all well thinned. Hope this helps Cheers Bevan Were any of the other colors custom mixes? Excellent work! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BevanBrooks Posted November 17, 2014 Author Share Posted November 17, 2014 Cheers guy's. The wheel hubs were painted with xf1 flat black and the tires with a mix of xf85 rubber black and xf2 flat white. I then sealed them with a coat of acrylic clear. Next I gave them a pin wash of Tamiya enamel xf 10 flat brown, sealed with clear. I sprayed a thin mix of black around where the tire meets the hub. I then thinned some xf24 dark grey with a drop of flat white and lightly tried to highlight the bulged part of the tire, again sealed with clear. With the xf10 flat brown and xf57 buff enamel I touched here and there for a bit of grubbiness followed by some white oil paint over the whole lot. 2b grey lead pencil was used on the edges for a bit off chipping. This was all coated with Testors model master flat acrylic clear. The prop blades were painted with Gunze RLM 70 black green and given a wash of white oil paint. Sealed with testors flat, the pencils came out for some scratches. .............and I gotta say, pretty average shots of the props!

BevanBrooks Posted December 26, 2014 Author Share Posted December 26, 2014 Hi guy's, been a while in between drinks. The exhausts were painted h76 burnt iron with xf2 flat white added then matte coated. Burnt umber pastel dust was rubbed in and affixed with an xf85 rubber black enamel wash. Then matte coated again. A thicker application of the xf 85 wash was applied around the base of the stubs. 2b grey lead was touched along the edges of the openings and finally the openings themselves were blacked out. Hope everyone had a great Christmas. Cheers Bevan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeWika Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Lovely build Bevan- just Lovely! You're a master of shades and mixes.. I must ask about your camera gear and set up- what are you using? Cheers Ted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must ask about your camera gear and set up- what are you using? Cheers Ted Hi Ted, thanks. Nothing fancy about the setup just a fugifilm finepix j20 set on auto with the macro function on, flurecent light and a black background. A little editing as well!! Cheers Bevan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polsen Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 G-day Bevan, nice work mate, the vertical streaking in the exhaust stain is a nice touch. Lovely scheme choice, Cheers, Peter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
