JG26 Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 He's back to '48! It might catch on..... Great to see her finally in colour. It's rested in it's glass hanger for quite some time...bring on those big red meatballs. Regards, Dan M 2
rieser Posted December 15, 2015 Author Posted December 15, 2015 48th. Frightening. No feel at all for the scale. The Montex meatball masks are 3-4 mm smaller in diameter than the decals. Who's right? Who's wrong?? Ah too bad - I'll use the masks anyway.
Administrators Fran Posted December 15, 2015 Administrators Posted December 15, 2015 I just love Betty!! REally nice work on the camouflage! Was in free hand? 1
mywifehatesmodels Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 Great work on a great kit. Built one years ago, but keep hoping someone will scale it up. I would be in heaven if they did! John 1
rieser Posted December 15, 2015 Author Posted December 15, 2015 Fran: yes - camo was freehand. Gave up trying for tight demarcation lines - luckily the green overspray blended into the brown. Not so lucky where the top colours meet the underside grey - hat will need more work. Will then try to pull things together with the washes etc.
BevanBrooks Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 Doesn't that thing have a wing span not much smaller than a ju88 in 32nd scale? From what I can remember seeing it's pretty big. But I could be wrong! Might need to actually paint the Tam Dinah that is sitting waiting....waiting .........waiting.............. Bevan 1
rieser Posted December 21, 2015 Author Posted December 21, 2015 Almost there - needs to be ready for Xmas Eve. Nothing fancy - just some AK and A.MIG panel line washes; some AK Engine Grime smudged about in a few places on the undersides; and AK Ultra Matte varnish for the flat coat. Thanks for looking. Cheers, Ralph. 3
Wingco57 Posted December 22, 2015 Posted December 22, 2015 Wow, I like it when you build that fast, and nicely too. The receiver of that present will be overjoyed. Cees
rieser Posted December 23, 2015 Author Posted December 23, 2015 Ready for the wrapping paper... Thanks for looking. Cheers, Ralph. 3
BevanBrooks Posted December 23, 2015 Posted December 23, 2015 Great result in the short time frame. "Customer" should be happy with that. I can hear the squeaking of the beer fridge door from down here......... Cheers Bevan
Dennis.E Posted December 27, 2015 Posted December 27, 2015 That is NICE!!!! Wonderful work on the airbrush distressing main color palettes, and your figure painting is sublime! Dennis
