NOVAModeler Posted May 8, 2013 Posted May 8, 2013 Holy crap Rick - I haven't had my modeling and forum hats on for a while and am astonished to see the great progress you've been making. And very impressive work! I'm going to try and get some work done on my stalled Stang soon. 1
rkranias Posted May 9, 2013 Author Posted May 9, 2013 Holy crap Rick - I haven't had my modeling and forum hats on for a while and am astonished to see the great progress you've been making. And very impressive work! I'm going to try and get some work done on my stalled Stang soon. Thanks Vivian. Work will be full stop for a few days as my Studio Lights (the right ones) arrived this am. I have 3 photo shoots and write ups on deck. No play till these are completed. Look forward to see your Stang!
rkranias Posted May 9, 2013 Author Posted May 9, 2013 WEATHERING Flory wash removed and I'll do a shameless plug...this stuff is great! I really, really like the results and ease of use. Highly recommended! Undersides cleaned, weathered and shot with Alclad Matte Varnish. All pimped up! Topsides cleaned & varnished, canopy/pit masks removed. Detail shot of pit and landing flaps. I used MiG wash with directional rub on the natural metal finish of landing flaps. Pit detail. The HGW belts are a pain to cut out. The results and flexibility are well worth it. The R2800 weathered with a shot of semi gloss. Lessons learned on this cowling construction will be applied with "Slick Chick". This one was definitely a learning experience. The Hasegawa brass blast tubes get the Blueing treatment, props to Harv. Time consuming but results speak. Next up will be finish weathering install of the landing gear, then nav lights, landing light, recognition lights, rear view mirror, antenna, pitot, prop and blast tubes. Then boom! Done! Work will be full stop for a few days as my Studio Lights (the right ones) arrived this am. I have 3 photo shoots and write ups on deck. No play till these are completed. 1
Grant Posted May 9, 2013 Posted May 9, 2013 Fabulous Rick ...oh! absolutely agree about Flory Washes. So quick and so easy too (the smallest drop of washing up liquid in with the Flory Wash help prevent beading by the way). I love the Soviet markings! 2
rkranias Posted May 20, 2013 Author Posted May 20, 2013 Завершено! Will post additional pics in "Finished Work" in a few days. New background for studio ordered plus wrap up some reviews. 3
Guest styrenedemon Posted May 20, 2013 Posted May 20, 2013 Gorgeous. I enjoyed watching this one and am looking forward to more pics. 2
NOVAModeler Posted June 16, 2013 Posted June 16, 2013 Looking forward to seeing this Wednesday night. How far is the other one?
rkranias Posted June 18, 2013 Author Posted June 18, 2013 Looking forward to seeing this Wednesday night. How far is the other one? See you on Wed. "Slick Chick" has stalled. I have not been on the bench for nearly 4 weeks. Just alot going on at home working the veggie garden, minor landscaping, house fixing and cleaning, kids wrapping up school and swim team. I need about 10 more hours a day.
rkranias Posted June 18, 2013 Author Posted June 18, 2013 Man, thats nice ! .............Harv Thanks Harv! 1
