Martinnfb Posted August 2, 2023 Author Share Posted August 2, 2023 Talking rivets. Trumpeter did apply some but half way. So I used available photos to finish it somehow. 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmayhew Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 Trumpeter’s 109 G-2 (1/32 of course)… a reminder of just how good Tamiya (and Kotare now) are; definitely in the ‘looks like a…to me’ category but hey ho. just starting oils topside; bottom is mostly complete apart from spatter marks. 8 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spitfire Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 Not a Luftwaffe fan but that is top end modelling, fantastic. Cheers Dennis 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That looks really great. How do you keep your colors from either looking like they were applied by brush, or disappearing? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent weathering job on that keyboard too! Both look outstanding! (But I’d be tempted to strip down that keyboard and start over 😁) 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomber_County Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 Excellent, I need to learn this technique, anyone willing to do a tutorial? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlrwestSiR Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 FantAstic job on the finish. I wouldn't mind seeing a how-to on it too. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martinnfb Posted August 2, 2023 Author Share Posted August 2, 2023 The technique is well known, here we are talking about talent and skill . Some tutorial video describing the use of the artistic oil paint and variations of its applications . 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PanzerWomble Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 It's armour not aircraft but the skills and drills are the same for oil dot weathering. Say hello to Evan , he's a great guy and was very young when he started knocking these out . Still knocking around youtube Nice work Nick . 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottsGT Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 Wrapped up the Tomcat Tuesday. Pulled this one out of the stash yesterday. Did a lot of reading about kit short comings and made a couple mods already. Carl has offered up a Fisher folded wing and I gratefully accepted! That alone will be a big correction to the build. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great timing, I found a box that the wing parts fit in so I'll drop them off tomorrow at the post office. Carl 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nmayhew Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 Hey guys thanks for the kind words I think I have done some how to’s on here in WIP for my P-40 (search ‘Neville Duke’ and I’m sure it will come up) but very quickly … firstly and most importantly there’s no voodoo - you just need to be willing to give stuff a go, and not let yourself be convinced “I prefer my models with that clean look” when really it’s because you are a bit scared - I know because I was that person for years lol primed with MFS1500 Black; all paints are MRP; I use spatter templates where surfaces are flat enough and if fiddly compound curves will airbrush lots of little mottle randomly in various colours to build up depth; check Doogs Models YouTube for Blackbasing technique if you are not familiar oils should go on full or semi matt; if on gloss you’ll just be pushing them round and it will be a mess i don’t use oil dot technique; afaik that’s just random dots of random colour; I try to think about what weathering will occur and where. I don’t use pin wash - certainly not as slather it all over in every panel line etc and wipe off excess approach; that’s a bit clumsy and just makes things look even more like a model in my view; some do like the look, but it’s not for me. Check out Mike Rinaldi on YouTube - his short technique vids, not the 3hr live streams - too much waffle on those - he is THE MASTER and originator of OPR afaik for armour, check John Spud Murphy on Facebook - lots of great guys but he has lots of simple mini bits of how to and technique anyway… oils are on cardboard but I do dive straight in; I have Sansodor in a small palette by side; you can get away with just a few brushes - a couple of smallish ones (but can be a 2), just with a nice point, and maybe a bigger filbert type oils on cardboard are kept in a tin - fridge them ideally - and they will keep for a week plus; dab some Sansodor on them to revive if they start to get too dry work light to dark colours tiny amount of thinner and dab into oil paint (here I differ from MR - follow him not me, but since people asked…), take most of paint off on paper towel; apply to model; then with clean brush with a tiny TINY amount of thinner, work the oil to where you want and blend; then with bigger fry brush continue the blend; then if you want multiple colours over same area, USE HAIR DRIER - just cheap sh*t travel one - quick blow and then good to go again for a more industrial strength protection I spray MRP clear which dries in seconds and then can go at same area with any aggression necessary for spatter I will use Mac valve and maybe brush flick - have yet to get round to that hope this is of use; happy Sunday 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmayhew Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 PS if you f8ck any bit up, just wipe with Sansodor and start again; MRP paints are impervious to it; 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomber_County Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 Thanks, I’ll weather the hell out of armour but always reticent on aircraft, so time to have a go guess…. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottsGT Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 While waiting on Carl’s wing to arrive from the great white north, I grabbed the old project off the SOD. Putting down paint now and finding more sanding scratches I need to remove. 😡 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottsGT Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 Well, that was easy. Hope it doesn’t sit another 8 years before I finish it up. 6 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
