Thanks Phil, I don't think I could be without a dog or cat in our house. As for fur stuck in everything, I'm still it sure how I don't have more of it stuck in my paint jobs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlrwestSiR Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 It's technically my bench but definitely my son's model: Edward is using my Eclipse to paint his dino model with Model Air paint. He has fewer runs in it than I sometimes get. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrankyCrafstman Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Working on this beauty. Airfix F6F-5 Hellcat (converting it to a F6F-3 in the tri-color paint scheme) Here's a shot of the P&W R-2800-10W engine. Still needs a lot of detail work.

DocRob Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Nice Martin, personally I don't like the mustard / spinach camo on Russian vehicles, but under a heavy coat of grime it works . Cheers Rob 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martinnfb Posted July 19, 2019 Author Share Posted July 19, 2019 Spinach is good for you Rob:). I didn't want play around and elaborate , this thing was assembled solely for the purpose of trying MIG product to see if it makes sense to replace the "old " techniques (chalk/ pastel, oil paint , pencils , graphite etc. It is the same in convenient packaging, well priced :), more less a smart marketing ploy. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bomber_County Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 Martin absolutely stunning, love the bare metal but not quite on the front mud guard / fender. This is all done with the AK pencils? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martinnfb Posted July 20, 2019 Author Share Posted July 20, 2019 Hi Phil, I used AK pigment which is a fancy name for artistic chalk (powder) and AK wash, that is basically diluted paint, Then I used simple graphite retractable pencil. This kit is a test mule , therefore the true to reality aspect has been set aside and everything is overkilled . Next I am going to try dust effect. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Nah I already built it. most is not seen, but I wanted to give the model heft and rigidness by leaving it in. fit was very well except for a couple areas. pics to follow. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
