[lesofprimus]

Hell yea, uve come a long way on this Build Maglar.... Lookin good so far...

 

[Wayne Little]

Does look a bit of alright.....

 

[Maglar]

Thanks all! All the seam fillings held up nice except the rear gun cover, but I really don't care at this point, with a model this big one cant expect perfection on everything.

My only issue now is looking and trying to find those little hairs and such, because once the chrome goes on I know they will pop out if I dont get rid of them now. About to go hunting for them now with my sand paper

 

[marek]

Nice model is comeing, mate!

 

[Maglar]

Hello all... The chrome is beautiful but my stupid self isn't. The blotch is a pool of paint from a quick jerk from my hand while I was airbrushing, flew right out of the cup. Also, those water marks came back to shine after I tried to remove them from the shower incident. Sanding and will probably have to do the whole damn wing section. Im truly mad and sad

 

[Airframes]

Not bad work Mag. That big splotch can be masked and the whole panel re-painted, no problem. The other small blemishes should blend in with a bit of polishing and then some thoughtful weathering. By the time you've varied the tones on some panels/sections, and applied the decals, the small blemishes won't really be noticed.

 

[Maglar]

Too late, I already sanded the whole damn wing! Going to put on a coat of gloss black and try again. I will have to play with the polishing since this is chrome and it can be achieved. It's sad the plane looked perfectly normal at a distance, if that splotch never hit I probably wouldnt have touched it. Its so shiny in light only a few shot but this all could have been avoided if I wasnt an idiot on shower head knowledge!!

 

[Maglar]

Gloss black sprayed again, it went on easier this time then the first. I painted over all the spots and left it outside to dry. Made a tent like cover for it with a tarp and chair, will probably wait a few days for it to fully cure. What to do now, hmmm!

 

[Wayne Little]

Mmmm ....I'm sure you'll find something to do....

 

[dirkpitt289]

I've never tried a finish like that but after seeing yours I think I'm going to have to give it a shot. VERY Impressive!

 

[Heinz]

Keep at it Maglar!

 

[dirkpitt289]

What's the next step with this finish? Does it have to be buffed out or something?

 

[Maglar]

Well I sanded it off and resprayed my gloss black, all I have to do is go spray chrome and finish it! Will be starting it up again soon, so stay tuned..

[Wurger]

With all here.

 

[PurplePenguin]

Interesting to see the problems you've encountered i'm thinking of doing the Memphis Belle version of the B-17 soon.

 

[Maglar]

That should be fun, the interior was fun painting but theres a seam and gap to be filled everywhere. Make sure you have to space if you're going 1/48! 20 by 28in!!!
