Fly! or else Post Your Models 2!

[MacArther]

Thats a problem I have, I either over paint/brush an area or I under paint/ brush an area. The P40 and a sci-fi model I made were really the only ones I am proud of.

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

hey that wellington was done totally with paintbrushes! although i'm going to experiment with more aerosols this summer, cheaper than a airbrush

and yeah i've tried some weathering on my beater (my Revel Dambuster because it's such a poor model it wasn't worth keeping), still working on it though, so for the moment all ym aircraft are delivered factory fresh

 

[MacArther]

actually aerosols work just as well as airbrush when used correctly.

 

[Henk]

Weathering is not so easy to do for me, but I paint with a paint you use for models and it was not easy in the beginning, but I got it right at the end. I painted my Titanic like it looked the day it was freshly painted. I want to build a battleship and compete in those shooting copetisions, but it is not cheap.

 

[Tiger]

Easyist form of weathering with a brush is a dark grey/black wash, done lightly over the aircraft. It'll just tone the colors down.

Finished my Typhoon, the pic is before the transfers went on, also a pic of my Battle and part of my ceiling (it's a bit more crowded now)

 

[Wurger]

Nice.Your ceiling is really crowded.

 

[mosquitoman]

Thanks, I want to find room for some more hopefully

 

[Wurger]

I think you should.

 

[Pisis]

Nice new babies, MM.

 

[mosquitoman]

Thanks, I can't wait to be pregnant again!

 

[Pisis]

Hehe

 

[Henk]

Dam Mossie you sure as hell have a sh*t load of them up there. I see you have a Sutherland up there, nice very nice indeed.

 

[loomaluftwaffe]

I can't find no more Luft 1/48 fighters in the store, so im taking them off the ceiling and putting them on the shelf, Ima get some 1/72 aircraft when i have time

 

[P38 Pilot]

Thats alot of them Mossie. The only model I have built and painted so far is a
Spitfire Mk. V. I think my next model will be a P-38J and for a tank, a Panzer IV or a Tiger I

 

[loomaluftwaffe]

Ima get a Fw-190D next week

 

[cheddar cheese]

My Fw-190D would have been awesome if I didnt mess up the undercarriage, rendering it wonky...

 

[Tiger]

I find myself adding wire going from the body into the undercarriage to give it strength.

 

[loomaluftwaffe]

I sometimes cut the sprues and glue them to the undercarriage ti make it stronger

 

[mosquitoman]

My 3 latest: Typhoon; Demon and Spitfire (note "hangar" in background)
Doing an RE8 WW1 Biplane followed by a Javelin, a Harrier and whatever I can pick up at Flying Legends tomorrow!
