Thanks Vic

 

[Crimea_River]

Lots going on there having to deal with so many colours. You're doing great.

 

[fubar57]

Thank you Andy. I really wasn't sure I could pull off masking everything twice. I just went down stairs, photo-copied the stars and bars in the decal sheet. I cut one out and held it up to the invasion stripes and all lined up

Very, very nice

Glossing up at the moment. While waiting for it to dry I painted the breaky-offy bits. If you have been following any of Brian's builds F-104nut you'll notice he mentions using a Future wash for weathering. I thought I would try it as well but going a different route; Citadel Agrax Earthshade diluted with Future. I tried it on the lower section of the gear cover....a work in progress

Moving right along and looking good. All that mask would drive me mad, oh sorry, already there.

Along with those flesh eating bunnies.

That line was actually from Part 2. "I Live In A Place Where The Nuts Hunt The Squirrels". Number 3 (by Josephine the XV) is: "I'm Happy They Took You Away Ha Ha".
It's on the same album with other tunes such as "I Live in a Split Level Head" and "Dr. Psyche The Cut Rate Head Shrinker".

[Gnomey]

Good work so far George!

 

[fubar57]

Dawned on me that I never took a shot of the bottom. Not sure what's going on at the rear; not grey....silver. This thing is a beast to photograph

 

[Viking1066]

Looking good George!

 

[fubar57]

Thanks Jesse. Did the other gear doors using the wash. I filled a Tamiya mixing bottle about 60/40, Future/Earthshade. The bottle is the same size as the old large Tamiya paint bottles

 

[Vic Balshaw]

All looks good George and the colour differential is possibly camera depth of field with the angle your taking it and a bit of light change.

George - here is a photo which may be useful. I'm having trouble finding the complete set. FYI there are 21 VC wrapped around the canopy.
