What did you do in your modeling workshop today?

That way you can pull up reference material in Ultra HD!

Naseby · 22 April 2023 17:50

Well I would rather see pictures of my models in lower Resolution honestly

Marco_Schaper · 22 April 2023 18:15

Finished! But one part is broken and I can’t find the missing part

Nice evening

Rouge the color looks good.

165thspc · 22 April 2023 20:32

Finished a little dio to take to the hobbyshop.

Matt. Try using ‘paint on’ liquid mask in a couple of layers over and between the rivets/bolts and along the edge where they run. Tape will go onto that (you can also run the masking fluid onto the edge of the tape onto the previous masking fluid too, to hold it down. Saves all the work trying to get the masking tape down flat around rivets.

Thanks for the tip Peter. Will give that a try.

After burnising down the edges of your tape mask,consider first spraying with clear gloss to seal any leaks or run spots under the masking. After that is dry only then spray with the finish color

Thank you. I really enjoyed using the pigments on the feet and legs of the soldiers.

Cockpit Canopies, Rocket pods, and Drop Tanks

Dagger1959 · 23 April 2023 06:19

Added Panel line wash on the drop tanks & rocket pods. Need to go back and clean up the pods. Because the first attempt looked too feeble. Second: the color call out for the rocket pods calls for silver. But looking at them. And I’m thinking that maybe I should have used Aluminum.

SableLiger · 23 April 2023 07:29

I did a thing.

As usual, Tamiya kit go together beautifully.

Oh My Goodness. I saw one of those recently at a favorite hobby store of mine. I would have loved to have bought it. But the price was Abit more than I could afford. It’s a pretty tough looking model. MAYBE just Maybe. One of these day’s I will build one.

RougePilot · 23 April 2023 11:57

Ooh, is that the M51 Sherman, or is it a Firefly?

SableLiger · 23 April 2023 12:30

It’s an M51. I do have the Firefly from Ryefield in my stash that I’ll get to later on.

RougePilot · 23 April 2023 12:56

The stowage options I’ve seen on M51s are pretty cool. Does scale concertina wire exist? I saw concertina wire on the M51 reviewed by Nicholas Moran on Inside the Chieftain’s Hatch.

So I did some rework on the drop tanks. Using the panel line accent color ( my first time) and I Really like the way they have turned out. Though the top color doesn’t seem to stand out as well as the bottom ( liter color) does. Let me know what you think. Looking forward to using it on the airframe when I get to that part.
