Very nice build, it's a shame most of that work gets hidden.

Hello to all,
I have to warm you: BEWARE OF MICHEL'S PICTURES.
His skill is very very fatal to your mind health. ;D ;D ;D
It's always a pleasure looking your work Michel. ;)

Outstanding! Enough said!

Amazing work on the painting. Looking forward to the continuation of your build.

Truly gorgeous interior, Michel! I especially like that engine compartment.
Cheers,
Bud

Excellent work on the cockpit interior and engine compartment, well done.

This looks as if it is going to be a premier league production. It must have been fun doing that engine compartment but would it have been than messy - being an inline engine?
As someone has said - it is hardly going to be seen anyway.
Press on - can't wait to see it finished. Mine is still quite lonely.

Excellent work, Michel! As gcn mentioned, it is a shame
the hard work is hidden. Well done!

Hello Michel:
Outstanding work on the interior. The details are sharp and clean and your interior painting is first rate. I do like the oily engine interior, looks great. Looking forward to the next update.

Thanks 8)
the beginning of painting, light colors are difficult then, I chose to paint front shades with black and H318 Gunze.

I like it very much, and i am looking forward to the applied paint.
Stefan

I think you per-shading effects will translate to a realistic and interesting overall finish. I plan to take a similar approach. No,ribs on the horizontal stabilizer?

Very good pre shading.
Martin

Hello to all,
Excellent !! You're going to use Aviattic decals ?

Extraordinary paint work, Michel. Nothing looks better than painted markings.
Cheers,

Michel,
On your stencils for your national markings: did you buy them, or did you make them? Like Bud said, they always look so good when painted, and I'm trying to figure out how best to do it myself.
Your work looks very nice, I like this very much!
Warren

Michel,
Beautiful work, your painting is outstanding; it's going to be a real eye catcher when finished.

I never thought of doing this particular type of camouflage finish but seeing you do it so well has changed my mind.

They are manufactured with this machine... easy and effective.

Very nice indeed 8)
Terri

Thank you Michel! I'll have to do some more investigating of this machine to see if:
- It will do what I want it to do (Small stuff in 1/72nd), and
- If I will utilize it enough to merit the purchase cost.
As Bud said, your painted markings look great, as does your build over all.
Warren

Hi Michel, I've just got one of those for Christmas, I'm quite taken by the endless possibilities the machine can offer.
First job will be creating the lozenge for my stalled Hannover.
May I ask what masking film do you use? I have some Frisket film and I'm thinking of getting some Tamiya sheeets as well.
Cheers, Gary

Thank's !
gnc, I use paper ORAMASK.

Thanks gnc & Michel, that was my next question. Now, is there a particular Oramask film that you use? I assume it may come in different sizes/thicknesses?
Warren
-
I use regular old Tamiya Kabuki tape. I stick it on to a piece of left over backing sheet and run it thru the machine like that. Works great.

Backing sheet from . . . . ?
My apologies to Michel and other list members for taking Michel's wonderful build thread off topic. I'll start a new thread for this so as not to disrupt.

Warren, It's the Oramask 810 ;)

You work wonders with an airbrush.

Michel (Angelo),
Really superb and inspirational work.
Can you share a little bit about the use of the oils, s.v.p. This really interests me and I'm sure the others. I apologize if these seem like a lot of elementary questions but this technique is new to me and I want to understand it.
Would you say that you are using the oils like a canvas painter would use a glaze? Are you applying them with a brush? How much are you thinning them? Do you have any photos of a specific spot before and after the oils are applied?
Thanks very much.
Cheers from NYC,
Michael
-
Michel.....I just went back to your Brisfit build and found this:
Weathering make with oil paints, four colours were used : white, Naples yellow, “Ombres brûlées” and black. They are applied with a brush, without dilution and as spread out as possible.
Oil paints suit perfectly because you can work on it with no rush, you can mix it and dose the level of opaqueness. Black is applied first on the least subjected to light areas, having naturally defined subjectively the position of the sun.
Any more thoughts on the technique? This is super.
Thanks!
Michael

Hello to all,
Yeah !!! A great one !

Very nicely done Roland. I am partial to models that attempt to show the effects of what I sometimes call "WAD" (wear, abuse, damage) and yours is another fine example. I am appreciating, and using, more and more oils to achieve better effects in this area. I learned what is sometimes called the "dot filter" effect when building armor models. I use four or five different colors of oil paints applied in very small dots with a toothpick in random spots over the surface I will be working with. I use sometimes odd colors such as blue, red, white, yellow, black, etc. that don't have counterparts in the basic paint color scheme. Somehow these usually combine to create realistic tonal and color effects anyway.
I will then use a wide, chisel shaped brush with short bristles, dampened (slightly) with turpenoid or other oil thinner, and blend the colors, brushing in a logical direction, such as along the airflow lines on wings and vertically along fuselage components, etc. until I get a varied, multi-hued effect that looks good to me. I'm sure there is some artistic, color basis for this, but I don't know what that might be. I like to visualize where the light might be coming from on a subject and go for lighter and darker areas accordingly.
I think oils have a wide application in modeling, especially in weather beaten, abused and ageing WWI aircraft.

Inspiring work, Michel. Wow!
Cheers,
Ernie :)

What a beauty, Michel! I love how you executed this unique scheme.
Cheers,
Bud

It is a very superb work Michel!

Your photos with a light grey background are much better (and easier to the eye). Please don't use a black background any longer. Your models are such beauties, they deserve to be seen with a better surrounding!
