Title: Roland CII
Post by: KONG on July 14, 2015, 08:30:28 AM
Hi Guys,

Although not 'Completely' finished, I only have the rigging to go and a tidy up. Apologies for no
build log this time, but internet access has been intermittent, but soon to be resolved. This one
is going into a dioramma, but I thought you might like a wee taster.

Hope you are all good and staying fit a wealthy  ;)

Cheers

Dave

Four tries at getting a 'scumble' finish that sort of maybe looks right.
Also the internal framing inside was done 4 times. Devotion or just
plain madness?   :o

Dave,
    You've been very busy, I wondered where you were?! Nice to see you back at it and that you've not lost your touch. Very nice work, I like what you've done with the finish, absolutely outstanding Model! 8)

This maybe the wrong place for these, but here is a potted build.

Notice the strips inside the fuselage are raised as they should be, not recessed.

Dave, you've outdone yourself, my friend!  The Roland is superb, inside and out,
as is usual for your builds.  I really like your paintwork...not the easiest to make a solid
colour paint job look good.  Thanks for sharing this treat!

Cheers,

LOVE IT, I realy love this built.
The first time that I see, that someone represents the canvas-strip-markers from the "wickelrumpf" on the outside of the fuselage.
BRAVO!!!

The 'scumble' finish is not really documented, as with th ecorrect colours (no surprise really)
So it was best guess and see what looked ok. The 4th one did  ::)

So what was the "mix" you used ?--looks great !

Ed
Title: Re: Roland CII
Post by: KONG on August 04, 2015, 10:51:36 AM
90/10 Tamiya Flat White / Deck Tan (thinned 70/30) airbrushed light coats.
Then Tamiya Light Blue / White 80/20 (thinned 70/30) stippled on with and old brush very gently in
a random pattern. But, most of what it actually looked like is all conjecture anyway, so if you do it,
do whats pleasing and looks right to your own eye. Thats the fun.

Cheers my friend

Dave
Title: Re: Roland CII
Post by: Michael Scarborough on August 04, 2015, 12:18:25 PM
Really a delight to view, Dave. All the kudos are certainly well deserved.

Can you talk just a bit about how you did the seat? The wear on it is wonderfully convincing.

Cheers from NYC,
MIchael
Title: Re: Roland CII
Post by: KONG on August 04, 2015, 12:26:44 PM
Thanks Michael, it was a variation on a theme really. The seat was primed in light grey (I always use Tamiya acrylics), then the parts that were going to show wear were painted on by fine brush using Deck Tan (you could use any whitish colour). Then I lightly airbrushed coats of Red/Brown thinned quite a bit, some thicker and darker than others (shading where required). Maskol covered the worn bits. Then once satisifed I removed the Maskol and buffed up the bits of the seat where the back and the butt go (for the obvious reaons). That basically was it. Follwed it up with fine shading, so to speak, with a
fine brush.

Cheers

Dave

Not to mention the plant pots and the house next door  ;)
I didnt really take much notice of what was behind though.
Really, it needed to be placed in the open with the green stuff
away in the distance, perspective wise, but nothing close to home, so
the back yard did the job :)
