You are making excellent progress Bob, the engine and cockpit are superb and now that she is closed up it is starting to look the part, the wheels look fantastic.  Looking forward to seeing your next steps forward.

Clean, beautiful, fast and female? :-*

Happy Landings

Hello all,
 Mini update to keep you going  ;)

Tyres have been Gator glued to their rims. 

Painting of tyres goes like this:
Model air white with minute drop of Games workshop red filter to create the most subtle pink known to man, mixed and sprayed. Once this has dried I applied multiple pigments (mud, sand, snow and light yellow) in layers - more will be added once the old girl is up on her legs  :P

Thanks for stopping by.
Cheers,
Von be-spoke in love   ;D

Being new here I just read this thread through from the start and boy oh boy this is great!

Those wheels are SERIOUSLY amazing and will make such a huge difference to the overall look come the end.

Wonderful work Bob, a joy to follow along on this thread.

Regards,

Martin.

You've got a beauty going there, Von Bob.  A couple of questions...What paint did you use for the silver,
and is the shading pre or post...or both?  Great work with your masks!

Cheers,
Ernie :)

Hi Ernie,
 Thanks for your encouraging words - much appreciated  ;)

 The Silber Grau is a mixture of 2 parts Mithril silver to 1 part skull white. Both paints coming from Games Workshop's Citadel range. I basically bought 2 bottles of silver, 1 bottle of white, slung the whole lot into a 60ml glass pot with sealing cap and mixed it like crazy!  The paint is then mixed with Tamiya thinner to a ratio 6 parts thinner to 4 parts paint. I also added a drop of 'Acrylic Flow Improver' to 20 parts of water and from this mix I added just one drop to my paint mix. The rest of the 'Flow' is stored in the zip bag that it was mixed in - Bingo!

Pre-shading was used. I masked off the ribs with 2mm tape, sprayed a dark gray with a touch of dark earth close to and around the rib area, feathering towards the centres. The tape was then removed and the silber added in thin coats. I still have a wee bit more work to do with the silber grau and with post weathering, but all in the fullness of time, my friend!

Onwards and upwards!
