Last step : painting the pilot. The pilot is from Christophe Desse's aviators. He will suit with Lulubelle's cockpit. [attachment deleted by admin]

I use several red / brown / orange paints to give an overall look of an arkanina ground. Rocky, sandy, raw, ... Simply arkanian ! A brass rod is glued around the middle to fit Lulubelle out of the ground. [attachment deleted by admin]

Re: NYLON GAG MK 1? Absolutly incredible ! Congrats. I don't know you find all these ideas of details ... Magic !

I want to represent Lulubelle having a round over the arkanina rocky soil. The diorama is on the workbench. The base is a square piece of wood and Lulubelle will be fitted on a brass axle. Gravels and sand are glued on the upper face while the sides are protected form paint with paper...

Thanks guys for commenting. A view of the dark side of Lulubelle. Lots of decals on that side. For the owl flying saucer, I use around 90 decals from a modern plane decals sheet. This has taken a long time but it gives a colorful variation with the dark gray. All the decals are sealed with...

I use decals for modern military planes. And some decals from Industria Mechanika as well. New style for Lulubelle. The glass canopy is painted with Orange clear from Tamiya. [attachment deleted by admin]

Thank you for following. The paint is removed gently with warm water and a brush. As the layer of HS has been very light, the effects are very small and it appears like a skin with just little spots and not chiiping effects. Next step : decals. [attachment deleted by admin]

It's time for the final paint and I choose an acrylic light gray for Lulubelle. By the way, a post-shading painting will complete the process. This step will give some more contrast between all the panels and doors. Variations in tones is easy to create with the airbrush. I airbrush a very...

Thank you guys. Hairspray and chipping process. For an experimental test, the metalic gray is not the best color for that effect but it works! Next step : gray paint. [attachment deleted by admin]

Re: NYLON GAG MK 1? Wonderful ! Speechless ! Keep going on ...

Thank you guys. Here are some shots of Lulubelle with the final primer result. Hairspray process will follow. Georges. [attachment deleted by admin]

As Gag will say : PRIMER, mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm !!!!!! I choose an acrylic dark panzer gray for primer. This paint is perfect to unify all the added parts together and give a good strengh to the flying machine. Lulubelle is appearing ... [attachment deleted by admin]

Thanks for your comments. @Scott : you're right Jim, my lathe is a Unimat ML. The main parts are in metal and not PLASTIC as the UNIMAT CLASSIC. The price you mention is for this version compared to the metal version which is about 800 $ ! That makes a serious difference BUT the quality of the...

Thanks guys for your kind words. @Gag : compared to your future Goliath airship, mine is just David ! @ModelMadMike : the main oval hull is about 9,5 cm diameter (3,74 inches). When finished, the measures will be 13 cm (large with wings / 5,11 inches), 8 cm (height / 3,15 inches) and 14 cm (long...

Thank you guys. Lulubelle is getting on its legs ! The overall looking can be seen now but the tripod is not finished for the moment. It needs some more work into the cockpit. The engraving job is over on the hull. The protection panel will be fitted on the two rear legs after when painted...
