Fantastic work on the painting. Hand painting is becoming a lost art, glad to see people out there are still doing it..., and doing it well!

@Bomber Boy
The misses requires clean environnement.. but im used to it as in my appartement i use to work on the corner of my computer desk that was in the living room.

Plus i cheated and use Kitchen and bathroom paint on the walls that is washable/scrubable 8)


I promises ill get off my lazy behind and update soon

Awesome Office/Model shop Set up !!! Some can build in Clean environment like yours... and surprises others... if you can maintain it? Then there is no worries ! Love the Desk !

I confess ! Its hard at times for me to keep up my work area looking like that.... but I find it helps Keep me going.... do you find the Lights... Hot ? I have a similar set up and I find that I can feel a lot of Heat on my Head ! fine in the Long Winter nights here... but it gives me a headache ! so I keep them shinning away and have a Fluorecent to work with ! similar to the one you have on your desk...

Your "Sharpie lines" Handled being painted over...! Never heard of that technique before… seems to be working for ya ! How expensive are those PEN compared to the Normal Sharpie ?

Take care Buddy ! LuV the Bird by the way !

Ok about time i give you guys something to look at

Paint is done with a coat a=of future applied.

Started on my weapons(fist time using my aribrush for a real project) gotto do a little sanding then the final coat of white

ive installed the stabs and started on the decals.Man o man are therse decals CRAP they take for ever to slide of and its the firts time that a perfectly installed decal
wrinkles with micro sol :-\
I really dont feel like buying new decals so i hope they will come out ok.

Also under the "ZD" the future went really milky white!! i hope it will go away on the next coat!

Cheers

[Myke]

Everything is looking good there. That sucks about your decal troubles. That problem you are having about the future going all milky is the reason I don't use future anymore under decals. Had the same problem once, and if it's a dark color that the decal is going to sit on..., it stands out really bad. I still use future, but use a lacquer or solvent based gloss coat before applying decals.

 

[Neo]

Yeah i use to apply Humbrol enamels clears only but future is soo easy to get a smooth job.

Looking at it this morning the milky white is almost all gone. I normally get the reaction around the decals not under so that when i apply another coat of future it disappears!

Before i continue on the decals i will apply a coat of future over the ones applied and go from there


Cheers

[Quaralane]

Looking good, despite the decal troubles

 

[Neo]

95% of the decals are on also done

[Quaralane]

Nice work on the missiles

 

[Neo]

Thanks guys

Today's challenge:

Well look like this one really wants to fight

After removing the cling wrap and the tape some of the decals broke.... looks like my 2 future coats didnt qui jight enouph on this side :deadhorse1:

I tried to fix it by re setting the part on the tape and got 70% of it back onto the plane.(the "D" is fixed)

Ive got a couple of options.
1- take another "Z" from the decal sheet and apply over this one
2- that the top bar of the "Z" for the decal sheet and apply over this one
3 Try to remove the top bar from the one on the tail and replace it with the one from the decals sheet(the problem is that i reapplied future so it would not get worst)

Let me know what you think

Neo

 

[Quaralane]

Are there other markings on the sheet you can salvage this from?
If not, you may need to paint it
