Viper MK VII

[Benjamin Arendt]

Wanted to show you my just finished MKVII. I used ALCLAD Flat Aluminium as a Basecolour, the Maincolour was a mix. This Model was supposed to be my try-and-error Model for trying the hairspray technique. I used the MIG Acrylic Hairspray fluid. The dirt was done by MIG black Pigments. Nothing more.
















Nothing fancy here, just a side-project. Hope you enjoy.

Nice looking MK VII Benjamin Arendt. I think you got the weathering and chipping right.

 

[Splashcoat]

Looks great! The weathering is spot on!

Nice finish, looks great.

I used the MIG Acrylic Hairspray fluid.

I don't believe MIG Productions has a product like that, did you mean the AK Interactive fluids?

 

[Benjamin Arendt]

Yeah.. I am a little confused about the Brands... MIG/AK. . AK is correct. Thanks.

No worries, I think a lot of people are.


There is an explanation on the AK blog: http://ak-interactive.blogspot.com/2011/04/who-is-who.html

I have been told that the name Vallejo in Spain is as common as Smith in America.

Did you seal th Alclad with anything before spraying on the Chipping Fx ?

No. Not sealed anyway. My schedule was:

1. Tamiya gray Primer
2. Alclad II Aluminium flat
3. Hairspray
4. Basic-colour
5. Chipping
6. Decals with addional painted-on chips (on the decals)
7. Pigments (MIG black smoke/gun metal)
8. Mr.Clear flat

Very nice job here, Benjamin.
You've got the exact looks of this fighter's chipping, just like on the studio model. Thumbs up!
