F-100 trumpeter

 

My own 3d printed pilots 

 

Some scratch on the mask 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

reshaping the wrong trumpeter nose 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

metal pitot tube 

 

 

 

I masked a bit inside the main canopy to create a black seal. Now i will put a bigger mask that will cover to the edge 

First metal paint layers 

 

 

 

A bit of heat burning effect on the metal with clear blue and red to make a purpleish colour 

 

 

 

 

 

i want to simulate the burned paint. This a test with some masking liquid over the metal paint and later a bit of brown and white... the problem with the masking fluid is that you can't see where the mask finish and makes difficult to make some paint effects 

Custom made Mk82 bombs, 3d printed 

 

 

I decided to go to traditional masking tape masks 

 

I traced the burned areas over magic tape over the area. then I stick the magic tape over a masking tape and I cut it with a rotary cutter 

 

finished underside Marbling 

top Marbling needs to keep on working 

 

I changed the masking of the burned paint to blutac instead the masking tape 

 

 

I have applied a bit of white, then press the blutac to expand it and make a white frame. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I have improved the contours of the burned paint with watercolour pencils 

My F-100 is called Miss Mynookie so i must work out something 

 

I traced on the computer... the scale seems difficult to cut with the plotter 

But I can!!!! 

 

all the lettering is painted... then time for the decals 

 

 

Working with water color pencils white and brown on the edges of the burned paint 

 

Ready for a coat of gauzy 

Mk82 decaled and ready for weathering 

the HUN is ready for some weathering, just a few decals on the kit.... 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

starting the weathering! always is nice to find good references 

Left side almost ready 

 

 

 

 

 

Starting weathering, left side first 

I have used oil paints to redefine the burned paint
