Afternoon again Folks,
As the weather has stayed cool, I decided to go ahead and shoot a coat of gray on the Mossie. Thank you for your comments, guys!
Dude 2 - I wanted to use the fluid, but it was just a blob of latex and worthless, so I threw it away...
Andrew - I have Montex and Eduard masks for all of my 1/32 wing thingy kits in the stash. Haven't used the Montex masks yet. The Eduard masks in 1/48 were too small for my old peepers, even with my optivisor. Another reason I love to build armor and such...
Tim - At one point, I almost started to paint the frames by hand too. Then use the toothpick method to clean them up. I stuck with the masks and will see what the results are after shooting green in the morn...
Jim - Thanks Sir and I guess I won't know if the fluid works or not, until I buy a new bottle and try it out on something...
So, after getting everything setup, naturally, as I was about to go, the sun clouded over, and I had to use the LED lamp. I was surprised that my Vallejo sprayed well, being the first time, I've ever sprayed it. Fernando gave me some tips last night over the phone. Thanks Bro!!! I hadn't mixed enough paint, so I could only shoot 4/5ths of it before mixing up a new small batch....
Now I had another reason for not building wing thingy's.....How in the hell do you hold them to shoot a coat overall??? There was no place to put a stick into it or hook a clamp onto it, to turn it all around for painting. I did manage to do the job and we have this,
It did come out ok, but I saw It needed a few touch-ups. Did that, so mission accomplished and now let it dry for 24 hours and then mark off the camo lines for the green.....
That's all for today and it's time for some cold ones. All comments and abuse cheerfully accepted and have a good evening, everyone....
Prost
Allen
