Coming along very nicely John.
Thanks mateComing along very nicely John.
Pre shading is mostly done with airbrushes. If done with a brush I think it will give a starker effect than the faded for subtle look that the airbrush gives to lend depth to the surface. It is really easy as long as you have a steady hand and eye. I normally track the rivets and panel lines for the pre shading. I use an Iwata HP-CH Hi Line, I have two of them (only one is really necessary) and that airbrush will do all of the work you need to do for modelling. Good luck with your hurricane.That's interesting, I've never seen a model at this stage before with the panel lines sprayed black onto the primer coat. I'm still honing my skills at the moment and wonder if you could tell me, does the pre-shading work if you use brushes or is that mainly an effect better done with a spray gun? the reason I ask is that i'm currently in the process of building a Hawker Hurricane Mk1 and might consider trying this technique
I use a cheap Chinese made AS-18A which cost me $100 AUD on eBay inc postage. What matters is that it has a gauge, water trap and is reliable, which is exactly mine. I don't really see the need to get an expensive compressor. What counts is the airbrushThanks, they aren't cheap are they! lol i take it you need a compressor to go with the airbrush too, and a spray booth
Thanks mate, my hand was shaking after finishing that!Very well done there John. Its hard to get all those preshading lines in order but youve done well mate
Cheers mateLooking nice mate so far, particularly like the job on the Aires a.m
