So frustrating when 'Daddies Little Stormtroopers' are on school holidays, cannot get any 'cave time', ahhh well they're back on Monday after two weeks Autumn (US = Fall) break and I'm back to afternoon-only work which means mornings in the cave...
:yipee


And hopefully some progress.

Ian.

Off to a good start Ian!

F-100D

Over the last couple of days, I've managed to get the fuselage halves together, filled, sanded and polished where necessary and started with the 'metalwork' today:

Starting with a (home brewed) Alclad Dark Aluminium, sprayed at low pressure over Tamiya's glossy black. I left this metal tone for a couple of hours to really dry before masking and spraying with:

Pale Burnt Metal
Pale Burnt Metal & Steel 30/70 mix
Steel
White Aluminium.

The blue tail stripes are Humbrol 48 straight from the tinlet, IMHO a perfect match.

Next I'll carefully spray some Tamiya Clear Blue, Orange and Smoke to simulate the heat scorched effects - real world permitting that will happen tomorrow. In the meantime here's a quick shot of the basic tones on the Quickboost resin seat. Forgot to take a photo of it all finished... sorry !! :facepalm .

Stay tuned.

Ian.

Heat scorching done:

Wings on and sprayed Tamiya matt black overall as an undercoat:

Will leave this until Friday at the earliest before starting with the overall aluminium - I've already mixed & thinned a batch of Xtracolour 142 and Humbrol Gloss Cote [sic] ready

Stay tuned.

Ian.
