Hawaiian Armor...interior work part 2
actually i agree with that.
well how about a second part of an update.
got to looking and had some bits to tidy up.
so went through and built a frame of sorts for the sidewalls and the nose. also added just a few longer pieces to show the bolts in the tranny. also added the seats and the driving yokes.
how she looks all together.
i also have a radio to add just a few bits to.
thinking that it is time to get some color on this.
comments, critiques, and criticism are encouraged.

Hawaiian Armor...bonus posts
and then mocked up with construction on the exterior almost finished.
so moving right along. still have a couple of things that are not attached to the exterior but thinking they wont be attached until after paint. also haven't gotten the mg's mounted. going to paint them up and such before attaching them.
so again, comments, critiques, and criticism are encouraged.

Hawaiian Armor...paint work
well after quite a dry spell i have some things to report.
first up was the painting.
i started out with flat black for shadows. i then sprayed od. trying to keep the panels in place. i then went with a od/flat white mix to gain some panel fading. i then went over the lines again with od/flat black.
up next was the rare decals that can be seen in the photo.
not happy with the pics. they dont do the color justice. i have also coated it with future. next up is a coat of future to prep for some weathering and such.

Bringing back memories, that's a fun little kit. May have to do another one soon.

many thanks for the kind words.
t you have a good eye. the decal i made for the 21 is actually a shade or four lighter than the paint used for the black. didnt notice it until i had printed the decal and then gotten rid of the master. i am planning to touch it up with flat black and try to blend it in better.

Hawaiian Armor...oil work
well here i am yet again. way too long between updates.
i spent a little time working on some subtle weathering. in the pic the armor looks pretty pristine other than some streaking. so with that in mind.
i used oils and several different shades. would tell you what they were but to be honest i didnt pay much attention to the name just the shade. not entirely displeased with it. looks better in person. only the second time i have tried to use oils for streaking and first time it came out looking somewhat like streaks.

Oils are looking good. You might want to address the finger print on the left side of the upper hull.
