Mate you've blown it out of the water with this one. Despite those minor issues, it seems that this is a decent little kit. The extra riveting you did is a nice touch. To me it looks like you've got the mix of weathering and tonal variation spot on. You should be very proud of this.

Cracking build and finish!! Love to see an F.8 :D One tip I would like to share if I may, regarding your riveting. I usually add riveting to my own models, and when I've found it necessary, I've always gone over the finished row with a light sand, to remove the inevitable raised ridges that the process makes. That said, I usually work in 24th and 32nd scale, so these ridges tend to be a lot more noticeable. Just thought I'd share and the love, as it were ;) Keep on keeping on - loving your work! :D

@ModellingWeekly Жыл бұрын

Thanks very much man! I really appreciate it :) yeah, I actually did go over the rivets with some light sanding off camera, but I must have gone for a grade that was far too fine to make a real difference (2500), so next time I'd probably knock them off with 1200 ish and then polish up with 2500 and 3k

Great build and finish. Is the masking putty reusable after you’ve peeled it off?

@ModellingWeekly Жыл бұрын

Thanks very much man! Yup, totally! Any paint residue left on it just becomes one with the putty, kind of in the same way that if you put paint on a piece of blue tack you'd be able to mix it all in and it would look like pretty much how it started 👍

@@ModellingWeekly great to hear, looks more malleable than blue tack that’s for sure. Thanks for the reply.

@ModellingWeekly Жыл бұрын

@@45degreesmodelling yeah it's super easy to work with, the most attractive part of using it is probably the fact it isn't oily (whereas bluetak is) so doesn't leave a residue behind

Beautiful build. How long did you wait between applying the panel line wash and wiping it with the paper towel?

@ModellingWeekly Жыл бұрын

Thanks so much! The wait was roughly 15 mins, though it depends on how much wash you apply + how much you thin it down :) a thinner wash will require a longer wait, as more white spirit has to evaporate before you can wipe/blend in the excess :) hope this helps!

Lovely looking model. Just one tiny thing, Meteor undersides were painted High Speed Silver rather than natural metal, so you wouldn’t get the variation of shades across different panels. That’s not a criticism of your work though, which is great.

Hey! It's actually a custom made tool, I essentially extracted a small gear from the inside of a broken mechanical watch movement, mounted it to an aluminium rod, sharpened the teeth so they were pointed instead of square, and finally 3d printed an ergonomic handle to go with it :) I may do a tutorial on it at some point!

At least no "needle stich holes" on the surfaces, imitating rivets. The grooves are fine, nonetheless they are of course not to scale. To make it correctly, the grooves have to be filled with putty and after sanding reapply them with a sharp knife. But who will take this effort?

Each to their own, if you feel like you have to do this then go ahead - but obviously not everyone has the desire to, and that's fine! :)

The atomization of the Harder und Steenbeck airbrushes are mind bogglingly terrible. My Evolution is resing in the depth of one of my drawers, because even with the 0.2 mm nozzle it creates much, much worse surface than a cheapo 0.3 mm noozle chinesium Iwata clone airbrush.

@ModellingWeekly Жыл бұрын

My infinity works completely fine, maybe a problem with your unit?

@egyeneskifli7808 Жыл бұрын

@@ModellingWeekly Nope. Even in this video is clearly visible that despite the 0.15 nozzle the paint is poorly atomized. Pratically just splattered. And in all of the videos I see the same thing. So no, not just my unit. The whole stuff is just inferior to any kind of Iwata system airbrush. For the same price as the Evolution a GSI PS-267 is a much superior airbrush.
