Alclad II and primers

mike_espo — Wed, 31 Aug 2011 14:11:54 GMT

Hi all. Read all the articles on the web already. Am building a 1/72 DC-3 and I want a natural metal finish. Using Alclad II, but really have not decided on airframe aluminum or just regular aluminum. The airframe A. is a high shine finish requiring a gloss black paint, the regular A. is not.

I primed the model with Floquil flat grey and now I must decide if I am gonna use the airframe or the regular aluminum shade.

My question is: I read that Tamiya TS14 gloss black synthetic laquer is OK. Wrong! I tried spraying it on the props which will be chrome, and to my surprise, I found many bubbles on the surface which had to be sanded down and fixed. A labor intensive process especially if I have to do this on the DC-3 which in 1/72 scale is quite big.

Which enamel or laquer do you guys suggest for use with Alclad II? Also, If I decide to leave the model grey, should I shoot it with Future to give it a glossy finish before I spray the Alclad II?

Thanks!

Long John Silver WIP

tvs — Mon, 14 May 2012 13:40:15 GMT

Hi everybody!

I'm fairly new in figure painting and I'd like to improve, so my idea is to post here my work in the figure I'm currently building to receive suggestions from all of you :)

Here's the figure I've picked, it's the Verlinden version of John Long Silver pirate from Treasure Island bood (that I read when I was a kid :) ), it's 120mm and made of resin:

Here are the parts (it even includes a map! :)

Here's the body already built and primed (I haven't attached the hands yet because it would be difficult to paint some parts with the hands attached):

the head with a very diluted firrst layer of paint:

The base is almost finished, it needs more work on the rocks (they don't look right), I've used oils to simulate wood in the chest and the rim of the base, it's still wet so I have to wait until it dries before fixing the rocks.

Any comments, suggestions are welcome :)

Airliner White

Alex Shaw — Tue, 08 May 2012 23:02:33 GMT

Hi guy's, I'm planning on taking a break from the military aircraft to do some airliners. I do have a question though, what type of white paint do you all use? I've heard good things about Halford's Appliance White, but can't find it, unless they've renamed it Halford's Gloss White. Are there any other good white sprays, Humbrol or Tamiya for example? Help would be greatly appreciated

Old decals won't slide off paper.

aagranata — Tue, 15 May 2012 22:06:19 GMT

I'm trying to finish up my old Revell IM-99 Bomarc (History Makers boxing). Since aftermarket decals are not an option, I have to use the old kit decals. They are old and clearly prone to cracking. I've coated the decals in a few layers of liquid decal film and that seems to have fixed the cracking problem, but now I can't get the decals to slide off the backing paper. They refuse to even budge! I have already ruined the decals for the missile and have resorted to the spares box, but I can't do that with the decals that go on the launcher. Any ideas??

Tamiya Semovente finished

tigerman — Tue, 15 May 2012 21:14:37 GMT

Hello all. This is my contribution to the That's Amore GB. Tamiya's Semovente from the early 70's, not the later one with upgrades.

I picked the kit up for $5 and put another $44 in upgrades: the barrel from RB models, and the tracks from Model Victoria.

The kit came with Italeri tracks subbed in and they were way too short. I was pointed out these resin tracks from Model Victoria and got a great deal from a seller. They snap together and hold very well. I didn't break a single link. Lot's of cleanup on about a third of the tracks.

In hindsight, I wish I got AM lenses, but they were spendy and initially I wasn't going to put a lot of money into it, just the barrel, for the kits were terrible.

I sprayed Model Master Armor Sand Acrylics. I painted the camo by hand with a couple of spotter brushes with Pollyscale Field Grey. Various pinwashes and washes with raw umber, sienna, ochre. I'm not happy with the weathering of the tracks which was a wash of CMK pigments of dark and light dust. The pigments work great by the way and are about half the cost of MIG. The tank was given a light washing and drybrushing with pigments too.

B-36 Peacemaker Group Build - Now Open!

lajntx — Wed, 16 Nov 2011 02:13:21 GMT

Hi everyone, I`m going to be starting a B-36 Peacemaker GB in couple of weeks, and wanted to invite anyone who would be interested in participating.

Since this is a large build, there will be some modifications on the process vs your typical GB paramenters:

1. There is no official time frame other than the start date: December 1, 2011. This GB will be ongoing with no official end date - if there ever is one.

2. There are no parameters or restrictions on the models. They can be any scale, any manufacture, scratch build of any type or of any material. Models can can range from 0% to already 100% complete. Models currently in other GB`s or were used in previous GB`s are allowed as well.

3. Everyone is invited to participate. If you dont plan on building, have built, or just have an interest in these planes, you are cordially invited to share your insite and knowledge! :)

The pre-start chat can be found in the Airplane Forum at:

http://cs.finescale.com/FSMCS/forums/t/142612.aspx

With that being said....

If you have one of these in your closet collecting dust and keep telling yourself you will build it "someday", now`s the time for that someday.

Upcoming Kinetic M109A2 w/pics at Lucky Model

HeavyArty — Wed, 16 May 2012 02:13:22 GMT

Kinetic is showing pics of its upcoming M109A2 at Lucky Model. It looks pretty good and slightly more detailed than the old Italeri kit. The boomerang-shaped cover for the flotation system is gone, as it should be for an M109A2 and onward. As with Kinetic's M-ATV, the details look a little soft.

The tracks look so-so. The pieces around the sprockets and idlers look like they are indi-link with separate end connectors. Those areas look good. The long, straight pieces look to be one big piece with molded on end connectors that don't look as good. The road wheels and sprocket look nice. The idler looks really good with the lightening holes on them.

It also is supposed to have anti-slip molded on as well.

From the Lucky Model website:
"Kinetic 1/35 M109A2 Decal designed by Crossdelta Decals Decal printed by Cartograf S.r.l., Italy Length: 260mm Width: 90mm Height: 93mm Parts: 180+ Model Features: - 2 Muzzle Brake Options - Front Armor Plate Options for Both Early and Late Versions - External Details including Stowage Boxes and Turret Baskets - Recoil System and Breech Details - Open and Closed Hatches for Turret and Hull - Turret Hatch Details - Link and Length Tracks - Simplified Assembly Design"

These are said to be pre-production shots. We'll see how the final parts look. I hope it is much better than the old Italeri ones. I also hope they come out with a whole line of M108/M109s. An M992 FAASV would be nice too.

Photos from The National Air & Space Museum

benzdoc — Sun, 13 May 2012 16:56:48 GMT

Hello All,

Recently I had the good fortune to spend a short time in the Smithsonian's National Air & Space Museum at the National Mall. I took a bunch of photos that I'd like to share. Here's the link to my collection:

Photos from The National Air & Space Museum

Here are a few photos from the set:

There are a bunch of detailed shots of the Me 109 and DB 605, here's an overall:

Of course, the star (from my point of view) is the Me 262; getting an overall shot is impossible (as a tourist) given the lighting and relative height of the machine. Here's the Smithsonian's own overall photo:

And here are a couple of my detail shots:

There are a lot more, at full resolution and you can save any that you like.

Best regards,

Mike

P.S. I've also got pics from the Steven F. Udvar Hazy Center coming in a separate post

Tamiya A6M2 Zero complete (sort of)

stoutfella — Wed, 16 May 2012 13:27:41 GMT

Greetings,

Here are some shots of my just-completed (sort of) Tamiya A6M2 Zero. I say sort of complete because during construction I managed to lose or break three of the four tiny little aileron counterweights. And moments after I started taking photos of the plane, I snapped off the antenna mast. So I'm debating whether to contact Tamiya for replacement parts and undertake repairs, or just chalk it up to experience and move on.

Sorry, no in-progress pics. I started this kit in March, but didn't realize there was a group build until I was fairly far along. I'll do better next time.

This was my third build after returning to the hobby after some 35 years, and my first Tamiya aircraft kit. I was very much looking forward to it after seeing so many great reviews of Tamiya kits. For the most part, it was an enjoyable build, with most of my problems self-inflicted (see above). The fit was mostly pretty good, with just a little filler needed on the wing roots. I didn't care much for the engine cowling being two pieces, though. And even though the top of the cowling appeared to line up OK with the top of the fuselage, it wasn't until it was secured in place that I realized the underside engine scoop was misaligned, with the position of the scoop being dependent on the locating pin on the cowling. I chose to just live with it rather than tear everything apart. I also found it hard to get the landing gear aligned evenly. The legs didn't fit into the holes very precisely so I was left to eyeball them and hope until the glue set.

I chose to finish the plane as one of the Pearl Harbor birds from the Akagi, using the kit decals (more about those in a moment). I used Tamiya IJN gray overall and painted the fuselage and tail bands in MM insignia red and yellow. I used Polly Scale engine black for the cowling and landing gear. I mixed Polly light blue with a few drops of dark green for the cockpit color. I mixed MM clear blue and clear green and applied it over aluminum for the aotake on wheel wells and landing gear doors.

I sprayed MM acrylic gloss before decaling. This was also my first experience with Tamiya decals and was hesitant after reading so many negative comments about them. Well, add my voice to that list. These things seemed thick as playing cards and never fully settled in even with multiple applications of Solvaset. I was just glad there weren't many decals to apply and that I had painted the red and yellow bands instead of using the decals. To top it off, after spraying MM acrylic flat (which I've had no previous trouble with), all of the hinomarus developed a streaky, whitish residue. After finding online accounts of similar problems, I sprayed the bird with a couple of light coats of Testors rattle can Dullcoat lacquer. Thankfully, the residue disappeared.

I pin-washed the panel lines with thinned raw umber artist oil, using the same mix for some light streaking. I didn't try for a lot of weathering, figuring these early-war planes hadn't racked up much hard living yet.

After being away from the hobby for so long, I'm still learning and catching up with each build, and this one was certainly instructive. My next project is Tamiya's P-51D, and I'm tremendously impressed with it after a little test fitting. I'm going to attempt an NMF finish, which may be too ambitious for my skills at this point, but hey, I'll give it a shot.

First of all I should state that I am a complete beginner to ship building. I built a Revell Wright Flyer on another forum and my positive experience in rigging it led to my investigating sailing ships. I have read several of the threads here regarding AoS ships and I was wondering if anyone here has any knowledge of this ship. It has 897 parts and is 55cm long.

Pz Abt 507 Tarnopol April 1944 Original Picture to Diorama

3rd PZGRNDIV. — Mon, 14 May 2012 05:44:43 GMT

This was my first attempt at taking an original picture and turning it into a diorama. This scene depicts the Schwere Panzer Abt. 507, Tiger Tank Battalion, in Tarnopol Russia April of 1944.

Original Pictures:

My Diorama: Tiger tank is Tamiya, crew is also Tamiya. Muddy ground level is made up of clay based cat litter ground to a fine powder, mixed with my own special blend of fresh mud pigments.The background building is a different diorama set in place for the final picture.I tried to replicate each detail from the original shot, Paint scheme, crew stance, gun barrel placement, smoke grenade discharger, fuel drum, extra track links, background work, etc.

Over View: I went with a white wash over the Panzer Tan, then I added a worn look from heavy use, spring rain, and general wear and tear.

Detail Pictures.

Lightship lettering

pittsfieldpete — Wed, 16 May 2012 17:09:45 GMT

A while back I posted a message looking for South Goodwin lightship kit decals. I had no luck but some users suggested dry-transfer lettering. I can't find anything on the web that's even close to what I need. What "font" is used on lightships in general? Based on the scale of the kit I have, it looks like 3/4" tall (72-point) lettering would be about right. Can anybody please point me to any web resources for lightships in general & lettering used on them specifically? You'd think with all the resources on the web I'd be able to zero in on something, but no luck.

Thanks!

Giant Stompy Robots - N-Scale

Warmuncher — Tue, 15 May 2012 02:39:33 GMT

Hi all,

It's been a while since I've posted anything. Been busy on special projects. two of which I have vinally finished.

First up I have an N-scale model of the Imperator MKI from a company in the UK who produces models for Gruntz. The model was slightly modified by me to suite my tastes. The base is completely scratch built by me.

The next one is an N-Scale Dragon Battlemech inspired by the Mechwarrior 4 video game art. Again, minor changes were made to the model itself. The base is completely scratch built. I did screw up on the very edges of the base and hope to go back at some point and fix it. Sorry about the mess. I also want to ponit out that the walls are made of Hydrocal and not foam.

And finally some misc Battletech inspired models. The blue stuff is suppose to be water and not snow. Though the bases could probably go either way.

Hi;

I'm building this kit that I bought on e-bay. The seller claimed that all parts were included but this was not so. In fact, I had to buy the Cutty Sark to get the needed parts, as the two ships are almost identical. I am stilll missing the figurehead. Can someone help?

Thanks,

Tamiya 23ml Bottles Discontinued What Year?

Sprue-ce Goose — Wed, 16 May 2012 16:57:12 GMT

Stopped by Lombard Hobbies last night on the way home.

I find they are selling bottles of Tamiya Acrylic paint at $10.00 for 12 bottles- so I bought a dozen.

The bottles are the 23ml size and appear still good.

These bottles are HUGE compared to the 10ml size.

Because I left the hobby prior to Tamiya Acrylic paint becoming available locally , and returned only two years ago ,I have only known the 10 ml size.

Question:

What year did Tamiya downsize their paint containers?

I have only been able to locate the following post from 2007:

If only the original early-mid-80's formula Tamiya acrylic was still available...

..............they seem to have done away with the larger 23ml bottles, which were great value for money, and replaced them with the "mini" 10ml bottles, while still asking the same price (thats what they did here in Aus anyway).
