charlie8575 Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Too bad most of your pictures are blacked out due to "exceeded bandwith", I suspect so many people are looking up Superbirds that Photobucket thinks everyone is looking for your pictures. That said, if your interior, chassis and engine are any indication of the rest of the car, I must say you've done some very nice work.

Bastardo Posted September 30, 2013 Author Share Posted September 30, 2013 Thank you for the nice comments, guys! Charlie: I have two accounts on photobucket and one of them is maxed-out on bandwidth... I'll try and post some body shots from the second account in the next days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bastardo Posted October 5, 2013 Author Share Posted October 5, 2013 Finally got my guts together and tried the foil technique to simulate old, torn vinyl. Why so much hesitation? Because I was pretty much sure BMF would ripp off any paint off the model it touches... And boy was I right... Luckilly I was able to cover only the necessarry places of the model and the only paint that got torn off was on the windows frames - and I intended to paint them black anyway Roof in BMF: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bastardo Posted October 5, 2013 Author Share Posted October 5, 2013 Hand-painted with a thick mix of Revell flat black + flat white + a few drops of flat brown: I think there aren't enough damadged (torn) places on the roof, so I'm slowly adding more. But this is where I stopped last night - less is more and it is easyer to add more than bugg myself because there are too many Next up considering the roof: - More torn places - Dirt - Dry-brush - Washes - Pigments - Oil paints - ... I am way happier with the result than I thought I would be It came out much better than I expected TBC! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bastardo Posted October 7, 2013 Author Share Posted October 7, 2013 Thank you, guys! I'm really happy with this project so far, because I have learned a lot of new stuff during it. Probably the most educating project for me so far when it's up to weathering. And I know she'll bring joy to my face every time I see her finished in the display case Truth be told, I'm so happy with the results I'm actually thinking of a miniature diorama or at least a display base for this birdie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
