Ma.K Falke

[Scrach]

Last nights chipping session... Too much? I considered the left (port?) side of the hatch to be the main means of in and out.

Looking great. I don't think you've over done the chipping. But, I like things overly chipped.

 

[nicholassagan]

WOW so kick ass!!!

 

[Scrach]

Thanks, Derek and Nick, glad you like it.

 

[JohnSimmons]

Not overdone, when you start the weathering that'll blend it in anyway. Great stuff

 

[suavetomcat]

I couldn't agree more mate. The chipping is just right. Looks fantastic.

[Scrach]

Thanks for the feed back, John and Chris.

 

[JohnSimmons]

I hope this makes the deadline dude.

 

[Scrach]

As do I, John. How about you? your beast is way more involved than mine.

 

[JohnSimmons]

Yeah I think the most I'll get done is the basic colours

 

[Scrach]

Well, 'luck' is in my favor; a second day of rain means I'm home instead of work. Time for decals and weathering!

I just saw the extension to 5 July, get cracking, John!

 

[nicholassagan]

Killing it!!

 

[JohnSimmons]

I just saw the extension to 5 July, get cracking, John!

I'm trying! Lol

 

[Scrach]

Thanks Nick, you'll manage, John.

Decal disaster yesterday...



I was thinking about trying to make this work:


Grabbed a paintbrush instead. Still needs work.

 

[nicholassagan]

That's pretty rad

 

[JohnSimmons]

I really like that

I love your Falke! The cockpit is great, and I love the colors you've chosen for the finish scheme.

I've had that same kind of wrinkling happen with decals on my Raptor kit. The dekkles just didn't want to confirm to surfaces that were sharply curved, like protruding bumps. I wound up using a combination of poking holes with a sewing needle and slicing with a Nr 11 blade, and repeated applications of decal setting solution. Then I touched up with matching paint, but also weathered over it. That's the great thing about MaK--something like this happens, just weather it!

 

[Junkie]

That kicks some arse man. Very cool.

 

[Scrach]

Baron, I threw every trick I had at it, and you saw the results. I'm happy with the painted result, came out looking like hand painted nose art.

Glad you guys like it; lets see what the SMA community thinks come final reveal time There is some serious builds going on!

 

[TRM]

Great stuff there scratch! Love the chipping and the nose art!! ;D ;D ;D
