Well, I haven't been around much lately, but I managed to read through all the pages I've missed!

Mate, you've made brilliant progress on this, absolutely inspiring work! Love the chipping effects on those yellow parts, the hull plating looks superb, the IMMENSE detail on the rear of the ship!!! :eek: :eek: :eek:

Sublime!

And the primer is indeed yummy!
 
Re: NYLON GAG MK 1?

Thanks for all the positive comments guys, it really is appreciated.

Hit a bit of a wall this week, what to do next. ??? Needed to confirm the design in my mind but i was coming up blank. The next logical step was I needed to intergrate the engine fairings with the main wings but i can't do that until i've wired the engine lights, but i can't wire the lights until i assemble the engine parts inside the fairing, but i can't do that yet because they will get destroyed during masking and painting so i need to paint the engine fairings first but i can't do that because they need to be integrated into the main wings.........etc....etc....etc, i needed to think about how this is going to work as i'm getting to the stage of some major assembly steps so i need to finalise just exactly what order i am going to approach this stage of the build.

Finally, i wanted a break from thinking so i decided to paint the base colour onto the wing back detail sections and the hitch assembly center base support. Both had been hairsprayed but only the wing back details had been salted. The base colour is 90% XF2 flat white, 5% XF66 light grey, 4% X11 chrome silver & 1% XF57 Buff. These amounts are approximate mainly white with spots of the other colours until it was the look i was after.

Removed the salt and gave the whole thing a very light black pastel wash.

This was just chipped and washed, again with a very light black pastel wash.

Started to add some external winglet details on the outer flaps

Finished the skinning on the front of the wings with 1mm styrene sheet, the rest of the wing is skinned with 1/2mm sheet.

I came up with a sort of plan so then i started to intergrate the engine fairings into the wings.

And thats about it so far.

Stay tuned, may have another update on Sunday evening.

Take care.
