Ello Peeps

Thank you for the comments guys, i value your input, glad your enjoying this with me

So no time for chit chat,

Decided to stop over thinking the design, slap on some masking and just go for it.

first under wing details

Four heat lines with shield made from dental floss box












Removed some paint from my actuator drives to expose the gold plated finish underneath, looks just like a pneumatic ram









Then it was time to be bold
Masked of for just the side stripes, engine fairing and the front wing pattern.











Then it was time for the hairspray Course Kosher Salt











I then hit it with a few coats of flat white to make the colours pop better.











Then several layers of the decanted (what a mess) Camel Yellow (TS-34)












Whilst that was drying i gave my pilot 'Kiko' some attention with some oils





Then i maksed off for the decanted outer Brilliant blue stripes (TS-44) and gave then several coats










Then the moment of truth, off with the masking









I then removed the salt with water a stiff brush and a sharpened chop stick





















I like it, its not over powering, simple but striking. The top of the wing should hopefully be eaisier now to balance it all out. I still have washes and weathering to go on top so it will be calmed down even further.


What do you think?

Got to get up at 4:30am to get the misses from the airport so thats it for me.

Stay tuned for more

Take care

Re: NYLON GAG MK 1?

Afternoon Folks,

Well, Vacation is posponed for a night due to things out of our control.

So let me do the usual blow by blow update.

Thanks for the kind works everyone, it's own movie eh, that would be cool to see.

Let's get on with it and see how we got to the video.

Just decided to do what flowed with the stuff i had already done.
Masked everything up, oversray at this stage would be very bad indeed.









Wanted some colour on the little wings on the top and on the central tail section









Then hairspray and course kosher salt










Then a layer of matt white















Then the same decanted camel yellow as was used on the other details.









Then i masked off the center of the stripes, added a different pattern on the central wing and rear wing just to add interest for those areas and hit it with the brilliant blue













Then it was off with the masking and see what we got





I then attacked the salty stripes with my sharpened chop stick and stiff brush and water

And this is what i was left with



















I'm going to try and get a layer of future on it before i go on vacation tomorrow at 3pm then it will have until Sunday to dry up properly

So until Sunday

Take care

Gagster out
