progress report please.

The painted tips and anti-glare screen get masked off today for the first coat of NMF----dull aluminum for selected panels.

Will post pics soon.

[K5054NZ]

^_^ Cool.

Masking, masking, masking (to the tune of "Badger, Badger, Badger...")





First coat of handbrushed "stainless steel" shade from Polly Scale.  Looks like hell (just right, in other words!):

Outstanding progress. This will be a show stopper for sure.

Show-stopper? Show-stealer! Put that in your JMN pipe and smoke it! Nice stuff baz, we believe in you!

Great to see an update, really curious to see the finished paintjob...looks very promising.

Today is the first day since October that I've had a chance to touch a model...I expect to see a building spurt here as the weather warms up

That is excellent news Jeff! How long til we see some work from you?

[BlackOps]

Well, tonight I got to work on my Macross YF-21 but I have a couple others I'd like to make progress on too.

Pulled the first masking tape off.
Just realized: my favorite part of modelling is pulling tape from a paintjob in progress.  
My least favorite part of modelling remains the putty-sand-repeart task.  

[Captain Canada]

Awesome, Baz ! Love those in-progress pics. Looks neat with all the masking tape on her as well.

Cool !

 

[K5054NZ]

Fantastic stuff Baz! PROGRESS, I love it!   Great work.


BTW, has anyone else noticed the oil stain under the nose in the pic at the top of the page? How's THAT for realism!
