With that out of the way. Finished of the Butcher Bird this morning. Very happy with how it came out. Could probably use a little more tweeking but for now im happy. Also id like to say welcome and thankyou to my new followers. Hope you enjoy my work, all comments and criticism is welcome.
A shot with some troops. The base is only temporary until the replacement flight stand arrives.
Cheers

Mate, that looks freaking awesome. Love the weathering.
ReplyDeleteThat's very cool, nice choice of camo.
ReplyDeleteHow did you do the inking? I always end up staining the flat parts
ReplyDeleteI use AK Interactives Nato Wash. After you've applied it you can go back over it with turpentine to clean up all the excess or streak it. Very handy method, just be sure to seal the model before hand with satin varnish to aid flow and ensure paint isn't stripped off.
ReplyDeleteExcellent...ill have to try that. Do you just use a "moist" cloth with turpentine to clean off the flat areas? Would a matte varnish work, or does satin work better?
DeleteIve found satin works best, I use Q-tips but a cloth or paint brush works too.
ReplyDeleteOk... just ordered the AK stuff :) One more question, do you apply it all over, or try and get it just in the panel lines?
DeleteI just run it in all the lines, sometimes I place a dot here and there in the middle of panels and streak it later with the turps.
DeleteThat looks honkin' awesome! You know, I've got one of those Final Fantasy ships around here someplace....
