Frank Krause
Hoho, Augie is sneaking in again with her "full metal Thud"? Nice start with the cockpit!

Holger Kranich
Augie striktes back -äh- bare!🙂

Augie
Thank you gentlemen 🙂 I only hope the rest comes out as well.

Augie
Its Fallen together, Have not gone mad on this one as the main reason is to test the finish I can get for bare metal.

Augie
A little further. about ready for decals.

arne vd burg

Clifford Keesler

Augie

Christian Ristits
I already missed you 😉 This is a cool finish, I guess the finished model will look awesome!

Augie
Lol Hey Christian, thanks I just hope the finish holds up once done.

Augie

Augie

Clifford Keesler
It turned out great Augie. I think it is better than mine.

Augie
🙂 thanks clifford i doubt it is

Clifford Keesler
What color and paint did you use for the NMF?

Choppa Nutta
Turned out nice, liking the scheme of it and a cool plane too 🙂

Augie
Thanks Choppa 🙂

Clifford, the NMF s is technically not a paint. its wax gilt.

Augie
Thanks James 🙂

Dont let the raised details put you off, still makes a good show on the shelf!

Rex
Augie, what color did you use under the gilt? And have we already seen that FG. 1 trying to hide in the background?

oh, and nice "concrete shelf" that you have the models displayed on, too

Augie
Hey rex,

Under the gilt is bare plastic which for this kit was grey.

The FG.1 has been seen an is avalible in my project to see more 🙂

Thanks on the shelf, was just a print out of concrete texture to make it look a bit better

Clifford Keesler
That sounds like some neat stuff. How did you ever find out about using that? Did you seal it with a clear coat?

Augie
Hi clifford, I used to use it for other artistic things. I have used it for shocks on undercarriges for years... just never been brave enough till now to use it all over.

It is sealed under future

Christian Bruer
Very nice work, well done 👍

Augie
Thanks Christian 🙂

Clifford Keesler
I like it very much.

Augie
Heheh clifford I think your biased😉

Clifford Keesler
Well maybe a little. LOL.
