Finish in Alclad, Chris? Wow ...
... a high goal you've made!
For this I wish you a skilled hand, and - of course - also for the other works on this beautiful and great model! 👍

Fabian D.
A huge thing... with a nice wooden floor 👍
I've got one in 1:72, it was almost to big for my shelf...

Chris W
Yes - a light base (desert yellow) and brown oil paint. Very easy and very effective.

John Thomas
Very nice start.

Albi Hitz
... Not going to go too crazy on this one .... considering the size of the finished model ... a good one 😉
But to be honest, a good start. I like your painting style. I'm curious for more....

Gerald

Clifford Keesler
Love it!!!!!! Glad to see I am not the only 1/32 scale freak around. I'll be watching.

Chris W
No one here is a freak Clifford.... maybe a little obsessed... but not freakishly so! Here is my attempt to do 3 different 'woods' in the bomber nose section

Hunter Cummins
That looks really great 😄😄 how dix you do it ??

Roland Roth
Very good paint job so far, Chris! 👍

Jan Hazes
Looks very promissing. The nice wood finish even gives a 'cosy' feel to the flying coffin.

Chris W
Hi Hunter - if you mean the 'wood' then here is how I did it:
Step 1: Tamiya Desert Yellow (and mix in some white for different shades)
Step 2: Brush on a layer of gloss (future)
Step 3: Brown oil paint - I dab a few spots but you don't have to worry too much about how to put it on, you will be removing most of it in the next step
Step 4: Use a dry brush to 'clean' the oil paint off the surface. To make a convincing wood grain, just go in the same direction for the entire piece. It takes forever to dry so you have a lot of time to work with the paint. If you took off too much, just dab some more oil paint on
Step 5: LET IT DRY!
Step 6: Dull coat

Hunter Cummins
Ha well that seems easy enough😉😄😄😄 ilove that idea 😄 will tryit very soon 😄

Michael Franz
Nice work so far! 🙂
