Nice work!

Do you mean to see for each kit the list of paints which are written in the instructions?

Chris Harbour
yes

Treehugger
This sounds nice.
I guess a second best would be a digital copy of the build instructions in pdf format, which sometimes is seen on kits listed on Scalemates. 🙂

my suggestion may make this more complicated but the aircraft are not painted in alclad II, or Tamiya paint but according to a standard such as FS595 or BS. In addition, there are often agreed paint schemes such as SIOP, SEA or "lizzard scheme".

It would be very nice to have a section on real-life paint schemes with their official referene and standardised paint references, and from there a link to the various model paints.

Although I fear this would be a mamoth task.

Check here.... our goal/hope was that after filling X amounts of decal options the amount of variants would stagnate. And we could use this as "Popular" schemes/colors. It has been a while since I last check if I can merge similar entries....

SEA Camouflage FS34102 FS34079 FS30219 FS36622
Lizard Scheme FS34079 FS30140 FS30279 FS36251

Color matches an FS code => show related paint schemes having that FScode (+name +other colors)

I will recheck if based on the massive data you all entered can be done to extract something interesting.

Francky
Impressive!!! there is still a lot more to this site than what I know and have seen. Fantastic how you can make the data itself do the heavy crunching instead of manual labour.

Still, we should be able to go from FS or BS numbers or ... to Humbrol, Tamiya numbers ...

I guess it would not be that hard to make a reference table?

scalemates
We have colorcodes for FS colors as well as colorcodes for color cans. If the values are close enough we fan do the match automatically

Dave Flitton
That is not surprising

scalemates
This is now possible, the FS/RAL/RLM codes under Markings are now clickable, on the color page you can see same/similar colors

Planning to make a forced perspective diorama? If so, looks like a great idea 🙂 following!

Finn
This looks really interesting - will follow

Sky after Snow
Yes, my first time to try forced perspective diorama. I Also prepared two Akagi, 1:700 and 1:2000. Will try to finish by this weekend.

Thomas Kolb
This is really interesting and creative! And the models look absolutely beautiful too.

Spanjaard
really curious about the final results. beginning is very promising 🙂

gorby

Neuling

Following too!

Martin Oostrom
Definitely watching this one!

Le montage est terminé. Plutôt simple et rapide... La cage m'a posé un peu de difficultés mais rien de terrible. J'ai passé des couches de blanc pur sur la carrosserie et j'ai peint les jantes en noir mat brillant. Je trouvais ça plus 'fun' que la couleur grise métallique préconisée.

István Szücs
I'm curious for the quality, and I love the original one, so I'm in!

This brings back memories. Fantastic idea for a diorama and very well executed. However, you should change the title of the album. As far as I remember, the guy on the right is called Guile.

Sky after Snow
Ha, yes. Thank you for the reminder.

Spanjaard
cool!

CaptGPF
That is so sick! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
