Florent ThouretSpanjaard, first time I used decals to create masks... not as simple as I thought

Patrick HagelsteinHi Florent! Building this bird as well I'm wondering what paint you use to get that pearlescent orange. It looks great!

Philippe Bouq'What an interesting project this 4F! (French Fantastic Florent's F16 !) 😉
Vas-y Florent ! On s'installe... (ici aussi !)

Florent ThouretPatrick, I use Mr.Paint ref, made specially for this version. They're in the project, take a look. Two colors for the orane you see, and a red for the lion.
EDIT : you use the same ! So you won't have any problem to get the same result, or better...
Thanks mates !

Patrick HagelsteinCheck! I tested those colors on scrap plastic and boy are they beautiful!

Florent Thouretnot really... I had to use a lot of 1st layer orange to cover it. So I think there'll be a step on the black/orange line...

Florent ThouretAs a beginner (as I defined myself, honnestly), I always do mistakes, a lot...
19 January 2018, 16:30
Patrick HagelsteinMaking mistakes is the best way to learn! But I know what you mean, you don't want to ruin your most precious project to get that steep learning curve. 😉

Martin OostromMy most precious project is always the one I'm working on 😄
Keep learning, keep building. Eventually al lessons are learned?

Florent Thouretit's like if every session is a lesson.. GRRRRR !!!!! 😉
but yeah, I learn

Spanjaardreally Martin? it was a lot easier when I could simply paint the two halves of the fuselage, glue them together... and add more paint to seam, and be happy with results 😄 😄 😄
or maybe today I make things more complicated that i should 😛

Maciej BellosI am with Spanjaard here. It was easier when I was 11 or so, I just glued the parts together, and if I was lucky enough to have a Matchbox, it was also coloured!
Great work there Florent!
19 January 2018, 21:47
Florent ThouretThanks mates !!!! The upper fuselage is done. And I'm pretty happy with it... it's far from what I wanted to have but... it's done and clean enough.

Martin OostromCome on guys, don't demotivate Florent. If you aren't raising the bar with each build, it DOES get easier. But just like the rest of you, I raise the bar too much with each build 😄
20 January 2018, 09:55
Florent ThouretNo problem ! If I had to be demotivated, I would be a long time ago 😉

Kees KleijwegtI agree mates, the Viper (or should I say Lion😉😢 is looking very nice
20 January 2018, 12:25
Peter HardyFlorent, you are spending too much time on Scalemates and not enough time on building the thing!
20 January 2018, 20:24
Florent ThouretPeter, I can spend 30sec on scalemates but I need at last 1hr with peace to work on the beast

bughunterSorry, it is may be to late, I thought I have wrote that already, but it was on another thread. Do you know, that MR.Paint has a special 3 color orange set for the F-16? See last picture here:
mrpaint.sk/index.php..t&product_id=286
Great colors, really. Works like Alclad in color.
21 January 2018, 17:40
Patrick HagelsteinI believe Florent used those colors. And yes, they are great!!!
21 January 2018, 17:46
Florent ThouretI use them (as mentioned in the project) and yes they're great !
Thanks Patrick 😉

Florent ThouretI decided to stop this for e while. It's like a curse is on me.... My arm caught the spray and some paint went on the wing I've just finished.. it's too much for me, for the moment.
22 January 2018, 03:48
Patrick HagelsteinMan.... That black is fixable but the orange is gonna be something different. Damn! I put my Solo Display away because I had visitors over these holidays. Time to take over the torch and get mine going! 😉
22 January 2018, 04:49
Florent Thouretnot just one.... everyone around here learnt some new bad words....
22 January 2018, 13:13
Florent ThouretI can but for some days/weeks/months/years/lives I can't go on this... (but I've just fixed the airbrush problem so it won't happen any more - see it in "my desk" album)
22 January 2018, 14:58
Florent ThouretI'm on it. The real problem is tha my "orange 1st layer" is just... empty... I still have some drops but it's all
22 January 2018, 17:10
Martin OostromIf you don't fix it now, you'll be annoyed whenever you spot the box, or another f-16 build or something orange 😉
Bite the bullet now and you will be extra proud of yourself (and so will we) 👍
22 January 2018, 17:10
Florent ThouretDone ! no.. in fact i'm running out of paint.... I still have 2 problems. I'll show you later
22 January 2018, 18:26
Patrick HagelsteinI have some bottles over here but I think it's more convenient to get them directly from Slovakia instead of the US.
