Ello Peeps So, no time for chit chat, Decided to stop over thinking the design, sorry Dicky i can't wait any longer, patience was never my strong point its time to slap on some masking and just go for it and stop being a girls blouse. First under wing details Four heat lines with shield made from dental floss box Removed some paint from my actuator drives to expose the gold plated finish underneath, looks just like a pneumatic ram Then it was time to be bold Masked of for just the side stripes, engine fairing and the front wing pattern. Then it was time for the hairspray Course Kosher Salt I then hit it with a few coats of flat white to make the colours pop better. Then several layers of the decanted (what a mess) Camel Yellow (TS-34) Whilst that was drying i gave my pilot 'Kiko' some attention with some oils Then i maksed off for the decanted outer Brilliant blue stripes (TS-44) and gave then several coats Then the moment of truth, off with the masking I then removed the salt with water a stiff brush and a sharpened chop stick I like it, its not over powering, simple but striking. The top of the wing should hopefully be eaisier now to balance it all out. I still have washes and weathering to go on top so it will be calmed down even further. What do you think? Got to get up at 4:30am to get the misses from the airport so thats it for me. Stay tuned for more Take care

Afternoon Folks, Well, Vacation is posponed for a night due to things out of our control. So lets do the usual blow by blow update. Thanks for the kind works everyone,i appreciate the support Let's get on with it and see how we got to the video. Just decided to do what flowed with the stuff i had already done. Masked everything up, oversray at this stage would be very bad indeed. Wanted some colour on the little wings on the top and on the central tail section Then hairspray and course kosher salt Then a layer of matt white Then the same decanted camel yellow as was used on the other details. Then i masked off the center of the stripes, added a different pattern on the central wing and rear wing just to add interest for those areas and hit it with the brilliant blue Then it was off with the masking and see what we got I then attacked the salty stripes with my sharpened chop stick and stiff brush and water And this is what i was left with I'm going to try and get a layer of future on it before i go on vacation tomorrow at 3pm then it will have until Sunday to dry up properly So until Sunday Take care Gagster out

I haven't checked in on this in a while and MAN...OUTSTANDING AS EVER!!!! The yellow and blue looks great and the second round of those colors on the rear wings really set things off nicely. Hope you enjoy your vacation:)

Evenin Folks, Thanks for the positive words friends, its difficult to know what to say sometimes but i really appeciate the love friends Well, I've been been back from me holiday for a week now and this is where I'm at...... I had sprayed a very tentative layer of Future, I was worried it would mess with my Alclad paint And it did a bit but i think i can fudge it into weathering. So Very thin black pastel wash over the top of the wings Then i got a new piece of conduit tubing so i could mount the ship in a verticle position... Easier to work on and everything could flow in the right direction Removed the masking tape from the underside vector nozzles Applied the vodka pour spout thruster vector nozzels painted matt black The underside after the wash is removed Added another layer of black pastel wash to the engine actuators Then i just worked on the details on the upper wing Then i added AK engine oil and streaking grime to the back flap actuators Then added oil weathering to the front section And the wing tops and details Thats the story so far Stay tuned kids Gagsterinoe OUT

Morning Everyone I want to Thank each and every one of you for commenting. Your encouragement at this final stage of the build is what I need at the moment to keep going to the end. I seem to do a lot of work with intense focus and, "POW" it's five hours later and the thing just looks dirtier, sometimes it is difficult to know what I've done, and conversly, when to stop the process. I made the ship pretty filthy because, like with the colour scheme, I figure that this is my ship, and as I am the most terrible person at keeping stuff clean and well maintained, so if this thing WAS mine it would look this bad, if not worse. Well, what's been doin lately then my peeps. So, I'm not too bright, as I've pointed out in the past, so I totally forgot to apply my decals. Nice one professor. I wanted just a few decals in key spots. My good friend from theRPF, MikeJ had very kindly sent me a few of his spare decals and some brand new ones still in the packet. MikeJ, official Top Bloke Award , Thanks again mate. I had a few of my own lying around so, here's what I did.........., Added a couple to my HUD, anyone recognise the top one? I wanted to add some identification numbers to the underside. I didn't have anything the right size so I made my own. I sketched out my numbers onto two strips of masking tape, then cut them out with a scalpel. The number is a shout-out to my Mom, it's her date of birth I then applied them to the underside of the wings with a close framework to create the compact look i wanted. I AB'ed them with a light misting with matt black, heavier at the front, fading slightly towards the back. I cut some of the donor decals to create some matching front wingtop identification numbers, added various others around the cockpit frame. Next came the underside of the main body and wings with AK products. Streaking grime and engine oil, like I said very, very dirty. Then I moved on to the engine fairings, didn't get many pictures because I was in the "zone" and its the same thing over and over, building the layers but here's what I ended up with. And that's the story so far. Well, I'm off to England for a quick visit on Friday for a week So, the MK.1 will be on hold for a week, so I will see you soon my friends. Take care everyone Gag

Very cool! Love the HUD markings, that looks suspiciously like an AT-AT in the cross-hairs! Nice tip of the hat to your mother as well, those wing numbers really give it some character.
