Your planes look cool. I like them. My stuff is simple, just a few Sharpie markers, a few patters, or ruler, and thats about it.

I had the good fortune to watch Adam painting first hand. Great results and surprisingly easy if you follow the simple techniques in his video.
Two thumbs up for this thread Adam! |

If more poeple add how they do various "paint" jobs (Sharpies, paint, decales, etc), then I vote for to be an eventual Sticky, as it will be a valuable tool for the scratchbuilder.

Sharpie + paint
Here is a paint job I did that looks OK and was very easy to do.
On this Bluecor build I drew/colored the tiger stripes and canopy first with a black sharpie. Next I over coated the plane with red Krylon H2O paint except for the very bottom where I used some yellow Krylon H2O. No masking at all, very easy to do with Sharpies and rattle cans. |

Very nice. Thank you, I've done some airbrushing on a snowmobile cowl years ago. I'd like to see an example of how you do the lightining bolts. That bipe looks great.
I'm going to try the riveted aluminum look on mine using sharpies and some spray. I'll post a pic when done. |

Hey, thanks guys. Keep posting pictures and ideas!
I use an Iwata eclipse. airbrush I will try to get some more video's done, but I'll have to make some more planes before I can paint them. Here is a video about painting lightning. I don't use the blue and stuff, I just use white, but it's a good example of how to do it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qBvK35pu2E |

I always wondered why there wasn't a thread like this here. Foamy Scratch builders finish differently because they are working with different materials. Should include paint and all forms of finish and sub finishes. IMHO
Should be a sticky too. Good for you adreher. |
