Absolutely awesome! 👍🏻👍🏻👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Machine Guns: spray them silver and then varnish them. Allow the clear coat to fully cure and then spray the guns in your choice of semi gloss black. Allow the black coat to dry overnight and then, very gently, using a sharpened cocktail stick and a moistening of appropriate thinner, gently rub away at those areas of the gun that ordinarily receive wear.....😜👍🏻👍🏻 The silver undercoat will start to show through but the modeller must adhere to the usual rules, re acrylics versus enamels and which thinners work with what and will not disturb the protective layers already used.....just a thought....😜

As a mostly model car builder, the two WKW kits in my collection frighten me. Perhaps one day. You did a spectacular job. And Black Star is always a great choice for outro music.
@KyleCowden2 жыл бұрын
This makes me nostalgic for my scale modeling days. I'm blown away with the level of detail in the kits and aftermarket details like belts, buckles, etc. I had to fabricate my harnesses out of our old toothpaste tubes and cockpits were detailed with heated and sculpted sprue. Instrument panels were drilled out, acetate glued behind the holes and Xerox of instrument panel images scaled down behind that. Washes and what not were what I used to highlight dimensional details like you did here. The one thing I did when rigging wires, control cables and tension wires for WWI aircraft was heating and stretching sprue. Those laser straight "wires" could then be cut to length. I would spray them in aluminum and use a fitch fan sable in a dark gray to create the twisted wire appearance. I truly admire your work here. It was spectacular. One thing I could of done, even in the seventies and eighties, was dissolve sprue like you did for filling gaps. I used a modelers putty and it took for-ever to sand and blend. Your technique is absolutely brilliant.
