Wingnut Wings Wednesday No.8. 1/32 Fokker E.IV turned aluminium and some new parts from Gaspatch.

Hi Nigel just watching your video. A useful item I found is MONTANA empty acrylic marker pens. These have interchangeable/spare tips of different sizes. Once you find the colour that works for the metal finish that works put it into the marker pen.

Love that GasPatch stuff Nigel, it's exquisite, particularly those wire wheels. Reskit are bringing out some German wire spoked wheels in 1/72! The mind boggles! If only someone would do some 1/24 scale ones for the MG TC car kits in my stash.

Did you see the ASK ones I reviewed last week?

Sharpie does make an ultra fine point pen I have some in Black. They must have them in silver

The Gaspatch wicker seats are gorgeous - I have used one in the Brisfit. We are lucky that we a local supplier of Gaspatch stuff here in OZ.

Yeah an actual plastic airplane build. Yes!

I was caught out by the Sharpe Fine tip as well. It is Ultra Fine tip that you want.

Hi Nige. Here in Asia we have chrome-paint pens - for use on Gundam models - that have 0.7mm or 1.0mm tips that could work for this. I have this WnW kit too, so I’m keen to see how you do the squiggles. Cheers.

Thanks for the info!

I know this is late but when I do turned aluminum panels I base coat the panel in flat colour, then dry brush gloss colour where the panels have been worked. Hammering or stamping would create shiny spots compared to the unworked areas. Turned out pretty nice on my Bandit Trans Am dash panel.

[@NigelsModellingBench]

This "turned" finish would not be achievable with your suggested method?

[@5EyesIsntWatching]

@@NigelsModellingBench ya you picked a tough one lol. What about cheating and making a rubber stamp. And just dabbing it on, like chipping with a sponge.

[@KeithFletcher-po4wy]

AKs newer Metalizer paints have a White Aluminum I like. I also use Citadel's metallic paints.

[@KeithFletcher-po4wy]

Use the pencils in conjunction with olive oil or mineral oil. Thank you KZbin.

Hey Nigel, what happened to your other video about the comments regarding your videos, did you take it down?

[@NigelsModellingBench]

Yes mate, both gone.

Which one? I'll put it back up for a day.

@@NigelsModellingBench I appreciate that, finished the video. I agree with everything you said, but would also love to see the accomplishment of some finished builds. I watch many of your videos with my 8-year old son who calls you the Mad Model Man, he always cracks up from your anger spells. Not only does he now watch you alone on his iPad (build vids only), he now refers to cash as quid and says “you pays ya money ya makes your choice” (we live in the US), though I’m sure he doesn’t even know what that means. He’s also renamed one of his dog stuffys Jess so she has a big fan here too. Your videos are relaxing and no you can’t please everyone. Build what you enjoy building because we’re all going to keep watching you do it. -Steve
