Guest PetrolGator Posted September 17, 2014 Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 Nice builds. It's interesting to see the old Airfix kit next to a modern DML version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zglossip Posted September 17, 2014 Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 How do you build and paint them so fast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Deliduka Posted September 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 Thanks Chris! Yeah, I enjoyed building the two side-by-side. It was an interesting comparison on the advancement of molding techniques. Z, I usually build a little bit here and there. When I get to a point where I have to wait for glue to dry, I start another model. Sometimes, I'll have five or seven going at a time. I then get them all to the paint stage where I spend a day or two just airbrushing, masking and airbrushing, then clearcoating. After that, I apply decals to them all, then I weather them. It's almost like an assembly line pattern I use. If one or two fall behind, they get done alongside newer models that get started later. Thanks again for the great comments guys. I appreciate it.

VonL Posted September 20, 2014 Report Share Posted September 20, 2014 You've developed a really nice touch with the weathering on these. Super 72 scale effects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

802chrisg Posted September 20, 2014 Report Share Posted September 20, 2014 Eight builds in a week and a half, WOW ! I see you are using washes and pigments more and more along with other weathering stuff on your models. You are really presenting better and better looking models everytime. And FAST too. Excellent job my friend! Keep up the great work. Chris G. :Smile_sceptic: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Deliduka Posted September 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2014 Thanks guys! It's nice to know I'm improving on my weathering techniques. It is one of my weakest areas, given all the variables to consider. Hopefully things will continue to improve so I can have something worthy of a contest table. Oh Chris, I finished 11 models in that week-and-a-half. You forgot the three aircraft I completed alongside these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
