Primed and preshaded, which was one hell of a job to do. Base colours start tomorrow then camo work. New video should be up mid week i reckon

[FishBowlMan]

Bloody hell mate, that's impressive.

Looks like one of those line pencil drawings.

[Coen]

That's AWESOME!!!!!!
That's going to look really cool under the top coats. Wow that's neat.

[martin57]

[Paul]

Yeah took about an hour all told

[Hillbilly]

Holy hell that's a lot of little black lines.....next question,have your eyes uncrossed yet

[Paul]

Well it was bedtime for myself and hanna and i said "I'm just bona pop to the cave to paint the white underbelly on the f4" an hour later and I've painted the entire aircraft.

Akan paints were superb as usual, the white covers better than any whit dive used before much better than tamiya white too. Ive already added some weathering to the underbelly white paint. Theres a few places that need touching up but ill sort those tomorrow, over all its looking good

[Sean]

Thats some astonishing pre-shading work there

Can you do it "one handed" or do you use your spare hand to steady & guide the other hand (absolutely no pun intended).

Doesnt make any difference, I`m just curious - hey maybe you mention it in the latest video, in which case, say nothing & I`ll find out.

Looking forward to mid-week

I do probably about 80% one handed

[Cigz]

[UKguyInUSA]

Ohhh...sweet!

[johnpd]

What a build pal. Wish I could get mine to look that good. Can't wait to watch the next part

[Paul]

So now fully painted, with paint weathering effects, panel fading mottling and post shading, gloss coated then 7 hours of decaling and then matt coated ready for some weathering.

Just edited part 12 so hopefully that should be up soon, one more part and its finished

[Nige201980]

That bloody fantastic mate.

[Dragon64]

Amazing attention to detail. You should be proud of this one. Good choice of kit
Thanks for sharing

Cheers

Tommy

[cib2265]

Wow! I cannot wait to watch this update - you really are doing it justice Paul!

[Paul]

Getting there now, all the aircraft was given an oil dot filter to bleak fade and add streaks to the paintwork. Once dry this gloss coated using alclad aqua gloss, and then i used Ultimate concrete wash for the panel lines rivets etc.

LOL


You can see the tester tail piece and the effect the wash gives

[Paul]

And after a few more hours work, it's now finished, 12 months and 13 videos later thank god.

Video will be edited next week and hopefully uploaded fairly soon













Some different shots, I think they look better without the white background

[jmar829]

Great job, Paul! I'm always impressed with your work!

[Nige201980]

Again stunning work Paul.

[shortCummins]

I've just watched the video, fantastic build and weathering…

…but more importantly congratulations to you and your better-half on Baby James, have you stopped grinning yet? it took me about 3 months when my first (29 years ago! seems like only yesterday) was born
