Flakpanzer Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Hello Guys. It’s been a long time since I finish my last Macross Model Kit, but I haven’t forgotten I here is Wave’s Phalanx. I painted it with Model Master enamels and Vallejo acrylics, the built was oob except for the ¿antenas? And the missing missile. I tried to do “space weathering” applied different varnish (gloss, satin and matt) and a light coat of light gray and Vallejo’s washes (Everything with airbrush). Between each coat of varnish/paint/wash I applied sugar to do a random effect with the finishing coatings. Hello Guys.

PetarB Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Love this one, and the shark mouth decals. But the Katyusha reference made me smile - very apt! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivorysniper Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Nice weathering !!!. Would love to see all of them portraying the heat of the battle on a great diorama !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jefuemon Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Very nice! It's funny, but I don't think I've ever seen anyone build one of the Wave Destroid kits in canon colorization yet, myself included. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MechTech Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 That's one of the most creative uses of sharks mouths I've seen yet! Nice and dirty finish! - MT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flakpanzer Posted February 12, 2014 Author Share Posted February 12, 2014 Thank you guy, I am glad that you like it. By the way, the shark mouth are not decals, I painted them with Vallejo’s acrylics. Regards,Flak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
electric indigo Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 So you use the salt technique, but with sugar instead? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flakpanzer Posted February 25, 2014 Author Share Posted February 25, 2014 Thank you guys. Electric Indigo, that is correct, I used sugar instead of salt. For better results is ideal to do a mix of sugar and salt (even flour for what I have read) because of the different seizes of the grains. The Spartan is next, I hope have it ready for the end of the year (other project in progress now) and I will leave the Monster for the end .

Flour? I just can't see that ending well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
