Masking the pattern with airbrush masking film and result

I Like The Kites
electric indigo replied to Less than Super Ostrich's topic in MW Site News & Member Feedback
I'm very happy with the direction things are taking lately, and I felt inspired to contribute another basic "kite button" design from which the other icons could be derived. -
Top level wings with base coat of paint, ready for masking.
-
The key designs were done by Ikuto Yamashita of Evangelion fame, he was working on Yukikaze together with the guy who did the mechanical designs for Mamoru Oshii's movies and whose name I keep forgetting. His style is often similar to Yamahita's. -i-

Hobbysearch has new pics, contents + assembly guide to drool over 'til the box arrives. clicky
-
Pattern + airbrush weathering on the second level wings. I also build the forward gantry from styrene rods, hope it won't be destroyed by the airbrush blast.
-
Pattern on the first set of wings (underside, too). I already know I won't build this kit twice...
-
They basically had everything from the show except the transporters/gunships. Lets hope we see some of the fighters soon. I completed sanding and did a test assembly. Also started on the pattern for the stencils.

I posted a first look at the Banshee kit over at the models section go here

I just received the kit of the impressive Yukikaze's "Flying Dutchman" today, so here are first impressions. This is what you get - about 40 parts of resin, a set of dry transfer and waterslide decals, comprehensive instructions and a color laser print for the paint sheme. The quality of the engravings and the details is nothing short of spectacular. Parts require a minimum of cleanup, so the main challlenge will be getting everything aligned properly, and the paintjob. The CG model shows heavy weathering and has a kind of multitone tribal pattern on it, so I'm thinking of tracing the pattern in Illustrator, scaling it to the right size and cutting it from masking film. If you feel tempted, HLJ still has it in stock link -i-

Well, Emmerich made "Das Arche Noah Prinzip" before, basically in a garage, but that was also his last good movie, IMO. -i-

Here are some snippets from the artbook

There actually IS an art book out now http://www.amazon.co.jp/exec/obidos/ASIN/B...8-9975565?? The Fairy Air Force At War DVD comes with a VERY nice art book. Very comprehensive too. The DVD it comes with is kinda lame, but that's not what I bought it for It's 50 bucks VERY well spent! 372672[/snapback] Got the artbook yesterday - highly recommended!!! C-31 Gunship anyone?

What is lying on your workbench?
electric indigo replied to Tuffskull's topic in Hall Of The Super Topics
Great idea, HWR. Those old anime shows like Venus Wars and Gall Force have tons of interesting hardware. Good luck with the project! -i- -
Did someone notice this 1/38 Mave that some crazy genius scratchbuild a couple of months ago?
-
I dare say that this is the original novel. Nice to see that the aircraft design has leaped forward a few lightyears since then. -i-
-
Even IF Platz makes a Sylphide, it won't be cheaper that this one and probably will come without the fantastic cockpit. But there's still hope that Omo Ole Toys will release their 1/144 yukikaze series. wm cheng, you can open an international account at amazon.jp and order from the site. They have english help to guide you through. -i-
-
Ouch, where's my head??
-
May we ask for a glimpse at the artbook's content?
-
I think it's in line with the artwork and the Omoole version
-
A 1/72 Sylphide finally showed up at WF. Anybody got info on this?
-
The Falken is already on "order stop" at HLJ. I hope you all have placed your order...
