    Whats Lying on your Workbench MK IV

    in The Workshop!

    Posted · Edited by Skyboy

    I couldn't find the old Arcadia 1/60 YF-19 thread... so here's what I just finished! Finally after a year of nakedness... I managed to make some combination of decals, rub-on transfers and some very special help from an old friend on these boards. These are the markings that should have been tampo printed on a $400 toy! The panel lines are too shallow to hold any wash, so I used a very sharp 4H mechanical pencil to line them (the flaps and moveable surfaces are a black wash) and did a very light "post-shading" with pencil filings and a smudge stick (very light since its a new demonstrator aircraft). Finally it was all sealed in with a semi-gloss future clear coat to protect the custom rub-on transfers and post shading. I added a dab of silver to the landing gear struct and it improves it a lot IMHO. I guess the VF-0D is next, but the salt weathering has me cautious.

    I like them a lot, Skyboy; specially the first one. Great job!

    My pleasure.... ^^

    Skyboy, one thing I would suggest is if you're going to put the images in a setting that looks very realistic you should probably make the toy itself look a bit more gritty/used as well. I love the poses/look/idea of these photos but I think a bit more manipulation on the surface of the toys would really make them pop. Especially that first pic.

    Thx for your suggestion, I'll do my best next time..... I am happy u guys like it :p
