Next project:



Seafire Mk III w/'extra dark sea gray' (shown) over 'sea' (the green sea) w/'dark slate gray' camo.

This is an initial line/rivet/hatch test.

Lots of work to do on this skin.

No big errors found on void yet

but many tiny mistakes to fix.

Despite not seeing a nearly complete version, ... can I stick a request for one now?

Dark sea grey and sea green is just the colour combo I am looking for. It is just so me

Additionally, I'd like mine with the chrome plated hubcaps and real leather seat please

...

you mean chrome hubcaps on the "rollies"

and a leather seat in the "sit-downy place?"

STEP 4B.503 blue:

making sure all the major lines match the 3d model,

making sure all major lines match the other major lines,

finding out where the canopy and air scoop are

...

oh yeah,

playing with decals

Great progress so far...

...would the chrome hubcaps get added as part of the finishing details?

Is it to late to ask for wing mirrors to be included too?

The Messerschmitt dealer down the road said he could do me a great deal and include wing mirrrors and a couple of gunpods at no extra charge.

A sheep-flavored air freshener, eh?

But I always got in trouble when I ate air fresheners as a child

Step: Bravo One Red/241.8 (enhanced)



All lines finally meet or fit or balance or whatever,

1) preliminary (relative) line weight tests:

- wing separation areas
- wing root fairing
- cowling area
- hatches


2) preliminary wear layer and color tests, (wear layers can dramatically alter the brightness of the principal paint colors),

3) further corrections to original void:

- canopy
- elevators
- wing root
- gunports
- fuselage panel lines
- exhaust stack color coverage
- warped areas avoided/compensated
- etc.

initial detail work:

- rudder.

lookin good boy!

ooo

Quite nice!

STEP: FerretBall XL-5 (before tax)



adjusted (absolute) line weights

added white 'shadow' (3D) lines/rivets beside black lines/rivets

added slight gausian blur layer (~5.0) to lines

preliminary light/dark areas

adjusted and added rivets

more void corrections

adjustments to overlay layers and principal colors

and played with graphics.
