Nice, Draken is one of my favourite aircrafts. Are you going for the blue/green or grey paint scheme?
4 November 2014, 21:14
Augie
its going in blue green 🙂 Always had a soft spot for that scheme.
4 November 2014, 23:07

4 November 2014, 23:34
Augie

4 November 2014, 23:47
Augie

15 November 2014, 08:42
Augie
Thanks Guys,

I've been busy this morning, I've been busy blending the cockpit so its less stand out for the instruments. And Started on the Bang seat, Just basic colours so far.. but its comming on nicely
15 November 2014, 12:50
Mats Bengtsson
The cockpit looks really good.
15 November 2014, 16:12
Augie
thanks Mats 🙂

15 November 2014, 16:28
Es-haq Khosravi
Nice job Augie!

Bill Spargo
Augie, photo 14 is awesome , love the seat. So too photo 12 instrument panels are lovely, well done
16 November 2014, 00:48
Augie
Thanks Bill, the seat is all paint, tho have just had to sand 1mm off the sides as even though Aires have said its for the Hasegawa kit.. its too big!!

The instruments and cockpit are mainly eduard self adhesive PE..
16 November 2014, 00:53
Bill Spargo
Both look awesome. Very impressed with the seat, it looks real. The EDUARD painted instrument panels are worth the effort (yours looks great) I used for the first time the Eduard painted instrument panel on my F-18, having painted the instrument panel and the usual high lighting. Then I saw a F-18 model with the EDUARD set, that was it change over, it was worth the effort to change it having finished the cockpit. Are you painting the aircraft the camo colours? hope so.
16 November 2014, 01:05
Augie
thanks Bill the seat im very happy with.

the aircraft will be going into a cammo scheme 🙂
16 November 2014, 09:30
Augie

16 November 2014, 18:29
Edgars Bizūns

16 November 2014, 23:04
Augie
Thanks Edgars, I finished the seat today, Some smaller items added to it..

16 November 2014, 23:12
Edgars Bizūns
Very nice 🙂
I will post some photos of my little Airfix Zero tomorrow..
16 November 2014, 23:18
Augie

Martien Lourens

21 November 2014, 20:41
Augie
Thank you Martien, I really enjoyed your russian Spitfire.. I dont know how I missed that one hehe
21 November 2014, 21:49
Augie
Fuselage together and wing fillets installed.. now to sand...
22 November 2014, 15:34
Christian Ristits
Nice!
22 November 2014, 15:37
Augie
Hi Christian, its getting there lol.. now to let the Mr surfacer dry
22 November 2014, 15:41
Christian Ristits
The Draken is also on my wishlist Augie...how is the kit?
22 November 2014, 18:49
Augie
The kit is good, some areas need attention mind you.

1) Wing fillets.. are not a great fit so need fettling and filling slightly
2) rear fuselage to main join.. needs some fitting
3) Intakes seem slightly small so need fitting to where they'll go.

Other than that.. its pretty good..
22 November 2014, 18:51
Christian Ristits
Nice to hear that...thank you!
22 November 2014, 18:54
Martien Lourens
Cool 👍👍👍
22 November 2014, 19:10
Augie
Aright, so fuselage together sanded and prepared.. tail on and marked out ready for paint.
22 November 2014, 23:59
Es-haq Khosravi
Nice job on this nice aircraft!
23 November 2014, 00:16
Augie
Thanks Es-haq 🙂

This morning has been busy.. got the paint onto to it.. then realised I've left two bits off the fuselage spine!
23 November 2014, 11:21
Frank Krause
Augie working on the Swedish beauty. How could I miss that?
Looking forward to more, more, more...😉
23 November 2014, 11:24
Augie
Frank! I wondered if the likes of you and guido would show up 🙂

Hope its too your liking so far😉
23 November 2014, 11:26
Frank Krause
Yeah! 👍
23 November 2014, 11:27
Augie
So quick update pick its on its legs 🙂
24 November 2014, 18:03
Mike Kryza
Ok - I understand - this is a quick built...😉 👍
24 November 2014, 18:30
Augie
Lol This might be one of my slowest builds 😄
24 November 2014, 18:34
Augie
And.. external tanks
24 November 2014, 21:26
Bill Spargo
Looking good Augie, no not you the Draken, i cant see you
24 November 2014, 21:36
Augie
🙂 thanks chaps.. needed something to do while her nose dries 🙂
24 November 2014, 21:48
Augie
So the Silver Brazilian strip on the underside of a Draken done in my usual sneaky natural metal look.
25 November 2014, 22:11
Choppa Nutta
works well 🙂
25 November 2014, 22:15
Augie
Thanks Nutter, Its wax gilt..
25 November 2014, 22:42
Es-haq Khosravi
Great job Augie! Is it brush painted too?
25 November 2014, 22:44
Augie
Hi Es-haq, It is indeed brush painted 🙂 I've never been tempted with airbrushes.. took me long enough to master brush without learning airbrush
25 November 2014, 22:52
Edgars Bizūns
I agree with you Augie. Airbrush is like a sl*t, expensive, fast and 'meh', but brush is like a wife - you need to know her really good to work right with her.
25 November 2014, 23:03
Glenn
Oh Augie! You have mastered the hard stuff... brush painting! Airbrushes arn't that hard to master it's just the masking process and the pulling down and cleaning up of the airbrush that takes longer!!! The painting part is fast and more fun! 🙂 But yea the masking bit sucks a bit... 🙁
25 November 2014, 23:06
Augie
Lol thanks guys

Edgars I agree, tho in my case its like a good man 🙂

Glenn, brush is a fun.. and I find rewarding
25 November 2014, 23:07
Augie
Lol well my friend its each to their own.. Ijust find it fun to disprove a few misconceptions about brush painting😉

unlike you guys and your [*** ****]s😉
25 November 2014, 23:11
Choppa Nutta
.
Well, I was always a sucker for a good blow job😉

Anyhow Edgars, nice metaphorical analogy but I happen to be very fond of sl*ts 😄
25 November 2014, 23:23
Augie
Lol nutter... that's an analogy for blowing paint 😛 dirty mind eh
25 November 2014, 23:24
Choppa Nutta
I like to think of myself more as an adventurous spirit than a dirty mind, but I'll take whatever compliment I can get ! haha 😄
25 November 2014, 23:27
Edgars Bizūns
😄 best stuff to read before school 😄
26 November 2014, 07:38
Holger Kranich
Augie, my dear...
How the hell could i miss this??? A Draken from you, what a pleasure to see! The office is outstanding as usual, Augie!
26 November 2014, 10:22
Augie
Lol Holly, I have no idea how you missed it lol... I've even been doing my best to take piccies all the way..

🙂

glad you like the progress so far, Have found one potential issue.. I tried my usual weathering technique on the top surfaces.. and its invisible on the paint lol.. need to think of other way.. maybe a pin wash?
26 November 2014, 14:54
Holger Kranich
I´d do a whole wash on it to get the panellines more present😄
Some streaks here, some dust there and you got it!😢
26 November 2014, 15:29
Holger Kranich
And i have to admit that i love your work on the bare metal parts! Testors metalizers or good ol Humbrol?
26 November 2014, 15:30
Augie
thanks for the idea, will try it tomorrow night as out tonight..

And.. the bare metal is neither testors or humbrol.. its a gilt wax called Treasure Silver..

I know its cheating but looks good lol

26 November 2014, 18:04
Frank Krause
Why cheating? Everthing counts, whatever makes the model look good. That's true modelling!😉
26 November 2014, 18:19
Augie
hehe thanks frank 🙂 am sure I told you guys about this before?
26 November 2014, 18:51
Edgars Bizūns
nope, haven't seen this stuff..
26 November 2014, 18:53
Urban Gardini
Augie, is the wax like this new product on the market but cheaper? Youtube Video
 
26 November 2014, 19:55
Mike Kryza
Yes I agree with Urban - one of the best new products on the market. I've painted some grenades and a muzzle nose. Great effect!!! 👍
26 November 2014, 20:09
Acki
What a beauty! And now she´s building a Draken.😉 Nice bird!
26 November 2014, 20:25
Urban Gardini
I've not tested the AK True Metal myself but it sure looks neat!
26 November 2014, 21:16
Augie
looks to be about the same 🙂
26 November 2014, 21:26
Augie
thanks acki 🙂 I try😉
26 November 2014, 21:27
Peter Jenssen
Nice,
These and the Viggens were regulars in the skies of my childhood!
I have one of these in my stash, at least the recon version.
No extras though, can't decide what to get. 🙁
-I've been looking at the Aires full detail set, but finding it a bit over the top.
I like the metal effect. How does Gilt Wax work? Is it like a paint? How do you prepare and finish?
(I have experimented with leaf before, but finding it a bit fiddly for plastic models and only stuck with it for wooden ship models)
26 November 2014, 22:28
Augie
hey Peter,

the gilt is like applying wax/powered weathering..requires no special prep other than usual paint prep 🙂
26 November 2014, 22:31
Augie
also I just went with aires bang seat.. needs some thining to fit
26 November 2014, 22:33
Edgars Bizūns
Where in Europe I can get that wax Augie?
26 November 2014, 23:05
Augie
Hi Edgars, I dont know to be honest, might be able to get it off amazon?
26 November 2014, 23:52
Murad ÖZER
Youtube Video
 
27 November 2014, 00:13
Edgars Bizūns
Ok, I will search for it.
27 November 2014, 08:41
Augie
So. a slight pause at the moment while I await a secret weapon to arrive for washes..

hopefully back on it come the weekend.
27 November 2014, 21:27
Matthias Weiss
Quite impressive what you do with the brush. Looks like airbrushed on the pictures.
28 November 2014, 15:10
Augie
Thanks Guido 🙂

Matthias, Its all brushed 🙂 It's all in the wrist😉
28 November 2014, 19:13
Augie
decals started while waiting on special for weathering.
28 November 2014, 20:39
Mike Kryza
I'm fascinated - 👍
28 November 2014, 21:15
Augie
🙂 thanks Mike
28 November 2014, 21:55
Peter Jenssen
Looking forward to weathering!
Anything to think of when weathering on top of wax?
Just remembered this:
Youtube Video
I know they used to let passengers into cockpits in the seventies, but this is ridiculous.. 🙂
 
28 November 2014, 22:39
Augie
Hehe great video 🙂

wathering over the wax is a little bit different.. you need to be more carful with it.. try on scrap plastic first
28 November 2014, 23:28
Augie
well decals going on slowly ready for the proper weathering.. if it works
30 November 2014, 21:50
Bill Spargo
Looking great Augie
30 November 2014, 21:51
Augie
🙂 thanks Bill
30 November 2014, 21:56
Eugen P.
Hair and make-up ok? So lets fly a Draken 🙂
30 November 2014, 22:01
Es-haq Khosravi
Great job Augie!
30 November 2014, 23:19
Augie
Thanks Es-haq 🙂
1 December 2014, 00:09
Holger Kranich
yeah, Yeah, YEAH! What a nice Draken!
1 December 2014, 08:37
Augie
🙂 thanks Holly.. never know I might finish it before christmas too😉
1 December 2014, 16:54
Guus
Sweet looking Draken ! That alu belly looks better than anything I can blow out of an airbrush 🙂
1 December 2014, 18:12
Augie
Thanks Guus 🙂 its not really paint either.. thats the wax gilt at work..
1 December 2014, 18:16
Es-haq Khosravi
Augie, Is the wax stable? I mean does is stay good at work?
1 December 2014, 18:20
John Thomas
Very nice
1 December 2014, 18:40
Augie
Thanks John 🙂

Es-haw, the wax is fairly stable and robust.. I find best to put a coat of future over it... helps keep finger prints off it
1 December 2014, 19:05
Es-haq Khosravi
Great! That's so realistic!
1 December 2014, 19:12
Augie
🙂 I like it..
1 December 2014, 20:59
Augie
Weathering started....
5 December 2014, 23:44
M.Julian Marles
pretty cool! The numbers should be bigger though, ha ha! 🙂
6 December 2014, 00:04
Augie
thanks Julian 🙂
6 December 2014, 00:17
Bill Spargo
Great to see the highlighting on the way
6 December 2014, 01:51
Edgars Bizūns
Very, very nice! Oil wash?
6 December 2014, 08:06
Augie
thanks guys,

Its not an oil wash, its a temprea paint wash... so hopefully it will show up unlike my flory wash
6 December 2014, 09:59
Edgars Bizūns
Flory wash isn't that good, at least for me..
6 December 2014, 10:42
Augie
Flory's isnt too bad, but I found on this one It just didn't show up against the paint
6 December 2014, 14:39
Augie
So wash has been cleaned up and I started on the Falcons to go on pylons (Yes I know they are wrong varient)

whats peoples thoughts on the weathering so far?
6 December 2014, 15:45
Edgars Bizūns
It is great! But I'd add some streaking effects too..
6 December 2014, 19:22
Augie
well said Edgars, steaking is to come once pylons etc are on 🙂
6 December 2014, 20:17
Edgars Bizūns
Goooood! 🙂
6 December 2014, 21:57
