Welcome gentlemen 🙂 After being away from the work bench since April I thought I should start with somethinh nice and easy = Tamiya it is then 👍
20 July 2021, 07:26
Jan Peters
Welcome back 🙂
Nice office from the box!

Those new Tamiya Zeros are pretty nice.
22 July 2021, 21:43
Sebastian Meyner
@Jan: Thanks mate 🙂
@John: they are indeed…already thinking about Tamiya's A6M3 😉

beautiful cockpit

Thank you Spanjaard 👍

Spanjaard already said it. A really beautiful cockpit. 👍
24 August 2021, 19:27
Sebastian Meyner
Thanks mate 👍 Certainly not my best work but I'm happy with it 🙂
24 August 2021, 19:37
Daniel Klink
Ah another Zeke...! I like the progress very much Sebastian 👍
29 August 2021, 09:53
JEAN-LUC LELODEY
I love the oily look of the engine.
29 August 2021, 11:05
Sebastian Meyner
Thank you Daniel! I might even do a 72nd scale Model 32 before the end of the year 😉

Thank you JL L 👍 The look comes from my usual pin wash.... oil paint diluted with Zippo lighter fluid.
29 August 2021, 11:23
JEAN-LUC LELODEY
Thanks, I will test this next time

Very nice cockpit. This kit as gone a long way from the old one in therm of details.
29 August 2021, 15:25
Sebastian Meyner
Thanks Guillaume! Yes, I wish Tamiya would consider re-tooling their old A6M5c... I'd preorder at least two 😉 Having said that, there are a lot worst kits out there than Tamiya's vintage Zeros

Looking very nice.

This morning's mission completed: Hinumarus masked and spray painted
1 September 2021, 08:42
Jan Peters
Painted hinumarus look great, I must give this a try one day.
1 September 2021, 10:17
Sebastian Meyner
Thanks Jan 👍 By now that's my standard solution if I have something Japanese on the bench, since large decals (i.e. Hinumarus) hardly settle neatly into panel lines... especially if those decals are from Tamiya 😉
1 September 2021, 15:01
Clifford Keesler
Looking better all the time.
1 September 2021, 18:48

Thanks for your support Clifford! Much appreciated 👍

Today's session: some moderate chipping with AK's watercolour pencils
11 September 2021, 19:46
Spanjaard
Nice chipping
11 September 2021, 19:52
Sebastian Meyner
Thanks alot Spanjaard!

Weathering is looking awesome.

This looks already promising 👍

Sebastian Meyner
Thank you mate! ....du hast allerdings mit deiner Zero die Latte ganz schön hoch gelegt 😉
12 September 2021, 09:57
Daniel Klink
Nearly perfect surface Sebastian...wow!!! 👍
12 September 2021, 09:57
Sebastian Meyner
Nearly?! ...what's wrong with it? 😛 Just kidding! Thank you Daniel! 🙂
12 September 2021, 10:01
Jan Peters
Nice wear and tear Sebastian
12 September 2021, 10:29
Guillaume Blanchet
Great paint chipping effect! To me, it's always the most stressful part of the model building. You've manage to hit the right ratio of chipping amount.

12 September 2021, 12:38
Sebastian Meyner
Thank you Jan 👍
@Guillaume: Thanks for the comliment mate! For the chipping I use AK's watercolour pencils. So far the easiest solution for all my chipping needs 😉

Thank you mate 🙂
12 September 2021, 15:29
Guillaume Blanchet
@ Sebastian. I didn't knew you could use water with these!

I have just done some testing and I'm getting way better result after dipping the tip of the pencil with warm water.

It's a good thing we talked about it 😉 .
12 September 2021, 16:02
Sebastian Meyner
Well....I actually never used them 'wet'. Normally I draw the scratches dicectly on a matt finish (either clear coat or straight on the paint)

Now I might have to try the pencils 'wet' as well. So
unintentionally....a good thing we talked about it indeed 😛
13 September 2021, 16:36
Sebastian Meyner
Today's job…painting some minor details and gloss-coating the whole thing. Slowly but surly I'm getting there
15 September 2021, 09:40
Clifford Keesler
It is looking very nice Sebastian.
16 September 2021, 01:02
Sebastian Meyner
Thanks Clifford 👍
16 September 2021, 09:00
Sebastian Meyner
So today I tried HGW (or any brand of...) wet transfers for the first time. Mmmh....how to phrase it in a nice way?! Not my cup of tea really! Ok, if I get them to work propperly it's still a lot of work, for something that's not that far off from a nice set of Cartograh decals or painting with stencils. You treat those things like decals with decal solution and so on...and after you'll have to peel and clean, while trying not to damage your paint job in the process. Imho it's not worth it. Sorry to the wet transfer fan boys 😉
16 September 2021, 19:24
Jan Peters
Troublesome as it might have been, the result looks good 😉
24 September 2021, 19:27
Sebastian Meyner
Thank you Jan 👍 However, this project had a little bit more in store for me. So much so that two days ago it almost departed for it's first and only flight...into the bin!

My usual oil wash started to desolve the gloss coat, almost all the chipping and started to eat into the actual paint job. Nasty business 🙁 I ended up carefully removing this gloss-oil-chipping mush. Lukyly the paint job itself was largely intact. Today I just sealed the whole mess with matt varnish....et voilà: looking good again. But no chipping or pin wash this time 😉
24 September 2021, 19:59
Spanjaard
that was close. good that you could save the situation!
24 September 2021, 20:52
Guillaume Blanchet
Great rescue! It doesn't show anymore.
25 September 2021, 00:23
Sebastian Meyner
Thanks guys 👍 I'm still trying to figure out why and how that happened....to prevent something like that in the future
25 September 2021, 04:29
Thomas Bischoff
yor Zero looks really great! Regarding the gloss coat incident:what paint did you use?
25 September 2021, 04:50
Sebastian Meyner
Thank you Thomas 👍 As I always do: Tamiya's X22 clear thinned down with Mr. Hobby self leveling thinner. Left it to dry for 24hrs and then added my (also usual) selfmade wash made out of oil paint and Zippo lighter fluid. But this is the the first time it reacted so severly with eachother....or reacted at all for that matter.
25 September 2021, 06:06
Robin (WhiteGlint)
Good thing you saved it. 👍
25 September 2021, 08:43
Sebastian Meyner
i start to think so as well 😉 Thank you mate!
25 September 2021, 09:32
Guy Rump
looks great 👍
25 September 2021, 11:40
Thomas Bischoff
did you use more self levelling thinner than normal? It shouldn't be the acrylic X-22
25 September 2021, 11:50
Sebastian Meyner
Thanks Guy 👍

@Thomas: not really, around 1/3 X22 mixed with 2/3 thinner. Normally that works just fine. The only thing that was 'different', is that I used a new (small glas bottle) instead of my usual 16ml jar that I had pre-mixed. Maby a faulty batch?!
25 September 2021, 12:36
Thomas Bischoff
so leave this as one of the big mysteries of the century - if pic 30 shows the unchipped result then I can live with it 😄
25 September 2021, 13:14
Sebastian Meyner
Yes No.30 shows it after the matt coat had fully cured. I guess you're right...one less for the bin 😉
25 September 2021, 13:33
Sebastian Meyner
....almost there 🙂

Thank you very much RuiS 🙂 It's much appriciated...as usual 😄 But I have to add, without some trick and techniques I saw here on SCM, I would still just glue together an brush a little. So the compliment goes to all those inspiring and inspired mates out there 👍
