Commander McBride Posted September 4, 2003 Posted September 4, 2003 Hey, I posted this earlier in the Models section, but I thought i'd do so here, too... Anyways, I watched the second episode again today, and I noticed that the missiles are clearly seen on the MAVE. They are blue overall, and have yellow stripes. However, this oculd be a color specially for dummy rounds, because it's specified that they aren't real. Quote
wm cheng Posted September 4, 2003 Author Posted September 4, 2003 Yeah, you're right - ah, I don't feel so bad about the made up scheme afterall. I really like the way the look in this colour. I might add the yellow/brown stripes afterwards though. Thanks Quote
Commander McBride Posted September 4, 2003 Posted September 4, 2003 For what it's worth, I like the scheme you're using better, myself. I think the bright blue of the OVA missiles is stupid looking. The other issue is that we only see them really clearly on the AI controlled MAVE, which is ina white and blue scheme, so the missiles may be painted specially for it. Speaking of that scheme, if you (or anyone else, for that matter) ever do another MAVE (resin, for instance), you should consider doing it in the demonstrator scheme, it looks pretty cool. Quote
IIymij Posted September 5, 2003 Posted September 5, 2003 hey WM thanks for feed bak on the future finish, you said somehting about using 1000 grit to kinda sand it down first but unfortunatley i dont got that stuff hope it works without the sanding, ill try using it with some old clear frame or such but yea finaly got some pix but they r hella blurry .. dunno what happened since its my friends webcam but yea take a look =)) the uneven reflections might give you a lil idea whats going on.... http://www.imagestation.com/album/?id=4289210513 if you have image station if ya dont u can use my nickie and pass ill pm it to you if needed acutally these links might wokr im not shure http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid7...76.jpg.orig.jpg http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid7...69.jpg.orig.jpg http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid7...5e.jpg.orig.jpg http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid7...24.jpg.orig.jpg http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid7...fd.jpg.orig.jpg http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid7...d6.jpg.orig.jpg heres my new yang 19 in progress http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid7...99.jpg.orig.jpg http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid7...48.jpg.orig.jpg still masked up and stuff hopefully it'll turn out nice.... **i heard "painters touch" is good for top coating and supposably cheaper then tamiya top coats? can anybody confirm?** thanks ya all for the help Quote
IIymij Posted September 5, 2003 Posted September 5, 2003 ack i just clicked the links and they dont seem to be wokring so ill just give you guys my imagstation name / pass to login to see IIymij pass = deadpool Quote
wm cheng Posted September 5, 2003 Author Posted September 5, 2003 Hey IIymij I logged in using your name and pass but there were no images. Why don't you start your own thread in this How To section and post the images to the thread - then PM me so I know when they are up - I will be glad to help if I can. Never heard of Painters touch - but becareful with primers not meant for styrene plastics - it may also adversly affect subsequent layers of paint on top of that. The sandpaper is to eliminate the center seam on the Valkyrie's canopy - there is no center seam on a YF-19's canopy only the VF-1 - and I woudl suggest higher than a 1000, up to 2000 would be better. Good Luck. Quote
IIymij Posted September 5, 2003 Posted September 5, 2003 hmm yea good idea ehhehe really it didnt work? clicking the first link then loggin in? how wierd but anyways i have them also posted here now **cross my fingers i hope this works / any file with 19 in it** http://members.shaw.ca/iiymij/jpeg/ ill start a newb thread hints tips and tricks Quote
David Hingtgen Posted September 5, 2003 Posted September 5, 2003 Bright blue overall usually indicates training bombs (little bombs ballistically identical to big ones---the infamous 4-pound bomb) but I've also seen it used for what is basically a weight---a Sidewinder filled with cement. (Planes do NOT like asymmetrical loads---so if you have just one weapon on one side, you need to weight it down on the other--usually a fuel tank, but small things need a smaller weight). Finally, I've seen bright blue Sidewinders with olive drab/grey bits, that I haven't quite figured out. Usually see them at airshows! Maybe they're "extra-dummy" to protect civilians who might mess with them. (Seriously, I think they're acquisition rounds or something) Quote
