From one of my favorite movies "The Great Waldo Pepper". The prototype from the 1975 movie. Some awesome flying scenes  The upper surface of the bottom wing:  Masked and airbrushed. Fairly happy with the results for my first checkerboard. Using the old Revell kit from the 70's so if this pans out will do it again with a modern kit. Previous effort in 1/32 with a wing nut wings Roland D VI   My first real WWI plane since I was a kid. |

Great models! I just don't have the patience to do that sort of thing, although I wish I did.

Nice work! I read of a technique of 'painting' a model way back in the day, whatever 'the day' is, that I gave a try. Given that oil paint is lighter than water, first sink your model body (I used a model of an old Chevy van) into an adequately sized container (plastic liner recommended)of water so that it is entirely submerged with a wire run through it so you can retrieve it, then pour oil based model paint into the water. This of course leaves limitless opportunity for artistic freedom, I poured in mostly green and silver and then put in bits of red, blue, yellow, and maybe some other(s). I then swirled it around with a pencil stopping short of actually mixing the colors. Then slowly and steadily pull the model up through the paint, leaving a nice even coat of paint on the entire model body. This will give you a paint job that will have viewers scratching their heads trying to figure out how you did it. My van project turned out fantastic, wish I had a camera back then
