Cracking on with the project!

The plane was primed Skeleton Bone last night. I will be painting it white with an airbrush, the theory is that skelly bone gives a good weathered base.

I glued the parts of the plane to the board and blended them in with some PVA, sand and modelling compound.

The with the modelling compound PVA’d sand dry, I got a coat of primer on. I used Army Painter terrain primer ”wilderness and woodland”.

After the terrain primer was dry, it was time to start slapping on some colour to the raised areas.

I used my trusty artists acrylics from big tubes. Applied in very slapdash manner, all will be blended in with washes and drybrushing later.

One observation on the modelling compound: it dries a bit brittle. So parts were chipping off when I was brushing on the paint, which was alright as I was able to cover any patched with paint. If I wanted to avoid that, it would have been a good idea the give the whole piece a coat of PVA before painting.

 

While the acrylics were drying, I went with the airbrush to add white colour to the plane itself.

Looks excellent. I too have a crashed plane printed out, buts it’s different to this one. This one looks excellent.
Nicely done.
