Re: Bluesteels Baltimore
Camo going on. The colurs look a lot lighter in the flash but they are actually quite dark in natural light. Dealing with any bleed onto the white is tricky as it takes a lot of small touch op coats to cover the darker shades.

Re: Bluesteels Baltimore
The colours look good and the white is very sharp. Coming along well
Enjoyment over accuracy. That's my motto

Re: Bluesteels Baltimore
Thanks for the kind comments everyone. It's not a competition winner, but slow and careful progress is being made and it's now starting to look like a FROG Baltimore as FROG intended :D

Re: Bluesteels Baltimore
I'm calling that a finish. Quite please with the hand painted white, better than the camo I think.
May revisit the nose glazing sometime in the future as my Bete Noir is not the frame painting
but attaching to the fuselage. I used Krystal Klear but it oozed and because it's soft it doesn't
file down but tears out leaving gaps which are hard to fill.

Re: Bluesteels Baltimore ***FINISHED***
That looks really sharp! And it's great finish with a brush, very good indeed.

Re: Bluesteels Baltimore ***FINISHED***
Excellent work with the white paint - it really does look exceedingly good.
Nice to see something a bit different.
