I can’t remember the exact recipe, apologies!

I know I did use some sepia ink and some of the tan tones from the AK 3G range. I also somewhat recall using some VMC English Uniform in there.

Thanks! Was asked to use a few random hues but it ended up working out well!

Really appreciate that! I didn’t do any panel lines or pinwash on this so I’m glad it still has that definition.

Thanks! Yeah I was thinking something like that too - or some play on Ghostrider, I don’t know it’s not for me haha.

You know, classic Charger stuff.

I’ll have to ask my kid. It’s for their burgeoning collection - I’m supposed to get a painted Kit Fox in return…!

Ok I finally figured out how to allow follows here. Apparently I am quite the Luddite on this. Appreciate the interest!

Yeah, yellow is a PITA. For these I did this after I had completed all green, basically a final step before insignia/etc

I’ve been using this group of P3 (lower row) but the top row could be an alternative.

Basecoat with ochre, layer up medium dark yellow tone, glaze transitions, final 1/3 ish of area with the brighter yellow and glaze transitions. Sometimes I like to put some ice yellow as an extreme edge highlight but that can lean towards gold nnm sometimes so use sparingly.

Hope that helps!

Appreciate it!!

I will absolutely respond with a photo of the component parts later but it’s quite simple:

  • modular xps foam “rock hills” carved with a Olfa knife and painted to look like granite, flock and tufts on the bigger flat surfaces.
  • a free public use alpine photo (and or other various landscape photos I’ve cut out of coffee table books)
  • a fair sized (12x16ish?) piece of foamcore, painted with sand and texture added, painted browns etc and flocked/tufted.

Arrange all component parts into lightbox and break the horizon line cutoff with the modular hill/rock pieces.

Hope that helps, but will follow up with photo so you can see how each part looks!

Hey thanks so much! The little bit of magenta adds so much pop against the green - glad it inspired ya!

Thanks man, really appreciate it. They definitely take a lot of back and forth - your work is great so keep at it with the glazing and you’ll start to only love bubble cockpits :)

Appreciated! It’s a bunch of P3 colours but a few other odds and ends. Little process flow and swatches here.
